Locations
Overview of the Locations Menu in the Storagely Listings Tool
The Locations menu in the Storagely Listings Tool allows operators to manage and monitor their business listings across multiple online directories, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and improved local search visibility. Operators have limited access to certain features, while others require assistance from their Storagely Account Manager.
What Operators Can Do in the Locations Menu
Operators can perform the following tasks:
1. Manage Locations
- View and filter location listings based on sync status (e.g., Active, Archived, Verification Pending).
- Edit business information such as name, address, phone number (NAP), hours, and services.
- Monitor sync status to ensure listings are live and accurate.
- Perform bulk edits by selecting multiple locations and applying changes simultaneously.
Operators cannot create or delete locations—this requires assistance from their Storagely Account Manager.
2. Edit Business Information
- Update critical details such as:
- Business name, address, phone number
- Operating hours and special hours
- Website URL and social media links
- Services and amenities
- Ensure accuracy to maintain listing integrity and search rankings.
Changes made in the Listings Tool will sync automatically across platforms like Google, Bing, Yelp, and Apple Maps.
3. Monitor Listing Status & Verification
- Check whether a location is verified, pending approval, or requires action.
- Address sync issues by correcting incomplete or incorrect details.
- Work with Storagely Support for verification-related issues on Google Business Profile and other directories.
Operators should promptly address "Require Action" or "Unapproved" statuses to avoid listing disruptions.
What Requires Storagely Account Manager Assistance
Some aspects of the Listings Tool are restricted to Storagely team members to ensure listing accuracy and prevent errors.
1. Managing Media (Photos & Videos)
❌ Operators cannot directly upload or modify photos in their listings in the Listings Tool. ✅ They must contact their Storagely Account Manager to request updates.
2. Managing Menus (Not Used for Storage Facilities)
- The Menus Manager is not applicable to self-storage businesses.
- This feature is used exclusively for restaurant and food service listings.
3. Creating or Removing Locations
❌ Operators cannot add or delete locations. ✅ New location setup and removal must be handled by Storagely.
4. Bulk Location Sync & Data Mapping
❌ Operators cannot manually sync all locations at once. ✅ If multiple locations require a sync update, Storagely Support can assist.
Best Practices for Operators
✔ Regularly review business information and ensure it matches facility operations. ✔ Monitor listing statuses and promptly resolve any "Require Action" notices. ✔ Maintain consistent branding by using accurate names, descriptions, and images. ✔ Work with your Storagely Account Manager for media updates or listing issues. ✔ Avoid making frequent unnecessary changes, as it may trigger verification delays.
