Founded in 1971, Stockwell International is one of Australia’s largest privately owned freight forwarding companies, providing global logistics services by air, sea, rail, and road. With offices in Australia, New Zealand, and now the United States, they help companies move freight efficiently while delivering personalized service. Their goal: combine decades of experience with a strong global presence to support their clients’ supply chains worldwide.
WebFX Approach
Optimizing for U.S.-Based Search Terms to Improve Visibility
As an Australian company, Stockwell needed to rank for competitive U.S.-based search terms in order to connect with American businesses and reestablish a presence in the market.
WebFX created a custom SEO strategy that began with identifying high-value keywords specific to the U.S. freight and logistics space. We optimized key landing pages with localized terms to ensure Stockwell’s offerings appeared in front of U.S. searchers. These optimizations improved search relevance and visibility in the right geographic market, laying the foundation for Stockwell’s growth in the U.S.
“WebFX’s services have impacted our core business by assisting with the brand awareness and re-establishment of our business back in the U.S.”

Enhancing Technical SEO to Support a Seamless User Experience
Stockwell’s website required technical improvements to compete effectively in U.S. search results and deliver a smooth experience to new site visitors.
Our team conducted a technical SEO audit to identify and resolve issues that affected user experience and site performance. We implemented updates that improved crawlability, page speed, and indexing to ensure the site functioned optimally for both users and search engines. These improvements helped support the effectiveness of on-page SEO changes and contributed to increased organic traffic and engagement.
“The in-house, purpose-built tools WebFX have available are beyond anything we have available in Australia. The ability to compile crucial information to use to target and create sales leads/opportunities is incredible.”

Creating Industry-Specific Content to Build Credibility and Rankings
To build authority in the logistics industry and attract qualified traffic, Stockwell needed content that reflected their expertise and aligned with what U.S.-based customers were searching for.
WebFX delivered custom content crafted by logistics-focused copywriters. This included optimized pages and informational content designed to target specific search intents within freight forwarding and international shipping. The content not only supported keyword rankings but also demonstrated Stockwell’s knowledge of the industry, helping establish trust with new U.S. audiences.
“WebFX has greatly impacted and improved our brand identity and awareness in the U.S.”
