Freight and transport companies · Search engine optimisation

Win the lane search, because a trader types two city names.

Search for a transport company is a lane typed as two city names, with a vehicle or a part load attached. GullySales writes a page for each route you run, names the transit days and the vehicle types, and reports enquiries by lane rather than by visits.

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 freight and transport companies

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

  • “The plant does not search, the trader does”

    A factory's logistics head already has a panel, so the search traffic on your lanes is the small trader with three pallets and no transporter.

  • “A lane page beats a services page”

    One page listing twenty routes ranks for none of them, while a page for a single route with transit days and vehicle sizes holds its own.

  • “Part load is a different search from full load”

    Somebody with half a tonne types parcel or part load service, and a page written for a 32-foot container never reaches that buyer.

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. A page for each lane you actually run

    One page per route naming the transit days, the vehicle types, the commodities you handle and the loading points at either end.

    Result: A trader searching that route finds you directly.

  2. Separate pages for part load and full load

    Different pages, wording and forms for a half-tonne consignment and a full container, because those are two different businesses.

    Result: The right enquiry reaches the right desk.

  3. Pages for the specialised vehicles you run

    Reefer, tanker, trailer and over-dimensional work set out with the capacities, the permits and the routes you have already done.

    Result: A specialist enquiry stops going to a broker.

  4. A quote form asking lane, weight and date

    The form built to capture the route, the weight, the material, the vehicle wanted and the loading date, ahead of the phone number.

    Result: Your first reply can carry an actual rate.

  5. Speed and readability on a phone

    Pages that open quickly on a phone at a loading point, with the number reachable without scrolling past a company profile.

    Result: A supervisor at a gate can call you in seconds.

  6. Enquiries reported by lane

    A count of enquiries, quotes and loads booked split by route, read against the figures from before the pages existed.

    Result: You see which lanes the site actually feeds.

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

What a trader or a plant types when a load has to move, and the page that answers it.

Delhi to Mumbai truck transport
A lane page. Name the vehicle types you run, the usual transit days as your own norm, the pickup points and a quote form that asks weight, goods and date.
part load transport from Ludhiana to Chennai
A part load page. Explain how consignments are consolidated, the weight bands you accept and how the LR is issued, so a small trader knows what to expect.
20 ft container truck rate
A rate page. Explain what a freight rate depends on: lane, weight, vehicle type, return load, tolls and loading charges. Show how a quote is built.
reefer truck for pharma transport
A temperature-control page. State the range the vehicles hold, how the temperature is logged and shown to the shipper, and the goods you carry.
ODC trailer for machinery transport
A heavy haul page. List trailer types and the dimensions they take, who arranges the permits and how the route is surveyed before the load moves.
transport company with GPS tracking and insurance
A trust page. Describe the tracking you offer, goods insurance, how claims are handled and the documents you carry, such as the e-way bill and LR.

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.

  • You run only on a few contract lanes for two plants, so no trader searching two city names would be a customer.
  • Your trucks belong to partners who have not agreed to be named, so a lane page would carry no fleet to describe.

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.

Tell us what you need
How many lane pages do we need?
One for each route you run regularly, starting with the return lanes where trucks go back empty. Six good pages beat sixty thin ones. Add a page only when you can name the transit days and the vehicles honestly.
Our customers are factories. Do they even search?
The purchase team does, when a regular transporter fails on a Friday. That is a small number of searches and every one is a trial load. The bigger volume is traders and small manufacturers.
Our trucks belong to several partners. Whose name goes on the pages?
The contracting company's, using the registered name, address and GST details that match the Maps listing. List the fleet by vehicle type and count, but leave out individual truck registrations and driver details, which do not help a buyer.
Should we write a page on every route we have ever run?
No. Write pages for lanes you run regularly and can quote with confidence. One-off routes can sit in a table on a region page. A lane page for a route you rarely serve brings enquiries you cannot price.
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.
