Great safe place to store my trailer. Never any issues and was reminded about payments when I forgot which prevented late fee. Great friendly people all around. Highly recommend

I had some initial trouble during their ownership transition. The new team is very helpful and communicative. The buildings are clean and after years of storing here never had an issue regarding safety or theft. I recommend this storage facility

Review Collection Strategy
A step-by-step plan for reaching 15+ reviews. The best reviews come from asking at the right moment — here's when and how.
In person
Day 1 — Move-in
Hand customer a printed card with the QR code and review URL. Say: "If you love it here, we'd love a review!"
Week 2 — First follow-up
Send the "New move-in" email template. This is the highest-converting touchpoint — customers are still in the honeymoon phase.
Email / SMS
Month 1 — First payment
Include a review request in the payment confirmation or reminder. "Thanks for your payment — if you're happy with your unit, a Google review means the world to us."
Phone + SMS
Any positive phone call
Use the phone script above. Offer to text the link immediately — conversion is much higher when you send it during the call.
In person
Ongoing — On-site signage
Post the QR code sign at the office counter, on the gate keypad, and on unit doors. Passive but consistent.
Month 3+ — Long-term tenants
Send the "Long-term tenant" email template to anyone who has been with you 3+ months without leaving a review.
