Web hosting companies · Digital marketing

Spend on the few channels where a hosting buyer is deciding.

Digital marketing for a hosting company is the choice of where to spend effort across search, advertisements, email, social channels and partners. GullySales works on ranking those channels by the customers who renew, not by clicks.

What digital marketing means

Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

Sales and marketing for web hosting companies, the overview.

For web hosting companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Every channel claims the credit”

    Search, advertisements and a designer's recommendation can each touch one customer. Without source tags on sign-up, the channel with the loudest report gets the next rupee, whether or not it brings renewing customers.

  • “Broad advertising brings bargain hunters”

    Bidding on general hosting terms draws buyers who compare the first-month price and nothing else. Narrow keywords such as migration and WordPress reach people with a particular problem and a clearer reason to stay.

  • “Email is the neglected renewal channel”

    A host holds a list of every customer's address and renewal date. That list can carry setup advice, upgrade notes and renewal notice. Some hosts use email only for invoices.

  • “Partners are marketing without a budget line”

    A designer, an accountant or a local training centre can recommend your plans to a long list of owners. No advertisement records it, so the work is neither measured nor looked after.

What we do

What we deliver for web hosting companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A channel ranking

    Search, advertisements, email, social channels and partners set against paying customers and renewals.

    Result: Your spend is ordered by what brought lasting customers.

  2. A narrow advertising start

    A few keyword groups for migration, WordPress and reseller plans, with a cost per paying customer to watch.

    Result: Advertising begins on terms you can measure.

  3. A customer email plan

    Setup, upgrade and renewal emails planned together so customers hear from you for reasons beyond invoices.

    Result: Email carries more than billing.

  4. A partner tracker

    A list of designers and other referrers, with the accounts each one brought and what became of them.

    Result: You know which partners are worth your time.

  5. A reading of the baseline

    Sign-ups by source, renewal rate and reseller accounts recorded first and read again after changes.

    Result: Before and after can be compared on the same measures.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Searches your buyers type

The searches worth paying for and the channels that carry the others.

web hosting for small business
Competitive and broad. Test a small paid search start with a page for owners, and read paying accounts, not clicks.
wordpress hosting with free migration
A buyer already moving. A page naming what the migration covers and a booking form turns this into a sign-up.
website not working what to do
A help article that ranks for an owner in trouble, linking to your support and a plan fit.
hosting for web designers
A partner channel. Reach designers through communities and referrals, and track every account they bring.
email hosting for company
A page for businesses leaving free mail. Pair it with an email set-up guide and a clear plan list.

Who it is for

This is written for these web hosting companies.

  • Small shops and clinics with a basic brochure website
  • WordPress and WooCommerce store owners
  • Freelance web designers hosting client sites
  • Web design and digital agencies running reseller accounts
  • Colleges, schools and trusts with a simple site and email
  • Bloggers and content publishers
  • Startups needing a first VPS before moving to the cloud
  • Businesses wanting hosted business email on their own domain

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have not tagged sign-up sources, and any digital spend would be impossible to judge.
  • You rely on a few designer partners who bring most sales, and a broad campaign would reach the wrong buyer.
  • Your checkout loses visitors on mobile, and traffic would only repeat the loss.

How it works

How the digital marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Agree the one aim

    We settle what the campaign must achieve, such as enquiries for a launch or footfall for an event, and the date it must be live.

  2. 2

    Check what is ready

    We list the channels you already run, who runs them, and what each can produce in the time available. Anything that cannot be done properly is left out.

  3. 3

    Write the idea and the message sheet

    We draft the one-sentence idea, test it against each planned format, and fix the wording that all channels will copy.

  4. 4

    Brief every channel from the same sheet

    Your agency, freelancer or in-house person receives the message sheet and calendar. Their work is checked against the sheet before it goes out.

  5. 5

    Run on the shared calendar

    Channels go live together. If the offer changes, every channel is changed on the same day from the same sheet.

  6. 6

    Measure as one campaign

    Enquiries and orders are read against the baseline. The reporting schedule is agreed in writing with the scope.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Where should a small hosting company start?
With your own customers: who stays, who leaves, and how they found you. That points to two or three channels worth effort. We read the list with you before choosing anything.
Is paid advertising necessary?
Not always. Some hosts grow through search and partners alone. If advertising is used, begin with narrow keywords and judge it by paying customers, not by clicks or form fills.
How do we judge digital marketing for hosting?
By renewals and paying accounts by source. A channel that brings sign-ups who leave at the first renewal is costing money, whatever its click numbers look like.
How do we judge whether digital marketing is working for hosting?
Count paying accounts that renewed, by source, not visits or sign-ups. Hosting buyers leave at the first renewal when they came for a bargain. A source that brings customers who stay is worth more than one that fills a trial list.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
