Logistics · International parcel shipping from Singapore

The shipping company that needed to be found beyond its own name.

JustShip ships parcels from Singapore to the rest of the world. People choosing a service search for a route or a destination — “shipping from Singapore to the USA” — not for a brand they have never heard of. The site was revamped and migrated, then pointed at those route searches. Organic-search users went from 330 in July 2020 to 5,868 in November 2021 (Universal Analytics).

The situation they came with

Demand that did not include the brand name.

Shipping buyers often search for a route, destination or service before choosing a provider. JustShip needed to capture that demand beyond branded searches.

A route search is a buying moment: the person already knows what they want to send and where. If the only searches a site is found for are the ones that include its name, the category is finding someone else. The work was to make the site answer the route and destination searches, and to rebuild it without losing what it already had.

What we did

The work behind the result.

Website revamp and migration

A rebuilt site, moved with the rankings it already had in mind, so the new structure could carry one page per search that had demand.

Non-branded keyword targeting

Pages aimed at the route and destination searches people make before they know a provider’s name.

Content

Written to answer the question the search asks, so a visitor who arrived from a route search found the route.

Link work

Authority for a smaller site competing with established carriers on generic searches.

The order and the month of each step are not shown here; the measurement windows are stated with each number below.

What changed

The same Universal Analytics report shows organic-search sessions from 548 to 8,222 (+1,400.36%) and new organic-search users from 311 to 5,592 (+1,698.07%) across the same two months (1–30 November 2021 vs 1–31 July 2020) — almost all of the growth is people who had never been to the site before, which is what non-branded search is for.

How to read these numbers

These are historical monthly user totals across different seasons and years, not a controlled test. The displayed Payment Summary goal records zero completions and value in both periods; this screenshot cannot prove paid shipments or revenue.

If this sounds like your business

Four signs this case is about your problem.

  • Your category is searched by route, product, destination or problem, and your site mostly ranks for your own name.
  • You need to rebuild or migrate the site and you are worried about losing the rankings you have.
  • Larger competitors own the generic searches and you have no obvious way in.
  • You can measure visits but not yet orders or enquiries from search.

If two of those are true, this case is about your problem.

How an engagement like this runs

Four phases, no prices, no promises.

01 · Diagnose

First weeks

Read access to Analytics and Search Console; a baseline month written down; the checks listed below, run on your site.

02 · Fix

Before anything moves

The migration plan and redirect map before anything moves; the measurement of the actions that matter (an order, an enquiry), so the next reading is not just visits.

03 · Build

One page per search

One page per search that has demand, written to answer it, linked from the pages buyers land on.

04 · Measure

Every month

The same channel report each month, with the starting month beside it.

Accounts stay in your name; we take least-privilege access; personal data is kept to a minimum; payment is monthly; the contract assigns the work to you. On your side: someone who knows the service well enough to check the content, and whoever can deploy the site.

No ranking is promised and no revenue figure is forecast. The commitment is that every number we report can be checked in your own tools.

What we would check first on your site

Four questions you can answer today.

Four checks, written for your own site
  1. 01What share of your organic visits comes from searches that include your brand name? If it is most of them, the category is finding someone else.
  2. 02For your ten most valuable routes, products or destinations, does a page exist, and does it rank anywhere in the first two pages?
  3. 03If you redesigned tomorrow, is there a list of every URL that brings visits and where each would redirect?
  4. 04Can you see, in your own analytics, which pages lead to an order or enquiry — or only which pages get visits?

Start with a snapshot of how Google and AI engines answer your buyers’ questions about you — within a day, with the evidence, at no charge to begin.
