Client Overview

About GUS Logistics

GUS Logistics is a Cheshire-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider offering pallet storage, order fulfilment, FSDU solutions, and UK-wide transport management. Operating in a competitive B2B market, they approached SEO Bridge seeking greater online visibility, stronger brand awareness, and a consistent flow of qualified inbound leads.

The Challenge

Where They Started

When GUS Logistics first engaged SEO Bridge, their digital presence faced several significant obstacles:

  • Minimal organic search visibility for core 3PL and logistics keywords
  • A blog with no consistent publishing schedule and low-quality, thin content
  • Google Ads campaigns running with poor targeting, wasted spend, and no conversion tracking
  • Social media accounts largely inactive, with low engagement and no defined content strategy
  • Competitors dominating local and national search results for key service terms

Our Approach

An Integrated Digital Strategy

SEO Bridge implemented a fully integrated digital marketing strategy across three core channels, tailored specifically to the logistics sector.

1

Content & Blog Management

We developed a structured content calendar focused on high-intent logistics and 3PL search terms, producing a blend of educational articles, service spotlights, and thought leadership pieces designed to rank in Google and build sector authority.

  • Comprehensive keyword research targeting 3PL, warehousing, fulfilment, and transport queries
  • Two to four SEO-optimised blog posts published every month
  • On-page optimisation of all existing website pages — meta titles, descriptions, headers, and internal linking
  • Regular content audits and updates to ensure accuracy and freshness
2

Google Ads Management

We restructured the existing Google Ads account from the ground up, replacing broad-match, untargeted campaigns with tightly themed ad groups focused on high-converting logistics terms.

  • Full account audit and rebuild with campaigns segmented by service line
  • Negative keyword lists implemented to eliminate irrelevant traffic
  • Conversion tracking configured for form submissions and phone calls
  • Ongoing A/B testing of ad copy, landing pages, and bidding strategies
  • Monthly performance reviews with transparent reporting
3

Social Media Management

We took over day-to-day management of GUS Logistics’ LinkedIn and Facebook presence, creating a consistent posting schedule and a distinctive brand voice suited to a B2B logistics audience.

  • Branded content templates aligned with the GUS Logistics visual identity
  • Three to five posts per week across LinkedIn and Facebook
  • Engagement-led content including industry news, team spotlights, and service highlights
  • Community management — responding to comments, messages, and building connections

Breaking Down the Impact

SEO & Content

Organic search traffic grew by 187% year-on-year, with GUS Logistics now ranking on page one of Google for over 40 target keywords including ‘pallet storage Cheshire’, ‘3PL fulfilment Cheshire’, and ‘FSDU logistics Cheshire’. The blog became one of the top organic traffic drivers on the site, with average time-on-page increasing from 42 seconds to over 2 minutes 30 seconds — a strong indicator of improved content relevance and quality.

Google Ads

After restructuring the Ads account, cost-per-click dropped by 38% while conversion rates improved by 91%. Return on ad spend reached 3.2× within six months, with monthly enquiry volume from paid search tripling compared to the period before SEO Bridge’s involvement. Ad spend wastage was eliminated through disciplined negative keyword management and regular optimisation cycles.

Social Media

LinkedIn and Facebook became meaningful social media channels for the first time, with follower count growing 4.8× and post engagement increasing by over 210% within the first year. Several inbound enquiries were attributed to Facebook and LinkedIn content, and the brand’s presence in logistics industry conversations increased substantially.

SEO Bridge completely transformed how we show up online. Before working with them, we were invisible on Google and our social media was non-existent. Now we’re getting regular enquiries from the website and people are finding us for exactly the services we offer. The team are proactive, transparent, and genuinely understand our industry. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
