What makes a good Google ad for a logistics company?

A good logistics ad names the service and lane, the equipment or capability, a proof point such as tracking or transit time, and a fast next step. Google's responsive search ads allow 15 headlines of 30 characters and 4 descriptions of 90. Weak ads say "reliable freight solutions" and attract drivers looking for work.

Why the second ad wins: The weak ad could belong to any company and promises nothing checkable. The strong ad names the services, region and a fast next step.

What does a good reefer ad look like?

A good reefer ad names the freight, the temperature control and the lane.

How should logistics ads connect to landing pages?

Each ad should lead to a page about the same service and lane, with the same proof and next step. An ad promising a quote in under an hour should land on a short quote form with that promise repeated. Pages are covered on ad landing pages, keywords on Google Ads keywords, setup on Google Ads for logistics, messaging on lane and vertical positioning, quoting on quoting and automation and border services on cross-border marketing.

ShoutEx rule

The ad is a promise the quote desk must keep.

Make sure dispatch knows what the ads promise.
