U.S. searches per month for truckload freight

DataForSEO estimated a $14.93 CPC. Full truckload shipping added 590 monthly searches at an estimated $38.89 CPC, so sales economics must set the bid ceiling.

FTL traffic only works when the lane, equipment and buying window line up.

A single generic freight page cannot explain every capacity profile. The V1 page states the service clearly, asks for the load details needed to qualify it and gives the sales team keyword-level call context.

Based on a review of 18 competing agency websites in August 2026. Figures cover only what those agencies publish themselves: 8 of the 18 publish no price at all, and 11 publish no contract term, so nothing here should be read as a claim about any one competitor.

Questions before a test

Straight answers, before any media spend.

Should FTL and full truckload be separate landing pages?

Not at this budget. One page can use both phrases naturally, while separate marketing and lead-generation ad groups keep the query intent organized.

Does a high CPC make FTL Google Ads unprofitable?

Not automatically. The decision depends on connected-call rate, quote rate, close rate, gross profit and repeat shipment value. The scan models those inputs before launch.

What should an FTL landing page include?

It should state equipment, service area and operating fit, then ask for origin, destination, commodity, weight, timing and contact details.

What does it cost?

Google Ads management starts at $495 per month. A website build starts at $2,000, with ongoing management at $200 per month.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Everything is month to month, with no contract and no minimum term.

How do I reach a person before committing to anything?

Email kyle@unboundlogistics.com. The free search scan and the 20-minute review both cost nothing.
