Google Ads · Mid-South Logistics
★★★★★5.049 reviews on Google & Clutch

Google Ads for logistics companies that need shippers, not clicks.

We build and run Google Search campaigns for 3PLs, freight brokerages, carriers, and warehouses around Memphis and the Mid-South. Tight keyword lists. Real call and form tracking. Landing pages by mode and lane. Monthly video reports.

  • Campaigns split by mode and lane. No spray-and-pray.
  • Negatives that filter out driver-job searches.
  • Conversion tracking on real RFQs and inbound calls.
Built around modes and lanes

Logistics PPC needs a different filter.

Half the searches that look like shipper queries are actually drivers looking for jobs. We split keyword groups by intent, negative aggressively, and route campaigns by mode (FTL/LTL, refrigerated, drayage, warehousing) so each dollar buys you a real shipper inquiry instead of a resume.

Where logistics ad budgets leak

Five things we fix in almost every logistics audit.

These show up in nearly every logistics account we audit before we take it over.

01

Driver-job-seeker traffic burning budget.

Many logistics accounts spend half their budget on people searching for jobs, not shippers. We negative those terms aggressively on day one.

02

No filtering for shipper intent vs operator intent.

We split keyword groups and ad copy so the wrong searcher self-rejects before they click.

03

Sending B2B traffic to the homepage.

Each mode needs its own landing page with the right proof, lane info, and quote flow.

04

Conversion tracking that counts page views, not RFQs.

We track real quote requests, calls of a real duration, and inbound that becomes a shipper account.

05

Reporting nobody reads.

A 14-tab dashboard isn't a report. We send a short monthly video that walks through RFQs driven and what we changed.

What you get

A logistics Google Ads program built around shipper intent.

Everything below is included in a standard month. Nothing here is an upsell.

Campaigns split by mode and lane

Tight ad groups, intent-mapped keywords, and ad copy written for the searcher you actually want.

📢

Negative lists tuned for logistics

Heavy negatives on driver-job and load-board searches. Built up across accounts we've run.

📱

Conversion tracking on real RFQs

GA4 and Google Ads conversions tied to quote requests, qualified form fills, and inbound calls. Tested before we trust it.

Landing pages per mode

FTL, refrigerated, drayage, warehousing. Each lands on the page that fits its intent.

🔍

Call recording and inquiry quality reviews

We listen to a sample of inquiries. If ads pull spot quotes you don't want, we tighten targeting and copy.

📊

Monthly video reports

A short Loom that walks through the account. You'll know what changed and why, without parsing a dashboard.

How it works

Four steps. Nothing precious about it.

01

Audit

We look at the account, the search terms, the landing pages, and your sales process. You get a written read of what is wasting money and what is working.

02

Rebuild or launch

New campaign structure, tight keyword lists, ad copy, negatives, and tracking. Landing page recommendations or builds, depending on what you need.

03

Measure

We watch the first thirty days closely. Real conversions, real call quality, real cost per lead. Not vanity metrics.

04

Improve

Every month: cut what isn't paying, double down on what is, test new angles. You get a video report at the end of each cycle.

Honest fit

Whether Google Ads is the right move for your operation.

You're probably a fit if…

  • You sell to shippers and procurement, not just spot loads off boards.
  • You'll spend $4,000 to $10,000 a month on media to compete.
  • Your sales team responds to inbound RFQs quickly.
  • You want to win on specific modes or lanes, not all of them at once.

You're probably not a fit if…

  • You only buy capacity through brokers and don't need direct shipper inbound.
  • You want $500 a month to "test" before deciding.
  • Your team takes a week to return a quote request.
  • You want guaranteed contract wins (not how this channel works).
Common questions

Questions we get on the first call.

What's a reasonable budget for logistics Google Ads?+

Most companies need $4,000 to $10,000 a month in media to compete, plus management. Some niche modes can start lower.

How long until we see results?+

Quote requests in the first week or two. A real read on cost per signed shipper around day thirty to sixty, since B2B logistics has a longer sales cycle.

Do you require a contract?+

No. Month to month. We ask for a fair ramp-up window so we can prove the work.

What does reporting look like?+

A short monthly video plus a live dashboard. We walk through RFQs driven, cost per inquiry, and what we changed.

PPC or SEO. Which one first?+

Both, eventually. PPC turns on faster. SEO compounds. If you need shipper inbound this quarter, start with PPC.

What if Google Ads isn't right for our model?+

We'll say so. If your growth lever is broker relationships or load-board strategy, Google Ads might not be where you should spend. We'll tell you.
