Why local delivery pages had a much higher contact rate than blog articles
On one firewood supplier’s site, articles attracted 62% of traffic. Contact goals fired in 2.1% of article visits and 24.6% of visits to local delivery pages. Here’s how the pages differed.
Someone typing “buy split dry firewood with delivery in Kingisepp” has already decided to buy. They need a page that says right away: we deliver to Kingisepp, here is the price, here is the phone.
Numbers
Twelve articles attracted 4,050 visits, with a 2.1% contact rate. The home, pricing, contact and charcoal pages together recorded 709 visits at about 13%. Across 281 visits to the Kingisepp, Vyborg and Lodeynoye Pole delivery pages, the rate was 24.6%.
What belongs on a local delivery page?
- A heading with product and town.
- An opening paragraph that gives the delivery area, lead time and starting price.
- A price table by volume and wood type.
- Delivery terms for this town: distance, minimum order.
- Call and WhatsApp buttons pinned to the bottom on phones.
- A short FAQ with markup that matches the visible questions and answers.
Beyond firewood
The same approach can help field-service businesses show where they work. Exporters can answer similar questions by product and destination. At IWH, pages for specific engine brands recorded contact rates of 18–37%.
