How to Stand Out on Racklify: A Complete Guide to Optimizing Your Warehouse Profile

How to Stand Out on Racklify: A Complete Guide to Optimizing Your Warehouse Profile

Your Racklify profile is often the very first impression a merchant gets of your 3PL. A strong, complete, and visually compelling profile doesn’t just look professional—it helps you show up in more searches, attract more views, and clearly communicate what makes your facility a great fit.

Here’s how to make your Racklify profile stand out.

1. Add High-Quality Photos That Showcase Your Facility

Photos are one of the biggest factors in how your profile performs. Merchants want to see inside your operation before they ever reach out.

What to include:

• Exterior shots, signage, dock doors

• Racking, storage, pick/pack areas

• Equipment and automation

• Clean, well-lit operational spaces

Profiles with strong visuals consistently receive more clicks and stronger engagement.

2. Fully List Every Capability and Service You Offer

Racklify’s search filters rely heavily on the capabilities you choose. If a service isn’t listed, you simply won’t appear in relevant searches.

Make sure to mark everything you offer, including:

• Fulfillment types (DTC, B2B, retail, subscription boxes, FBA prep)

• Value-added services (kitting, bundling, labeling, rework)

• Special handling (hazmat, GOH apparel, temperature-controlled, oversized)

• Certifications (FDA, Organic, CTPAT, ISO, SOC2)

• Integrations (Shopify, BigCommerce, Amazon, NetSuite, ShipStation, WMS)

The more complete your capability list is, the more opportunities you unlock.

3. Import Reviews & Encourage New Ones on Racklify

Reviews are one of the fastest ways to build trust with merchants.

Maximize your social proof:

• Import your Google reviews

• Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews directly on Racklify

• Keep them fresh by periodically inviting new partners

• Add optional testimonial screenshots in your gallery

Profiles with strong reviews outperform those without them—every time.

4. Write a Clear, Differentiated Company Description

Your company description is your chance to stand out—not blend in. Many 3PLs use vague, generic language (“full-service,” “end-to-end,” “we handle anything”) that doesn’t help merchants understand why they should choose you.

A strong description clearly communicates what makes you different. Focus on:

• Your true specialties (DTC beauty, oversized B2B freight, subscription boxes, apparel GOH, etc.)

• Industries where you have proven experience

• Your tech stack and how it benefits brands (automation, real-time tracking, specific WMS integrations)

• Certifications or compliance strengths

• Unique operational advantages (location efficiency, multi-node network, climate-controlled storage, accuracy rates, speed metrics)

The key is to be specific, authentic, and focused. Avoid trying to be everything to everyone—show merchants exactly where you shine.

5. Keep Contact & Business Information Accurate and Complete

Merchants rely on Racklify for fast decision-making. Incomplete or outdated contact information slows everything down and can make a profile feel inactive.

Use your profile to make it effortless for merchants to reach you.

Keep the following updated:

• Website link

• Company email

• Phone number

• Book-a-meeting or scheduling link (Calendly, HubSpot, etc.)

• Primary contact person (Racklify’s permissions feature lets you choose who appears on the profile)

• Facility address and operating hours

Complete, accurate contact details signal responsiveness, professionalism, and operational readiness.

6. Highlight Your Integrations and Technology

Many merchants choose a warehouse based on integrations alone.

Make sure your profile lists:

• WMS platform

• EDI capabilities

• Real-time tracking

• Carrier integrations

• Automation or robotics

This helps merchants quickly filter for technical compatibility.

7. Use the Document Upload Feature to Showcase One-Pagers, Case Studies & Service Materials

Racklify profiles are intentionally clean and easy to scan—but the document upload section gives you room to show depth and expertise.

Upload materials that demonstrate your strengths:

• One-pagers outlining your services and operational advantages

• Case studies highlighting measurable results

• Service menus or capability sheets

• Certifications and compliance documents (FDA, CTPAT, ISO, SOC2, etc.)

• Testimonial sheets or curated reviews

• Facility maps or process diagrams

These documents help merchants understand your operation in a polished, professional format—without cluttering your profile.

8. Use Racklify Advertising & Media Placement to Boost Visibility

Once your profile is strong, advertising gives it significantly more exposure. Racklify offers two powerful options:
