Self storage website design
Storagely websites were created by a team of designers who crafted modern and easy to use self storage websites that are guaranteed to generate more online rentals.
All of the pertinent information your customers need to know to select the best storage company for their needs.
Having a modern website will help get your storage company found, make an impactful first impression, show your tenants that you are working to stay on top of trends, and prove that you are keeping their entire experience from start to finish in mind.
We hate to be the ones to break it to you, but the self storage industry as a whole could use a bit of a face lift.
Why not start with your own website?
Customer-focused storage websites lead to more rentals
The functionality of the best self storage websites is directly correlated with how many visitors will rent a storage unit online.
Storagely design and user experience experts were intentional with the layout of every page and feature within the platform.

Easy to navigate
Sure, it seems pretty obvious to make sure your self storage website is easy to use, but we’re here to tell you it’s not as simple as you think.
Or, rather, it should be more simple than it usually is.
Features like identifying a user’s closest store location and having the most important information front and center are going to help make your site more easy to navigate.
Mobile-first design
Gone are the days when it was acceptable for a website to be responsive in case someone happened to visit their site on a phone or tablet.
More times than not, your customers are going to be searching for “storage units near me” when they’re on the go using their phone.
If your website is not designed specifically for mobile use, you’re missing out on potential revenue.
Optimized for local search
Not only are the best self storage websites beautiful and easy to navigate, they are also optimized in a way that will get the visitors who are ready to rent to your digital doorstep.
Every page of your Storagely site will be optimized for a specific keyword or multiple keywords on a local level. Our SEO experts will perform research to prioritize what those keywords are and utilize them throughout the content, meta tags, title tags, and alt tags for that page.
There’s more that is done behind the scenes but we’ll save you the nerdy details.
Bottom line: people who are searching to rent a storage unit in your area will find your website.
The SEO on your website isn’t the only way people will discover your website. More on that next.
Self storage SEO is more than your website
The truly best self storage websites are more than just a website. They are also a network of profiles, links, images, and behind-the-scenes marketing efforts that generate self storage website visitors that turn into customers.
Perhaps the most important of the items mentioned above is your self storage Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business, or GMB).
Your Google Business Profile: It must be a priority
Self storage facilities are by nature a local business. Every storage facility should have a Google Business Profile (previously called Google My Business) so potential customers can easily find the storage facility, learn about all of its storage related services, see photos, read reviews, get questions answered, access contact information, and quickly jump to the website.

Every Storagely site will be connected to each of your self storage facility’s Google Business Profile to make the potential customers’ experience even more streamlined.
Sure, paid ads and aggregates are the industry standard. It doesn't make them the smartest marketing decision.
That's why Storagely puts so many of their boxes in the self storage SEO unit.
Ditch the paid ads and aggregates
Self storage SEO is like owning a home.
Paid ads and aggregates are like renting an apartment.
What we mean is, when you pay for your website visitors through paid ads or pay for your rented units via aggregates, it isn’t a sustainable long-term self storage marketing solution.
Take a look at our Storagely+ managed marketing services.
They discovered that 82% of their client’s rented units originated from people who found them via organic search (aka, Google). Less than 5% of the rented units came from people who found them via paid search.
Of course, we don’t recommend dropping paid ads or aggregates today without first understanding how your online presence is performing organically.
We’ve made that easy for you to do.

Features that generate leads on the best self storage websites
This is truly where your new Storagely website will shine.
Each of the features listed below will work together to bring you new customers by making it easy for them to provide their contact information and get their questions answered to make Storagely sites the best self storage websites they can be.
We don’t mean this to sound rude, but most people don’t want to pick up the phone and call you. It’s the cold hard truth.
When potential customers can have all of their questions answered and all of their potential concerns eliminated simply by visiting your website, they’re going to choose you over the competitor every time.
Gated virtual tours
Not only do people not want to talk to people on the phone, but most people would prefer to actually SEE where they’re going before they arrive there (maybe that’s why Google created Google Street View). The best self storage websites do just that.
Visitors are more than happy to provide basic contact information to see a virtual tour of your facilities so they can feel comfortable about where they’re going to store their belongings.
Win for them because they don’t have to physically go to your location to determine this. Win for you because you’ve not collected the contact information of a very warm lead that you can continue to nurture through your well-crafted self storage marketing strategy.
Live chat
Potential tenants may not be interested in picking up their phone to call you, but if there is a chat feature available, they’ll be happy to start a conversation!
Live chat has proven to turn website visitors into customers simply by connecting with them in a format they’d prefer.
And, our live chat system allows potential customers to continue asking questions when they step away from their computer, via email.

Easy reservations
Sure, not everyone is ready to swipe their digital credit card to fully rent a unit when they’re doing their storage research. Some people would prefer to simply reserve a unit for a specific day then pay when that day comes.
No problem.
With Storagely, visitors can complete the reservation process in just 30 seconds.
