From cd535ac190549c624d7ebffe048dc1123654661d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shiv Thakker Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 13:36:35 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add Detrack comparison + optimize Onfleet for "[X] alternative" (SEO) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Targets high-intent, KD-0 competitor-alternative keywords. (Onro/Shipday were checked and dropped — no measurable search demand.) New page — /compare/vs-detrack ("detrack alternative", ~60/mo, KD ~0): - Full feature + pricing comparison, fair to Detrack's tracking/e-POD strengths, differentiated on open source, self-hosting, no per-vehicle fees, and full-platform breadth. - FAQPage + SoftwareApplication schema; keyword in title + badge. - Wired into the /compare hub, sitemap, and footer. Optimized /compare/vs-onfleet ("onfleet alternative(s)", ~240/mo, KD 0, $8-15 CPC — the highest-intent traffic in this project): - Added an FAQ section + FAQPage schema (page had none). - Surfaced the keyword in the hero badge ("Open-Source Onfleet Alternative"). Both: switched the page title to an absolute title so the brand isn't duplicated by the layout's "| Fleetbase" template. Verified locally: both render 200, correct H1/badges, clean single-brand titles, and FAQPage + SoftwareApplication JSON-LD present; hub, sitemap, and footer wiring confirmed.

+ Fleetbase vs Detrack +

+

+ Detrack is a capable delivery tracking and proof-of-delivery tool — but it’s closed-source, cloud-only, and priced per vehicle. Fleetbase is the open-source alternative that runs your entire delivery operation, self-hosted or cloud, with no per-vehicle fees. +
