Self Storage Tip - 💡 💰 🤑

Your online location is just as important as your offline location

You check your gates, your shutters, the road into your facility etc etc in your online location.

You even sweep and clean the facility … your constantly making sure it’s clean tidy and optimised

HOWEVER … BOMB INCOMING … 💣

Do you put as much focus in to your online location?

You need to be putting the same effort in to your website

Checking the customer journey … how can you improve it

Checking the seo

Checking the ppc campaign

Checking the photos the videos

You need to be putting the same effort into your online as you do the offline

I heard this on AJ Osbournes podcast and just added a word or two

Please remember most of your customers first impressions and the first time they interact with you will come from your online presence, wether that be your Seo listing, your google my business listing, your PPC add or even your website.

Constantly improve these and you will win 🏆
