Website design and development companies · Digital marketing
Keep your own marketing alive while a build is due on Friday.
Digital marketing for a web company is the plan that keeps your site, search, social and past-client mail moving while the studio is buried in delivery. GullySales sets the calendar, names who owns each piece, and reports the projects it brought in.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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.

For website design and development companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Delivery weeks are the weeks marketing stops”
Two launches land in one fortnight, nothing goes out, and the enquiry drought arrives a month later when everyone is free.
“Prospects check whether you practise what you sell”
You charge for speed and search, so an owner looks at your own load time before the first call.
“Two buyers sit on two different channels”
A manufacturer wanting a catalogue site is on Google and IndiaMART, a brand founder is on Instagram, and one calendar cannot serve both.
What we do
What we deliver for website design and development companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A plan with a name against every piece
Three months of case pages, posts and mailers, each with who drafts it, who approves it and the week it goes out.
Result: Nothing waits for a free week that never arrives.
Work banked before the delivery crunch
Case write-ups, posts and one mailer drafted and approved between projects, ready to publish in the fortnight two launches collide.
Result: Your own marketing survives a heavy month.
The studio site held to the standard you sell
Load speed, mobile layout and the search basics checked on your own site, using the same checklist you bill a client for.
Result: A prospect testing your site finds nothing to hold against you.
Separate material for owners and for agencies
Search and listings aimed at owners looking for a site, LinkedIn and a partner note aimed at agencies who need a build partner.
Result: Two different buyers each get something written for them.
One report the founders read in ten minutes
Enquiries by source and by build type on a single page, compared with the baseline recorded before the work started.
Result: You can drop the channel that has never produced a project.
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.
Where to start for web studios
Use your own site as proof of the standard, then write the projects up.
- Your own site held to the standard
- Check that your site opens without delay on a phone, shows recent work and has a clear way to start a project. A prospect checks it before replying.
- A case study for each project type
- Write a brief, the decisions and the finished result in plain words, with client approval. Note which case study a prospect read before enquiring.
- A scoping questionnaire
- Publish a short list of what you need to price a site: pages, content, integrations and who approves. Record how many prospects fill it in.
- A handover list with a maintenance date
- Record every live site with its handover date and maintenance renewal date. Offer the plan before the date.
- An enquiry sheet with source and size
- Log each enquiry with source, type of site and rough size. Count which channel brings projects you want to build.
- What to leave until later
- Freelance platform bidding and ads on the phrase website design can wait until the sheet shows where good projects come from.
Who it is for
This is written for these website design and development companies.
- Small web design studios for local businesses
- WordPress and WooCommerce developers
- Shopify and e-commerce website builders
- Custom web application developers
- UI and UX design firms
- Web companies focused on one industry, such as healthcare or real estate
- Hosting and website maintenance providers
- Freelance web developers building a team
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Nobody in the studio owns the marketing, so a plan with names against each piece would still stall in a delivery week.
- You win all work through one agency partner, and a channel plan for open-market owners would not reach the buyer who decides.
- Your own website is outdated, and spending on channels before fixing it would send prospects to weak proof.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
