Day care centres · Digital marketing
Parents decide between February and June, so that is where the spend belongs.
Digital marketing for a day care centre connects local search visibility, parent reviews, social media and timed advertising into one system that fills seats, rather than running each activity separately. GullySales builds this around the two clear peaks in a centre's year, the February to June admission season and the ongoing word-of-mouth referral cycle.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
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 day care centres
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Local search and reviews carry the daily enquiry flow”
Most of the year, a strong Google Business Profile and a steady stream of recent reviews bring in enquiries without any paid spend at all.
“Advertising concentrated around the admission season”
Spend on search and social ads works best from February through June, when parents are actively deciding on the new academic year, rather than spread flat across twelve months.
“Corporate outreach runs on its own separate track”
Reaching offices for an employee childcare tie-up is a direct outreach effort with HR contacts, not something local search or social media can generate on its own.
What we do
What we deliver for day care centres.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A connected plan across profile, reviews and ads
One plan tying the Business Profile, review requests, age-group content and admission-season advertising together, instead of running each alone.
Result: Every channel points a parent towards the same next step.
A February to June advertising calendar
A media plan concentrating search and social spend in the admission decision window, rather than spread evenly across the year.
Result: Budget is spent when parents are actually deciding.
A separate corporate outreach track for HR tie-ups
Direct outreach materials and a contact list for offices, run apart from the parent-facing local search and social activity.
Result: Corporate leads are pursued on their own track, not left to a website.
A shared calendar across profile, content and posts
One calendar so age-group content, review asks and social posts are timed together rather than published in isolation.
Result: Parents see a consistent, connected centre rather than scattered posts.
One report covering every channel
A single report on enquiries by source, search, social, referral and corporate, against the recorded baseline.
Result: You see the whole picture in one place instead of several logins.
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 a centre starts
A day care centre starts by showing what a worried parent wants to see before calling.
- Safety and staffing page
- Write who looks after the children, how staff are verified, the carer-to-child ratio you follow and what happens on pick-up.
- Business Profile
- Add photos of the rooms and play area, hours and fees range. Count calls and requests for a visit.
- Trial day routine
- Reply to each enquiry with a trial day slot, and call the parent after it. Record how many trials become enrolments.
- Parent reviews
- Ask happy parents in person and send the link after a good week. Never offer anything in return.
- Corporate HR enquiries
- Prepare a short note for employers listing what a tie-up involves, and name who replies.
- What to leave until later
- Leave paid ads and a wide social campaign until the page and the trial day follow-up are working. Children's photos need written consent.

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 report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the work runs for day care centres
- 1
Assess
We look at how your centre appears when a parent searches nearby, and how fast trial-day enquiries are answered on phone and WhatsApp. We also check where enquiries are being lost between the first message and the signed admission.
- 2
Fix the profile and the reply
Google Business Profile completed with real photographs of the rooms and staff. A WhatsApp and call reply routine that never leaves a parent waiting overnight, plus a record of every enquiry.
- 3
Show the safety proof parents are looking for
Staff verification, CCTV access, the child-to-caregiver ratio and the meal and nap schedule written out clearly. These are the details that move a nervous parent to book a trial day.
- 4
Bring enquiries in
Local search, reviews from real parents, corporate outreach for employee childcare tie-ups, and advertising timed to the April and June admission season.
- 5
Keep families enrolled
A renewal reminder before the academic year changes, and a referral ask to parents already settled in. A follow-up process the front desk actually runs for every trial day that has not converted.
