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.

Broad LTL traffic can burn budget on rate checks that never become good freight.

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.

What the 30-day pilot controls

01

Shipment-level message match

Use LTL and less-than-truckload language in the keyword, ad, H1 and quote fields.

02

Quote-intent prioritization

Separate general research from searches that indicate an active shipment.

03

Qualified-call review

Measure whether calls contain a serviceable shipment, not simply whether the phone rang.

Good fit

Built for freight that can be quoted now.

  • +Regional or national LTL carriers
  • +Freight brokers with an LTL offer
  • +Teams with clear service areas and shipment minimums
  • +Companies able to quote inbound LTL demand

Deliberate exclusions

Traffic the pilot is designed to reject.

  • -Parcel tracking
  • -Freight-class calculators without buying intent
  • -LTL driver jobs
  • -Guaranteed quote counts

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.

Why do LTL quote clicks cost more than general LTL company searches?

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.

Should LTL and less than truckload be separate pages?

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.

What should the page ask a shipper?

At minimum: origin, destination, pallet count, freight class, dimensions, weight, accessorial needs and timing.

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.
