Agree the work, price and timeline with your partner, then measure the enquiries that fit your business.
Get found and win work
Courier work is won on reliability and word of mouth more than flashy advertising. Businesses choose a courier through referrals, a quick Google search, and increasingly through logistics platforms and last-mile partnerships. Once they trust you to turn up and deliver on time, they stick.
The channels that work are a simple professional website with your service area and contact details, a strong Google Business Profile with reviews, and direct relationships with local businesses, warehouses and online sellers who need regular runs. Reliability is your real marketing.
Choosing a starting point
For couriers, consider the journey of a local customer checking whether you handle their request. Make it easy to check a clear service list, current contact details and examples of your work and request help. Choose the channel around that journey, then measure a qualified call or service enquiry.
Customers cannot understand your services or complete an enquiry on your current site.
Check before committing: Mobile enquiry delivery, content responsibilities, domain access and the handover.
Relevant customers search for your services, but your useful service pages are hard to find.
Check before committing: Search intent, an initial visibility baseline and qualified enquiries over time.
You want to test demand for a defined service and can fund and respond to a limited campaign.
Check before committing: Spending limits, search-term exclusions, landing pages and conversion quality.
Your identity is inconsistent or unreadable across the places customers see your business.
Check before committing: Real-size applications, revision limits, file formats and usage rights.
Ask for setup and ongoing fees separately, including advertising spend, hosting and software licences. Keep access to your domain, analytics and advertising accounts. Agree approval stages, reporting, cancellation terms and what is handed over when the work ends.

Common questions
Mostly through referrals, local search and direct contact with businesses that need regular deliveries. A clear website, good Google reviews and a reputation for being on time do more than paid ads in this trade.
Platforms can fill gaps and keep the van busy, but they take a cut and own the customer. Building your own direct clients alongside any platform work gives you better margins and a more stable income over time.
No. Start with the customer problem: a confusing website, weak visibility for relevant searches, a paid-demand test or inconsistent branding. Fix the main bottleneck first and add another channel when you can measure its contribution and respond to the extra enquiries.
Ask for a breakdown of setup, ongoing work, advertising spend, hosting and software subscriptions. Document deliverables, revision limits, reporting, account ownership and exit terms. A free introduction does not mean the provider’s work is free or has no contract.
For this business type, start with a qualified call or service enquiry. Record whether the request fits your services, what it cost to acquire and what happened next. Traffic, rankings and clicks are supporting measures rather than proof of revenue.
