Travel agencies and tour operators · Pay per click advertising
Buy the searches a portal cannot serve, in the month people are planning.
Pay per click advertising puts your agency in front of a family while the dates are still being argued about at home. GullySales runs search campaigns on the trips you operate, keeps the budget off flight and hotel searches, and asks for the dates on the form.
What pay per click advertising means
Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend daily against enquiries received.

Sales and marketing for travel agencies and tour operators, the overview.
For travel agencies and tour operators
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Bidding on flight tickets is money lit on fire”
The portals will outspend you on every ticketing search, and the click that arrives wanted a fare, not an agent.
“Advertise in January for May”
School holiday trips are decided over the winter. The family clicking in May has already booked with somebody else.
“The click has to reach WhatsApp”
A landing page with a form and no number loses the father who wants to ask one question before dinner.
What we do
What we deliver for travel agencies and tour operators.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Campaigns built on trips, not on destinations
One campaign per package you operate, worded the way the trip is actually sold, so a Char Dham budget is never spent on a Goa search.
Result: Each trip gets a budget you can judge on its own.
Flight, hotel and portal searches kept out
Negative keywords on cheap flights, hotel booking, refund, PNR status, visa agent jobs and the portal brand names, reviewed each month as new ones appear.
Result: The budget stops competing with MakeMyTrip on its own ground.
A landing page per trip with the number on it
The page behind each advert carries that itinerary, photographs from your own departures and a click to chat button beside the form.
Result: A father with one question can ask it instead of leaving.
A form that asks the dates and the headcount
Travel dates, adults and children with ages, departure city and whether passports are ready, all asked before anybody builds an itinerary.
Result: You know whether it is a job before you spend an hour on it.
Spend moved to the months people plan in
Budget raised over the winter for summer holidays, before the muhurtham months for honeymoons and when yatra registration opens, instead of spread flat across the year.
Result: You are in front of them while the family is still deciding.
Cost per booking, not cost per click
Each month's spend read against enquiries, quotes sent and bookings taken for every trip, measured against the baseline from the audit.
Result: You can stop advertising the package that never converts.
How the result is measured
- Cost per click
- Cost per enquiry
- Enquiries from paid search
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.
Who it is for
This is written for these travel agencies and tour operators.
- Retail travel agencies selling domestic packages
- Tour operators running their own group departures
- International holiday and honeymoon specialists
- Pilgrimage and yatra tour organisers
- Air, rail and bus ticketing agents
- Corporate travel and MICE agencies

- School and college educational tour operators
- Local guides and sightseeing operators
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.
How the work runs for travel agencies and tour operators
- 1
Assess
We look at where enquiries come from, how fast you reply, how quotes are written and followed up, and how many travellers return.
- 2
Fix the quote and follow-up
A clear itinerary format and a WhatsApp routine, so each quote gets an answer, yes or no.
- 3
Show real trips
Pages for your signature packages and a routine for collecting traveller photographs and reviews.
- 4
Fill the calendar
Seasonal campaigns planned months ahead, plus corporate, school and pilgrimage outreach for the quieter periods.
- 5
Bring travellers back
A past traveller calendar and referral ask, so the family you took to Kerala asks you about Kashmir.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every monthly report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
