How we ranked these agencies

We screened 14 firms that market to transportation and logistics companies. A firm made the shortlist only if it (a) publishes a named transportation, freight or rental case study with numbers. It also needed (b) independent client reviews. It also needed (c) a Clutch rating of 4.5 or higher.

We left out agencies whose own page ranks in the US top 10 for logistics SEO agency searches. Each shortlisted agency was then scored on six criteria that sum to 100%.

• Verifiable transportation results 25% · case studies with quote requests, calls, traffic or rankings for carriers, brokers, 3PLs and rental firms
• Independent reviews 20% · Clutch rating weighted by review volume
• Lead and local depth 20% · quote forms, call tracking, service-area, lane and terminal pages, Google Business Profile
• AI search capability 15% · a named AI search service and a way to measure it
• Notable transportation clients 10% · named carriers, brokers and rental brands
• Transparency and terms 10% · published pricing and minimum term

The 5-Prompt AI Visibility Test

Before you hire, check where your company appears in AI answers. Run these in ChatGPT, Perplexity and a Google search that shows an AI Overview:

1. “Best [FTL, LTL or reefer] carriers from [origin] to [destination]”
2. “Top 3PL companies in [city or state]”
3. “[Your company] vs [competitor]”
4. “Freight broker for [cargo type, such as hazmat or oversized]”
5. “How much does it cost to ship a [load type] from [origin] to [destination]?”

If competitors appear and you do not, ask each agency how it would change that, and how it would prove the change.

Red flags when choosing

• Reports rankings and traffic, but never quote requests, calls or driver applications.
• No named transportation, freight or rental case study with numbers.
• Does not know the difference between a carrier, a broker and a 3PL.
• Builds one generic services page instead of lane, cargo-type and terminal pages.
• Ignores your Google Business Profile and reviews for each terminal.
• Long lock-in contracts before any results.
