Air cargo agencies · Search engine optimisation

Rank where an exporter types the route and cargo, not only your company name.

SEO for an air cargo agency is the work of appearing when an exporter or forwarder searches for air freight from your city to a destination. GullySales works on route pages, cargo-type pages and technical basics, with no promise on rankings.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For air cargo agencies

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

  • “Searches name a route and a commodity”

    A shipper types something like air freight for flowers from Bengaluru to Dubai, with the cargo and the lane in one phrase. A site with only a services list and a head-office address has nothing that matches. A page per route and cargo type does.

  • “Two buyers search in two ways”

    An exporter looks for an agent who can move a particular product. A forwarder looks for a handling partner at a particular airport. One home page cannot answer both, so the site needs separate paths with separate wording.

  • “Trust questions decide the click”

    Between two similar results, the shipper opens the one that mentions cold handling, cut-off practice and documents. Thin pages that only claim reliability lose the click to a page that states what the desk actually does with a consignment.

What we do

What we deliver for air cargo agencies.

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

  1. Route and cargo page plan

    A map of which route and cargo-type pairs deserve their own page, built from what your desk actually books.

    Result: A written plan lists every page and the search phrase it serves.

  2. Cargo-type pages

    Pages for perishables, pharma, garments, electronics and dangerous goods, each setting out handling, documents and cut-offs.

    Result: Each cargo type has one page that answers its own shipper questions.

  3. Airport pages

    A page for each cargo terminal you book from, covering access, cut-off practice and destinations asked for.

    Result: A search naming your airport finds a page written for it.

  4. Technical clean-up

    Titles, headings, page speed on mobile, sitemap and internal links reviewed and corrected.

    Result: The site passes a crawl check with a list of what changed.

  5. Search tracking

    A record of the phrases shippers use to reach you and the pages they land on.

    Result: You can read which route and cargo searches bring enquiries.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

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

Searches your buyers type

Write pages for the routes and cargo your buyers search.

air freight from this airport to Dubai
A route page that names the origin airport, the carriers served and the cargo you handle, with a contact for the desk.
perishable air cargo agent
A page for flowers, fruit, vegetables and fish exporters, covering cold-chain handling and cut-off times in plain words.
pharma air cargo handling
A page describing how your desk handles temperature-controlled consignments, without any claim about approvals.
garment air export agent
A page for express garment shippers, covering packing, documents and the last-minute booking process.
IATA cargo agent near me
A location page with your office address and the agency status your firm holds, shown as reported by your firm.

Who it is for

This is written for these air cargo agencies.

  • IATA cargo sales agents handling export and import
  • General sales agents representing airlines
  • Freight forwarders that consolidate air cargo
  • Perishable specialists for flowers, vegetables, fruit and fish
  • Pharma and healthcare cargo handlers
  • Garment and fashion express exporters
  • Electronics and e-commerce air freight agents
  • Courier-linked and express air cargo agents

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no one to write the route and cargo pages, so the site would hold thin pages that match no shipper's search.
  • Your work is only through airline contracts that never need new shippers, so search would reach nobody who books.

How it works

How the search engine optimisation 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

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At an interval agreed in writing we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. 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.

Can you guarantee a first-page ranking?
No. Search engines decide rankings and nobody outside them controls the result. We build pages that match what shippers type and report what changes.
Do we need a page for every destination?
Only for destinations your desk books and wants more of. A thin page for a lane you never serve attracts the wrong enquiry and wastes the shipper's time.
Should rates appear on these pages?
Rates move with space and fuel, so a printed figure goes stale. The page should say what a quote needs and how to request one, then the desk quotes per consignment.
Do exporters and forwarders search differently?
Yes. An exporter types a commodity and a destination, and wants an agent who understands the cargo. A forwarder types an airport or a general sales agent name, and wants space. Build separate pages so each search lands on wording written for that buyer.
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.
