Google Review Generation
ο»Ώ
Overview
The Storagely Review Generation Tool helps storage operators grow their reputation on Google by turning satisfied customers into online advocates. By reaching out to renters shortly after they move in, we encourage timely feedback and strategically route customers to either leave a Google review or connect with the facility directly for support.
How It Works
1. Integration with the Facility Management System (FMS)
Storagely receives daily rental data from your FMS, allowing us to identify when new customers rent a unit at your facility.
2. Timing the Outreach
Nine (9) days after a rental occurs, the customer is automatically sent a branded feedback email with the subject line: βHow did we do?β This delay gives renters time to settle in and form an opinion about their experience.
3. Feedback Collection
The email prompts customers to rate their experience on a 1β5 star scale. The messaging is friendly and personalized, expressing appreciation and asking for feedback in a low-friction format.
βYou're all moved in. How did we do? Thank you for choosing us for your self storage needs. We'd love to hear about your experience.β
4. Smart Routing Based on Rating
- Ratings of 4β5 stars: The customer is redirected to the facilityβs Google Business Profile to leave a public review.
- Ratings of 1β3 stars: The customer is redirected to the facilityβs Contact Us page, giving the team a chance to personally resolve any issues before a public review is left.
This two-path system ensures:
- Positive experiences amplify your brand.
- Concerns are handled privately and promptly.
Why This Matters
- More reviews = higher visibility Google prioritizes businesses with strong, consistent review activity in search and map results.
- Timely outreach = higher response rate Asking at the right moment (neither too soon nor too late) maximizes engagement.
- Issue resolution = stronger customer trust Customers feel heard, even when things go wrong.
Best Practices
- β Keep your contact page up-to-date Ensure customers routed through this path can easily reach your team.
- β Respond to Google reviews Both positive and negative responses deserve follow-up.
- β Encourage onsite teams to mention the follow-up A quick reminder at move-in (e.g., βYouβll get a quick check-in email soonβ) can prime renters to respond.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we send feedback requests in bulk?
Yes. Storagely supports batch feedback request campaigns for properties looking to boost review counts quickly. This is particularly helpful:
- When a property has gone through recent improvements or new ownership.
- When you want to build baseline credibility on a newly opened or rebranded location.
To request a batch feedback send, reach out to your Storagely Account Manager.
