How Freight and Courier Companies Can Win More Quote Requests Online

Many logistics companies still rely on referrals and sales calls. But when a business needs a new route, a warehouse or a faster courier, it usually starts with a search. Companies that are easy to find, easy to understand and easy to contact win those enquiries.

Create pages for routes and services

A page for each important route, service and city — for example sea freight from one country to another — matches how shippers search and shows exactly what you offer.

Make requesting a quote simple

A short form asking for origin, destination, cargo type, weight or volume and timing gives your team what it needs to reply quickly with an accurate price.

Show reliability

Display licences, memberships, insurance, coverage maps and photos of your fleet and warehouses. Explain how tracking and customer updates work.

Reach decision-makers on LinkedIn

Targeted posts and campaigns can reach importers, exporters and supply chain managers in the industries and countries you serve.

Follow up fast

Shippers often request several quotes. A fast, clear reply — with a named contact — often wins the job.
