Self Storage Meme of the day -

Final Thoughts -

Today has been all about Google for me

Google, I hate to say it ... Is VITAL for a self storage business!

Today ive had a PPC meeting and two SEO meetings. 

Ultimately -

• If we can rank higher on Google we increase our website visitors 

• If we can have a better landing pages we will convert more of those visitors

• If we convert more leads we move in more Sq Ft

• If we move more SQ FT in to our facility ... WE ARE RICH ... Haha :-)

We have to make sure our SEO is on point. 

Ive spent over £10k on backlinks and website analysis in the last 6 months to improve my SEO

Its a lot of money ... But if I have a good domain authority I can come in to any area and rank high organically on Google. 

Its a price im willing to pay. 

Please dont think i am saying you have to go out there and spend thousands on SEO, im not. 

What I am saying is that we have to monitor our rankings ... Watch out for Google updates. 

If someone is outranking you, have a look at their site. What are they doing better than you?

Google ultimately wants to give the user the best experience ... Do that and they will reward you with a high ranking 

Health and Fitness ... Move More = Live Longer   -

Weekly goals -

• Gym - 4 times 

• Run - 40 K 

Results so far  -
