Key metrics

  • Impressions: 167,000
  • Clicks: 318
  • CTR: 0.19%
  • Average position: 14.9
  • Google Business Profile interactions: 137
  • Google Business Profile website clicks: 41

What it means

Impressions are high and the average position sits around 15, but the keyword mix tells a more nuanced story. Core terms like “cold chain 3pl,” “cold chain logistics company,” and “cold storage 3pl” are already ranking in positions 1–3, which is driving visibility. The gap is in the next tier of keywords like “temperature controlled warehousing” (~11), “frozen food logistics” (~11), and “kitting services” (~10), which sit right on the edge of page one. That’s where the real opportunity is. These are high-intent, non-branded terms with meaningful volume, and pushing them into positions 5–8 will have a direct impact on clicks without needing more impressions.

Keyword patterns

Clicks continue to be driven by a small cluster of core service and branded searches. “cold chain 3pl” remains the primary driver, supported by closely related variations like “coldchain3pl” and other core cold chain terms already ranking in positions 1–3.

Although the site appears across thousands of queries, traffic is still concentrated among a limited group of top-performing keywords. The next layer includes terms like “temperature controlled warehousing” (~11), “kitting services” (~10), and “frozen food logistics” (~11), which are generating visibility but very few clicks due to their position just off page one.

Click activity is also concentrated on a small number of pages, with the homepage and primary service pages capturing the majority of traffic, while most other pages contribute minimally. This reinforces that growth will come from expanding visibility and improving rankings across mid-tier keywords rather than relying on the current top performers.

What we recommend

  • Prioritize pages targeting “kitting services” to secure higher search rankings
  • Strengthen internal linking and on-page depth for keywords currently ranking in positions 10–20
  • Refine title tags on near–page-one keywords to improve CTR once rankings move up
  • Create supporting content around cold chain logistics subtopics to reinforce authority for these terms

How we’ll measure improvement

Progress will come from turning existing visibility into traffic and getting more keywords onto page one.

  • Increase in CTR on high-impression queries
  • Average position improving from page two to page one
  • Growth in clicks without requiring large increases in impressions
