Why logistics marketing ticks differently
Logistics is a margin business that runs 24/7: the cargo rolls while you are sleeping, the shipper searches at 3 a.m., and the competition quotes a minute later. On top there are two markets in one – the shipper who negotiates on margin, and the driver whom the market takes from the operation. Marketing here has to work on both sides: cargo volume on one, driver potential on the other – and both measured in margin, not in reach.
What we do for this industry
Four levers that demonstrably work in this industry – each with a measurable goal, none of them from the standard catalogue.
Route & freight SEO
Content clusters per corridor (e.g. Hamburg–Madrid), per cargo type and per equipment – plus AI-search presence so your freight forwarder is recommended in AI answers to freight questions. Every route becomes its own landing page with a shipper CTA.
Performance ads on shippers
Google Ads on purchase-intent freight searches (freight plus goods plus direction, freight forwarder plus region) with negative keywords against job portals and comparison tools: the budget buys cargo enquiries, not clicks on job ads.
Lead routing by margin and volume
Every freight enquiry is automatically routed by route, volume and target margin – dispatch and sales only see what they can handle. Automatic first response with an indicative price range, so the enquiry does not drift to the competition.
Driver recruiting as a marketing channel
The biggest bottleneck in the market is driver potential. We build employer branding content, a recruiting funnel and a follow-up system that accompanies candidates from application to contract signature – documented and measurable like any other channel.

Frequently asked questions: Logistics & Transport
Do you only work with freight forwarders, or also with parcel services and logistics platforms?
With freight forwarders, parcel services, freight start-ups and B2B logistics platforms. The architecture is the same – route SEO, performance, CRM routing. What differs are the parameters: on platforms, the acquisition of both sides (shippers + carriers) drives the KPIs; on forwarders, driver recruiting on top.
How do you measure success when cargo is often closed by phone?
With call tracking and dispatch reporting: every call is captured with an anonymised number, dispatch reports the cargo – automatically into the CRM. So we see which ads, which route page and which content actually bring cargo, not just clicks.
Is marketing worth it for an operation with only 5–10 trucks?
Especially then – smaller operations have the lowest fixed marketing costs and win their next 1–2 key customers through exactly the channels we build. The lever is focus: 2–3 core corridors, 1 driver recruiting track, 1 CRM discipline – instead of 10 scatter channels.
How long until route SEO shows effect?
Performance ads from week 1, route SEO first movement from week 4–8, stable visibility on core corridors from month 3–6. In parallel we build the AI-search presence that recommends concrete freight forwarder names in freight questions – that is the channel that is just emerging.
