Logistics marketing

Logistics marketing is unusually easy to let go stale, because the operational side of the business moves fast while the website and listings quietly fall behind. This checklist covers the areas worth reviewing at least once a quarter, not just at launch.

Website and lane pages

  • Every active lane has its own page with current transit times.
  • Discontinued lanes are removed or clearly marked, not left live with outdated information.
  • Quote forms route to a named person and get a same-day reply.
  • Certifications shown on the site match what is actually current.

Search and paid presence

  • Google Search Console reviewed monthly for new queries bringing impressions.
  • Google Ads negative keyword list updated from the latest search terms report.
  • GeM and marketplace profiles (IndiaMART, TradeIndia) match the website's current lanes and services.

A rate sheet or lane page that still shows last year's transit time costs credibility the moment a shipper checks it against reality.

Reviews, listings and social

  • Google Business Profile categories and service areas are accurate.
  • At least one LinkedIn update in the past month naming a real lane, client type or milestone.
  • Recent reviews responded to, and any operational issue raised in a review actually addressed internally.

Reporting

A one-page monthly view of enquiries by lane and source, reviewed by whoever owns sales, not left in an analytics dashboard nobody opens.

The takeaway

Work through this list once a quarter — logistics marketing decays fastest where lanes, rates and certifications change and nobody updates the page.
