    Location-based Targeting

    Many products are large and heavy, so it’s most efficient to focus on deliveries within a 100‑mile radius of Timberlink’s location using their own vehicles. We paired this with on‑site validation and targeted advertising to drive qualified traffic.

    100‑mile Delivery Radius

    Orders are prioritised within a 100‑mile catchment to optimise cost and service levels, fulfilled on Timberlink’s own vehicles for reliability and care with oversized items.

    Delivery Checker Popup

    First‑time visitors see a delivery area checker that confirms availability based on their location, setting expectations up‑front and improving conversion for eligible customers.

    Regional PPC Campaigns

    We run geo‑targeted PPC campaigns focused on priority regions and radius‑based audiences, aligning ad spend with the serviceable area to maximise qualified traffic and ROAS.
