What local SEO means

Local SEO is the work of making your business show up for searches that name your town or locality, such as a service plus an area name. GullySales sets up locality pages, local citations and map listings so nearby customers find you before a competitor across town.

For freight and transport companies

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

  • “The booking office and the godown are two addresses”

    A customer with a parcel wants the counter and a lorry wants the loading bay, and one listing sends both to the wrong place.

  • “Nobody can find shed number forty-seven”

    The map drops the pin on the main road of the nagar, and the customer walks past thirty identical shutters looking for yours.

  • “Parcel service to a city is a search with a load behind it”

    A trader types the destination city beside the trader's own area, and the listing carrying that lane gets the walk-in.

What we do

What we deliver for freight and transport companies.

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

  1. Listings handled for the office and the godown

    The booking counter and the loading godown set up correctly, each with the right hours and the right phone number on it.

    Result: Customers and lorries go to the right address.

  2. The pin moved to your shed and gate

    Map position corrected to the shed number and the entrance a lorry can use, with the nagar, the row and a landmark in the directions.

    Result: Nobody walks past thirty shutters.

  3. Lanes and services entered on the listing

    The routes you run, part load, full load and the specialised vehicles, listed as services in the words a trader would use.

    Result: A caller knows you go there before ringing.

  4. Photographs of the fleet, godown and counter

    Pictures of the vehicles, the loading bay, the stacked consignments and the booking counter, taken on a working day.

    Result: A trader can see the company is real.

  5. Loading and booking hours stated honestly

    The hours the counter takes bookings and the hours loading actually happens, including the days you close, written on the listing.

    Result: Nobody arrives after the last loading.

  6. Calls and direction requests reported

    The calls, direction requests and messages each listing brings, counted against the position before either was claimed.

    Result: You can see what the map brings the counter.

How the result is measured

  • Map pack ranking
  • Local search visibility
  • Enquiries by locality

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

What Google weighs here

How a trader or a plant finds a transporter on the map, and what to fix first.

Trucking, forwarding or agent
Choose trucking company, freight forwarding service or transport service by the work that earns most. Pick the one that matches how a shipper describes you, not the one you prefer.
Lanes as services
List the routes you run, such as Bengaluru to Chennai full load or part load to Hyderabad, as separate services. Shippers search the lane, not the word logistics.
Booking counter against shed
Say which address takes bookings, which receives goods and which loads the trucks. A consignor who drives to the wrong address with a load loses a day.
Justdial and IndiaMART transport listings
Small shippers still look here. Keep company name, booking counter number and GST details identical to the profile, and remove entries with an old number.
Photographs of fleet and godown
Show the trucks with the company name painted, the loading bay and the booking counter. A plant manager judges an unknown transporter by the yard.
Questions on liability
Answer whether you take part loads, whether you issue a lorry receipt, and how a claim for damage is handled. These come up before the first booking.

Who it is for

This is written for these freight and transport companies.

  • Full truck load fleet owners
  • Part truck load and groupage operators
  • Transport brokers and freight agents
  • Container and trailer transport companies
  • Temperature-controlled and reefer transport
  • Tanker operators for liquids and chemicals
  • Heavy haulage and project cargo movers
  • Staff bus and employee transport operators
  • Freight forwarders handling road, rail and port movements

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your shed is a yard where trucks load and customers never visit, so a pin would send people to the wrong gate.
  • The transport nagar address is shared with other firms and you have not agreed which name sits on the board.

How it works

How the local SEO 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

    Write down what is true

    Each branch's real address, signboard name, phone, hours and owning Google account go into one record you sign off. Every later listing is copied from it.

  2. 2

    Search as your buyer does

    We search each branch on a phone from points around it, in your buyers' words, and note who appears with what reviews and photos.

  3. 3

    Fix the profile first

    Ownership first, then name, address, pin, phone, hours and business type. Google can suspend a profile with extra words in its name or an address that is not a real premises.

  4. 4

    Build the branch pages and match the listings

    Each real branch gets its own page, and the other listings are changed to agree with it. We write none for towns without a branch, because Google treats near-identical pages as doorway pages.

  5. 5

    Ask, reply and measure

    We agree with each branch who asks for reviews, when and how. Results are set against the baseline recorded before work began, and the branch that is behind gets the next round.

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.

Tell us what you need
We are one of many in the transport nagar. Does a listing help?
It is how a trader picks between the sheds. Photographs of your fleet and the lanes you run separate you before anyone walks in. Most of your neighbours have a listing with a name, a number and nothing else.
Should the godown have its own listing?
If it takes bookings or deliveries from customers, yes, with its own hours and number. If it is only a loading point for your own vehicles, keep it off the map and put the address on your lane pages instead.
Should we list every city our trucks run to?
List the lanes you run regularly as services, but give the profile only one pin, at your base. Listing a city as an address where you have no office risks suspension. Use website pages for each lane instead.
A booking agent with no trucks is listed as a transporter. What can we do?
Do not copy that listing. Strengthen your own profile with fleet photographs and the shed address, and report a listing that gives a false address or name. Check the platform's current rules for how to report one.
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.
