U.S. searches per month for LTL trucking company
DataForSEO estimated an $8.30 CPC. LTL freight quote was estimated at 2,400 monthly searches and $27.34 CPC, showing why qualification and conversion rate matter.
The ad group and page should distinguish carrier or broker fit, service area, freight class, minimums and the next quote step. The search-term report must remove tracking, calculators, jobs, training and consumer parcel intent.

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
Quote language signals an active shipment and is therefore more commercially valuable. A higher CPC can still work when qualification, close rate and shipment value support it.
Not for this V1. The terms describe the same service and the budget is small. One page uses both phrases naturally while separate ad groups preserve lead versus marketing intent.
At minimum: origin, destination, pallet count, freight class, dimensions, weight, accessorial needs and timing.
Google Ads management starts at $495 per month. A website build starts at $2,000, with ongoing management at $200 per month.
