What it is

Shippers do not visit your website to be impressed. They visit to check that you are real.

A principal, Kaelo Global digital marketing

Many freight websites are built to impress, but shippers rarely visit them to be impressed. They visit to answer a few questions quickly: do you cover my lane, are you legitimate and insured, and how do I reach a person for a quote. Sites that answer those questions on the first screen often do better than far more expensive sites that open with a stock photograph of a container port at sunset.

We build and improve freight forwarder websites around those questions, with tracking in place from the start so you can see which lanes and sources your enquiries come from. Each site is set up so your own team can make everyday changes without waiting for an agency.

What's included

Six areas of scope
01

Lane and service coverage, stated plainly

This is the thing shippers look for most, and it is often buried. If a shipper cannot see within one screen that you handle their trade, they usually leave, so we put your coverage first.

02

Credibility where shippers look for it

Licences, accreditations, association memberships, insurance and years of trading. In a trade with real counterparty risk these details help a shipper decide whether to trust you, so they belong where shippers expect to find them.

03

A quote path that reaches a person

Freight quoting is a conversation. An instant quote tool that cannot handle the real shipment tends to lose more enquiries than it captures, so we build a short form that reaches the right person on your desk.

04

Measurement from the first build

The site records the lane and source of each enquiry from the first day. Adding this later is always more expensive and less accurate.

05

Pages for each lane and service

Separate pages for your main lanes, modes and services give shippers the detail they need and help search engines match you to specific searches.

06

Easy for your team to update

Your team can add a lane, change a contact or post an update without technical help, so the site stays accurate as the business changes.

How the work runs

STEP 01

Structuring around the shipper's questions

We plan the pages around coverage, credibility and contact, in that order.

STEP 02

Building with measurement in place

Tracking and enquiry forms are designed into the site from the start, instead of being added afterwards.

STEP 03

Writing the lane pages

We draft the content for your main lanes and services, and your operations team checks every technical detail before it goes live.

STEP 04

Hand-over

We hand over a site your team can maintain while running an operation, with a short guide to the most common changes.

When to come to us

  1. 01Your website cannot answer a lane question without a phone call.
  2. 02You cannot tell which lanes your enquiries come from.
  3. 03Every small change to the site needs your agency.
  4. 04Your website looks polished but brings in very few enquiries.

What we do not do

  • Instant quote tools for trades that genuinely need a conversation.
  • Publishing rates or transit commitments on your behalf.
  • Using stock photography of ports and ships in place of real information about your service.

The first screen

Answer the shipper's questions before anything else.

Lane coverage, licences and a clear way to reach a person should all be visible without scrolling. Everything else on the site is there to support those answers.

The rule we build freight websites around

Common questions

Should we publish rates?
In forwarding, usually not. There are too many variables for a published rate to be accurate, and it invites price shopping on your least profitable work. Published rates make more sense for parcel and defined last-mile services, where the product is standardised.
Do we need an instant quote tool?
Only if your service is standard enough for an instant quote to be accurate. Otherwise it creates enquiries your desk has to quote again, which can be worse than having no tool at all.
Can you improve our current website instead of building a new one?
Often, yes. If the platform is sound, we can restructure the key pages, add lane content and set up tracking without starting again from scratch.
How long does a new freight website take?
It depends on the number of lanes and services, and on how quickly your team can review the content. We give you a timeline in writing once we understand the scope.
