The first month
How we start
Leading indicator to watch
Share of spend on shipper and operations buyer searches, and qualified opportunities.
How the program runs
Management starts with a two-week audit of structure, search terms and conversion tracking. Weekly reviews then clean search terms and move budget by sales outcomes, and campaigns move to value-based bidding once the CRM sends enough qualified conversions back to Google. The full Google Ads service page lists every deliverable.

- Logistics and transportation managers
- Finance and procurement

Buyers compare on price and service
Differentiation is hard when buyers see similar offers and short lists.
Regional and lane complexity
Demand varies by region, lane and mode, so broad targeting wastes spend.
Quote and call tracking gaps
Many leads arrive by phone or quote form and never reach the CRM with a source.
