What we can help you to achieve:

  • Rank more prominently in Google for transport & logistic searches
  • New transport & logistics contracts from organic enquiries
  • Brand visibility growth across AI & Organic search

Client Testimonial

We’ve been working with Assertive on an SEO campaign to help our haulage firm increase enquiries, we’ve seen very good & very positive results, the team are very friendly, helpful & get things done

We approached Assertive Media in 2022 looking for SEO support with our haulage firm’s website. We didn’t rank for much outside of our brand, the website was never really a lead generation source for us, however, our traditional lead sources went quiet so we decided to go all in on SEO, and we’re glad we did. We’ve seen a 3 fold increase in enquiries, many of which are of really good quality. They helped us with local and nationwide SEO and so far so good. I would highly recommend.

JB Louis Breakdowns

SEO Case Study

JB Louis Breakdowns

Assertive Media worked with JB Louis breakdowns on an SEO campaign to help drive up enquiries for their nationwide breakdown and recovery service. We helped JB Louis to improve local SEO performance across main locations across the UK including London, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Bristol, Newcastle and more.

The objective was to increase breakdown recovery enquiries for both personal and commercial breakdowns. Through SEO we were able to secure positions across Google for localised “breakdown services” by location which lead to a new influx of regular phone calls.

Their expanded organic coverage across the UK in Google meant they went on to win a number of breakdown contracts with commercial firms operating lorries & commercial vehicles. We delivered a full SEO campaign which was an amalgamation of local SEO, technical SEO, content production and link building.

Who Assertive Media Helps with SEO Services

At Assertive Media, we pride ourselves on delivering SEO services to a broad range of transport, logistics & haulage firms. We can supply full SEO services to businesses operating across freight & road haulage so businesses in general freight, heavy haulage and refrigerated transport all the way through to delivery & courier services, think of DPD, FedEx, Evri, Parcelforce etc, moving and removal firms, vehicle breakdown firms, global transportation firms, haulage & commercial supply firms.

We perform in-depth analysis of your firms service coverage to understand who is searching, where & how often so we can understand what the size of the opportunity looks like and the onward work required to rank your site so that it’s first when your target clients go to Google and perform a search.

We Help Drive Transportation, Logistics & Haulage Firm Growth

SEO is an important investment, simply because a majority of searches for what you have to offer usually begin at Google or within an LLM such as chatGPT, Claude, Gemini etc. What we are looking for is the optimal route to help drive growth, how do we do it? Tactical research along with high quality SEO delivery.

We look at all searches, even low search volume keywords or zero search volume keywords, because, in this sector it only takes 1 procurement manager to search, find your website, enquire & that subsequently could turn into a £1m contract for your firm.

We focus on driving the highest quality, most relevant traffic to your transport/logistics website, but, we don’t just stop there, we also work on helping to convert as many visitors into clients/enquiring customers as possible, so we’re not just about traffic, we’re about generating high quality, viable leads that turn into revenue and ultimately growth for your firm.

We work across both B2B and B2C firms, so whether you are a localised courier firm delivering parcels or whether you are a nationwide haulage firm delivering food, goods or products across the UK, we can help.

Do Transport and Logistics Companies Really Need SEO?

We get asked this question all the time, and the simple answer is yes. Unless you have a steady stream of people coming to your door every day, then search engine optimisation is absolutely vital for your businesses digital marketing strategy.

SEO makes sure your website is visible through organic search and high quality content will ensure that you get there. In essence, you should think of search engine optimisation as a bridge between your audience and website.

They might not know how to reach your website, or that it exists. But SEO will not only help your audience to discover your site, it will also transport them across to your business.

SEO for Transportation Businesses

We help transportation businesses across the UK and globally from Europe to America.

Transportation as a sector is broad and includes business types such as:

  • Road freight and haulage
  • Courier and last mile delivery services
  • Freight forwarding & distribution
  • Passenger transportation
  • Warehousing & fulfilment
  • Removals & relocation businesses and many more

We provide full SEO services including but not limited to:

  • SEO audits and technical analysis
  • Keyword research & audience analysis
  • Technical SEO services
  • Content strategy, editing and production
  • Link building including digital PR
  • Conversion rate optimisation
  • AI Visibility Optimisation (GEO)

Our primary objectives for transportation & logistics businesses include:

  • Fixing SEO issues and improving organic performance
  • Increasing keyword rankings & total keyword coverage
  • Creating high quality service/brand/business content
  • Increasing brand strength, trust and authority
  • Increasing overall organic and AI visibility
  • Driving up new business enquiries, leads, RFQs
  • Improving conversion rates

Each sector we treat independently, primarily because there’s a huge amount of service variation across transportation & haulage/logistics as a sector.

SEO for Road Freight & Haulage Businesses

At Assertive Media, we help road freight and haulage businesses to grow by improving the brands local and nationwide organic footprint. If you are a freight / haulage business that’s focusing on growth and expansion there is obviously going to be a need to be more prominent in Google search results and in Google my business map pack listings.

Many commercial contracts can come from keywords with low search volume, primarily because freight and haulage searches tend to be quite specific and therefore, the targeting needs to be more refined to increase potential for new enquiries via the website.

We help road freight businesses who deliver everything from wholesale supplies to food to win new contracts by being found for the right keywords in Google search.

If you would like to learn more or would like a free SEO review, get in contact with us today to see how we can help.

SEO for Courier & Last Mile Services

The parcel delivery & courier service industry in the UK is significant with over 1bn packages delivered in 2026 alone. This market is highly competitive with couriers battling one another on price, delivery speed and innovation i.e. delivery apps, smart deliveries & more.

We help parcel couriers & last mile delivery companies to win new contracts, be it delivering parcels on behalf of a retailer through to delivering food, shopping or household goods, it doesn’t matter, if your firm offers courier services we can help.

SEO services are exceptionally beneficial for courier services, especially in the consumer marketplace as well as across B2C markets. Being found for all the things that your courier firm can deliver can make the difference between growth and stagnancy or a loss of new business to competitors.

We help courier firms to optimise their website, content and end user experience so that they perform better in Google for both short tail and long-tail searches.

FAQs

Transport SEO FAQs

How long does it take to see results within transport SEO?

Every campaign we work on is unique, so we can't give a concrete timeline of how long it will take to see results. Most of our clients typically see movement within the first few months, however the degree of movement and growth is heavily impacted by your websites current SEO state, SEO history, brand & link authority.

For most clients we advise on a 6-12 month SEO strategy as a minimum for there to be sufficient time for us to get on-site SEO done, technical SEO done & to be running digital PR, link building & SEO testing.

How much does SEO cost for this niche?

SEO costs for the transportation & logistics niche vary depending on whether you are a more localised business or whether you operate nationwide. SEO prices are highly dependent on your location coverage, niche and your objectives for growth.

SEO for localised transportation, courier & haulage businesses typically ranges between £2,000 - £4,000 per month.

SEO for larger, more nationwide businesses across transportation, logistics, freight can typically cost from £4,000 a month +.

We can provide a free no obligation quote if you get in contact with us.

Do You Guarantee I'll Reach the First Place on Google's Search Engine?

No, simply because we don't control search engines like Google, we merely offer a service that improves and influences the probability of higher rankings based on quality enhancement. No travel seo company out there can guarantee rankings and if they do, we would advise caution when working with them.

We have a high client success rate, 95% of our clients see growth usually within the first 6 months of an SEO campaign.

Will SEO help increase our websites leads & enquiries?

Yes, we perform in-depth keyword research for your business based on the services you offer and the locations you cover. We use keyword research data from tools like Google Search Console, Google Ads Keywords Planner along with AHREFS data to find opportunities for clicks AND conversions.

We focus on where keywords have an intent that's more of a commercial intent - where people searching are looking for a service that your transportation / haulage / freight / logistics firm offers - we ensure you are found for keywords that drive new business enquiries, leads and growth.

What is a Transport SEO Company?

A transport SEO company (also referred to as transport seo agency) is a business that delivers an SEO service that's bespoke and aligned with transport businesses & their objectives, helping to increase rankings and traffic for services that are relevant.

The company will be responsible for seo auditing, keyword research, target demographic/geographic research, technical SEO, content production, link building & user experience optimisation - all of which when combined strategically help to drive increased organic visibility (impressions, clicks, ctr, average position).

Reviews from our Google profile

I have worked with Dan and Ram for over 5 years now and can't fault their attitude and commitment to what they do. They know what they are doing and are able to communicate on a level commensurate with their clients knowledge; which for me was key. They are results driven and always contactable.

OODSOxford City Council
Ran a social media campaign with Assertive. I have to say results were phenomenal. Our historic CPA's were around £60. Assertive ran a Google Ads, Bing Ads and Facebook Lead Ad campaign, after isolating poor conversion performance from Google/Bing Ads, we ran a Facebook campaign, CPA dropped to £22 and the volume of enquires increased. We're saving thousands of pounds a month and getting really good, stable returns. Louise and Alison have been fantastic and answered all of our questions.

CCale BannisterMyriad Associates
Assertive Media delivered an effective SEO strategy for our architecture firm. Very pleased with the results, would highly recommend. We've used other agencies in the past who simply could not deliver on their promises. Assertive Media were realistic with us at the outset and advised that with the budget we proposed that SEO simply wasn't viable. We were reluctant to spend anything given our previous experiences, however they offered us a free month's work to demonstrate what they could do. We took them up on the offer and to our amazement they made a noticeable difference in a short period of time. We invested the extra budget and a year later our rankings were improved significantly. They helped us to increase our conversion rate and we are now inundated with organic enquiries which is great news!

The website created by Assertive media was very slick, premium-looking and delivered against the brief. The team are knowledgable, professional and responsive to our needs.

SEO Strategies for Luxury Travel Brands

Affluent travellers face real decision fatigue when planning complex itineraries, and this fatigue pushes them toward highly structured queries instead: a full thought rather than a couple of keywords, something closer to "private Parisian townhouses with butler service" or "boutique hotels Amalfi Coast with private beach and concierge service."
