Google Business Profile Services for Transport Companies
From £550 +VAT per month
For transport, logistics, and fleet operators, being visible locally on Google Search & Maps is mission-critical. When a business or individual searches for “haulage near me”, “fleet transport services [town]”, or “minibus hire in my area,” your GBP listing often becomes the first (and sometimes only) point of contact. But an unoptimised or poorly managed listing can send prospects elsewhere.
At Daily Bread Consultancy, we offer specialist Google Business Profile management tailored for transport and logistics companies. We know how to optimise for local routes, service areas, fleet types, and the logistics buyer journey. The result: more calls, more leads, more contracts.
Why GBP Matters in Transport / Logistics
-
Priority real estate on search & maps — Your business appears in the “Local Pack” / map carousel, often ahead of organic results.
-
“Near me” / Local intent dominance — Many transport customers (small businesses, deliveries, logistics) search nearby providers.
-
Service-area model — Many transport firms don’t have a retail shop front; they serve zones or routes. GBP supports service-area settings.
-
Trust & legitimacy — Reviews, photos, service attributes all help build trust, especially for cargo, fleet, or passenger transport.
-
Lead funnel shortcut — People can call, request a quote, or visit your website directly from your GBP listing, bypassing friction.

What Our GBP Management for Transport Includes
-
Full profile setup / audit
We audit your existing listing (if any), correct inconsistencies, and (if needed) build it from scratch with proper categories, business name, address settings, and service-area definition. -
Keyword-optimised descriptions & attributes
We write your business description, services, and attributes using transport-specific terms (e.g. “fleet haulage,” “local delivery,” “minibus hire,” “freight forwarding”) and relevant keywords. -
Service area & route mapping
We configure your service area (e.g. supply the zones, towns, postcodes you serve) so Google shows your listing in relevant locations even if you don’t have a physical storefront there. -
Photos & vehicle showcase
Upload high-quality images: your fleet, vehicles in action, drivers, interiors, loading/unloading, depot, etc. We keep the gallery fresh with new images over time. -
Posts, offers & updates
We create GBP posts (weekly/monthly) featuring offers (e.g. “10% off first move”), service announcements (new routes or coverage areas), project highlights, or customer success stories. -
Review management & response
We help you solicit, monitor, and respond to reviews. For transport companies, reviews often highlight timeliness, safety, condition, reliability—so we guide the framing of reviews and responses. -
Insights & analytics tracking
We monitor Google’s GBP insights (search queries, views, call clicks, direction requests), tie them into your web analytics, and report on lead performance. We also use UTM + call tracking to attribute true leads back to GBP. -
Ongoing optimisation & A/B testing
We don’t just “set and forget.” We regularly test different headings, attribute configurations, business descriptions, image orders, post formats, and monitor how those affect clicks, calls, and direction requests.

Transport GBP Benchmarks & Expectations
-
Clicks to website / “visit website” — Many GBP profiles achieve 10–30% clickthroughs relative to views, depending on sector and search volume.
-
Clicks to call / direction requests — For mobile searches especially, 20–40% of interactions may be phone calls or “get directions” actions.
-
Leads & quotes — Depending on region and competitiveness, you might see 5–15 qualified calls / quote requests per month from a well-optimised listing.
-
Return on investment — The cost of managing GBP is often small compared to the contracted value of even one haulage or logistics job secured via the listing.

Platinum Transport Solutions – Case Study
For several months, we’ve partnered with Platinum Transport Solutions, offering Web Development, Google Business Profile (GBP) Management, and SEO services to enhance their online presence. Initially, their site wasn’t mobile-friendly, and their content wasn’t driving results. Starting in April, we revamped their website, improving design, content, and functionality, aligning with their budget and timeline. After launching in June, we optimised their GBP, focusing on reviews and local SEO.
As London and the UK’s premier moffett delivery provider, Platinum Transport Solutions wanted to increase organic inquiries and boost rankings. Before our efforts, they ranked poorly for key terms like “Moffett delivery.” However, by September, their ranking had skyrocketed, averaging 2.11 across a broad geographical area (576 square miles – see the gif below). This success is largely thanks to improving their GBP, with 44% of local searches leading to Google Map Pack clicks, making it crucial for businesses to rank high.
People underestimate the power of Google Business Profile, with less than 50% of businesses using it and even fewer using it well.
If you’re looking to dominate your local area and boost inquiries, get in touch to see how we can help you achieve similar results.

GBP Services for Transport FAQs
Do transport companies really need GBP management?
Yes — most logistics or fleet clients begin by looking for “transport providers near me,” “haulage services [town],” or route-based providers in Maps. Without a strong GBP, you’ll miss those leads.
What if I don’t have a public storefront / office?
No problem — GBP allows you to hide your address and operate as a service-area business. We help you configure that correctly and ensure Google recognises your coverage zones.
How many service areas can I have?
You can define a polygon, multiple towns or postcodes; we help you set it up in a way that maximises exposure without breaching Google’s guidelines.
Will you manage Google Ads along with GBP?
Yes — we can integrate GBP efforts with your paid campaigns (for ad extensions, location targeting) so that your Google presence is cohesive across paid and free channels.
