The verdict in three sentences
For a cold chain provider, the website has to qualify prospects before the first call: pallet capacity, temperature ranges (chilled, frozen, deep frozen), certifications and delivery coverage. In Miami in 2026, a bilingual English and Spanish B2B site costs 25,000 to 60,000 USD, and a storage needs calculator adds 4,000 to 10,000 USD. Since one industrial client is worth 15,000 to 80,000 USD in annual revenue, two signed leads a year cover the project.
What each component costs in 2026
The amounts below are 2026 estimates from Miami B2B agencies, with Paris (Rungis) figures for comparison. They vary with the number of facilities and the depth of WMS integration.
| Component | Miami (USD) | Paris, Rungis (EUR excl. VAT) |
|---|---|---|
| B2B corporate site, 10 to 15 pages | 15,000 - 35,000 | 8,000 - 18,000 |
| Storage needs calculator (pallets, turnover, temperature, duration) | 4,000 - 10,000 | 2,000 - 5,000 |
| Pages per vertical (dairy, meat, seafood, frozen, pharma) | 3,000 - 7,000 | 1,500 - 4,000 |
| Second language (Spanish in Miami, English in Paris) | 3,000 - 8,000 | 1,500 - 3,500 |
| CRM integration (HubSpot, Salesforce) | 2,000 - 5,000 | 1,000 - 3,000 |
| Monthly B2B SEO (market rate, specialized agencies) | 1,500 - 4,000 per month | 800 - 1,500 per month |
| Maintenance and hosting | 150 - 500 per month | 80 - 250 per month |
The overall timeline is 8 to 10 weeks. Plan photos and video of cold rooms and docks early: they are usually what is missing at launch.
What shippers want to check
A supply chain manager compares three to five providers before requesting a quote. Your site should answer their shortlist criteria in minutes.
| Criterion | What to show | Impact on qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | Pallet positions per temperature zone | Filters out prospects too big or too small |
| Temperature control | Exact ranges (34 to 39 °F, 0 °F, -10 °F) and mixed zones | Pass or fail criterion |
| Certifications | FDA registration, FSMA compliance, SQF or BRCGS, GDP for pharma | Required by retailers and pharma |
| Traceability | Temperature logging, client WMS access | Reassures quality teams and auditors |
| Transportation | Reefer fleet, Florida and Latin America lanes | Complete offer |
| Value-added services | Pick and pack, cross-docking, labeling | Raises account value |
| Location | Proximity to Port of Miami, MIA cargo, I-95 and Florida Turnpike | Key differentiator |
The calculator is central: by asking for pallets, turnover frequency and temperature, it produces an estimate and hands the sales rep a lead that is already qualified, with volumes attached.
Generating B2B leads in 2026
Buyer searches are specific: "cold storage Miami", "frozen warehouse Doral", "pharma cold chain Florida". One page per vertical and per service, with concrete figures, ranks better than a generic home page. In Miami, Spanish pages capture importers from Latin America. Add a use case page per vertical (without naming clients without consent), a short 5-field form and a visible direct phone line. For monthly follow-up, Kolonell SEO plans range from about 150 to 530 EUR per month (Essential, Growth, Premium), details on the SEO page.

Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.
Thomas, sales director of a 12,000-pallet cold storage facility at Rungis near Paris, receives 8 inquiries per month, half of them off target. After a rebuild with a calculator for 16,000 EUR and monthly SEO at 1,000 EUR, he targets 14 inquiries per month with 70% qualified, about 10 useful leads instead of 4. With a 5% close rate on qualified leads, that is about 3.6 more clients per year. At 35,000 EUR annual revenue per client and a 12% margin, extra margin reaches about 15,000 EUR in year one, for 28,000 EUR invested. The project turns profitable in year two, since clients typically stay several years. A Miami operator with a 45,000 USD site follows the same curve with higher contract values.
FAQ
