Service · Inbound

Inbound marketing for logistics.

Content strategy, long-form articles, lead-gen tools, and trade-lane guides designed to attract qualified prospects through organic search. Every asset is built around real buyer-intent keywords specific to your verticals.

Container vessel and crane operations

Our approach to inbound.

We build content programs around real buyer-intent search queries — the specific operational questions buyers ask before they reach out to vendors. Our keyword research starts with your trade lanes, modes, and HTS codes, not generic logistics topics.

The inbound stack. Five layers that compound.

Pillar pages

High-intent terms: "freight forwarder for [lane]," "3PL for [vertical]," "customs broker for [HTS code]." These are the keywords your buyer types when they're shopping.

Comparison content

"ISF vs ACE filing." "FCL vs LCL break-even." "Forwarder vs NVOCC." Buyers Google these when comparing options. We own the answer.

Tools + calculators

Demurrage calculators, lane checkers, HTS classifiers. Yes, we build them — see our Trade Inquiry tool. Tools rank for thousands of long-tail terms a blog can't.

Lane-specific guides

"Shipping reefer break-bulk from Long Beach to Rotterdam." Nobody else writes these. Search volume is low — intent is brutal.

Glossary content

Boring, but ranks. Procurement managers Google "what is BAF" before their first call. We're there. You're the one with the answer.

Conversion-optimized landing pages

Every blog post has a call-to-action. Every tool drops the user into a lead form. Content isn't decoration — it's the funnel.

What's included.

12 long-form articles per quarter. 1 lead-gen tool per year. Internal linking architecture rebuilt. On-page SEO across the existing site. Conversion-optimized landing pages for your top 3 lanes or HTS codes.

Expect 6-12 months to dominate the SERP for niche terms. Year 2 is when compounding kicks in.

How long until content ranks?

Niche long-tail (lane + HTS specific): 8-16 weeks. Medium-competition: 4-8 months. Head terms ("freight forwarder"): not our game, that's a Google Ads fight.

Do you write the content yourselves?

We write the briefs and edit the drafts. The first draft is done by a vetted freight-industry writer we've worked with for years.

What's your stance on AI-generated content?

We use AI for research and outlines. We don't use AI for the final draft. Google detects it and you tank.

Will you build us tools like Trade Inquiry?

One productized tool included per annual engagement. Additional tools at fixed scope.

Do you handle technical SEO too?

For inbound clients, yes — covered. If you need deeper technical SEO (Core Web Vitals, schema, log-file analysis), see our SEO service page.
