Challenges for the Storage Industry
Residents and businesses have more stuff than ever. A lot of that overflow “stuff” goes to local storage spaces. But with so many options to choose from, how can a storage company get noticed online? Increasingly, consumers are making quick purchasing decisions based on online visibility and strength of your mobile website. Don’t leave anything to chance. To ensure you stand out from our competitors, turn to NetGain for trusted advice. Our industry expertise continues to yield strong results for our clients.
3 Types of Storage Companies
Self-Storage
It may not surprise you to learn that self-storage is a very competitive market. Even successful companies suffer frequent client turnover – and it’s critical that unit vacancies are filled very quickly. Even though storage itself may not be technologically advanced, consumers still expect online booking and smooth online payment. Savvy web marketers leave competitors in the dust.
Document Storage
Also known as a “records center”, information management companies offer specialized storage of paper-based files. Their target market is heavily weighted on the B2B sector. While there is a longer-than-average sales cycle, records centers are rewarded with an extremely low customer attrition rate. Value-based digital marketing tips the odds in your favor of winning new clients.
Warehousing
Of the 3 types of storage companies, warehousing is the most industrial, catering to manufacturers and distributers. Other services like inventory management and fulfillment are often expected from warehousing partners. Even though they don’t cater directly to consumers, warehouses still need to be found online and present themselves professionally.
Engaged in the Storage Industry
National Records Centers (NRC) is a consortium of local records management companies that manage nationwide record storage needs through a single point of contact. i-SIGMA is the trade association for records information management, including physical record storage. We have supported these associations for many years, conducting in-person training sessions and advising members on best practices for marketing their storage business.
Google Ads for the Storage Industry
The storage industry is driven by immediacy and intent. People have stuff they want out-of-sight, right away. In their moment of need, they search for “storage near me”. Often, they click on the first search result, which may well be an advertisement. Be found at the exact moment people are searching for space for their stuff. Pay-per-click ads are an effective way to attract new customers. As a Google Partner, NetGain crafts effective ads and we provide detailed reporting on your return on investment.
SEO Copywriting for Storage Companies
Most storage websites suffer from “thin content”. Pages are too short to be valuable to users. Compounding the problem, Google tends not to rank short pages. NetGain’s copywriters fix this issue with high-quality descriptions of your service and facilities. Our pages are written to be user friendly and search engine friendly. When it comes to self-storage and records storage, we draw on our wealth of industry experience to create compelling content that gets noticed.
