Case Study: Storage Unit SEO

One SEO Power Hour. 24 Positions Gained.

The Challenge

Despite offering quality storage services and maintaining a strong customer rating, this facility was nearly invisible in Google local search. Their website and Google Business Profile lacked the optimization needed to compete effectively in a crowded marketplace.

• Ranked #37 out of 76 competitors for core storage keywords. They were buried on page 3 of local results

• SoLV (Share of Local Voice) of just 0.44%, appearing in almost no map pack results across the search area

• Visible in only 51.56% of the 15x15 search grid. Nearly half of nearby searchers could not find them at all!

• Losing potential customers competitors with better Search Engine Optimization and AI Optimization

Primary goal: Improve local search visibility without a major ongoing investment. A targeted, high-impact solution was needed.

The Solution: SEO Power Hour

The client joined Tiger29 for a SEO Power Hour — a concentrated optimization session designed to identify and fix the highest-impact issues holding back performance on Google and ChatGPT. Rather than a drawn-out engagement, the SEO Power Hour delivers maximum results through expert, targeted action in a minimal time investment.

The SEO Power Hour included:

1. Google Business Profile Optimization. The GBP was optimized: primary and secondary categories were refined to match how local customers search, relevant attributes were enabled, the business description was rewritten for better relevance, and profile completeness was maximized.

2. On-Page SEO Alignment. On-page SEO improvements were implemented across the website, ensuring consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) signals, location-relevant content, and proper alignment between the website and the GBP listing to strengthen overall local authority.

Optimizations were executed with precision in a single, efficient session. The Power Hour model is designed for businesses that need results, but at a fraction of the cost of a traditional SEO campaign.

After the Power Hour session, Google found the changes over the following 30 days, and the results speak for themselves.

The Results

Key Achievements

• 24-position rank jump in 30 days: from #37 to #13 out of 76 competitors, moving from near-invisible to a competitive mid-page-one position

• +1,516% SoLV increase: from 0.44 to 7.11, representing a dramatic leap in map pack appearances across the search area

• 30 additional grid points captured: visible to searchers in 146 of 225 grid points vs. just 116 before optimization

• ARP improved from 10.35 to 9.32: closer to page-one rankings on average across all grid positions where the business appears

Deep Dive: What the Numbers Really Mean

The SoLV (Share of Local Voice) metric tells the most compelling story of this campaign. At 0.44, the facility was essentially absent from the local map pack. Google was not surfacing them in meaningful positions across the search area. After a single Power Hour, SoLV climbed to 7.11, a +1,516% improvement that reflects a fundamentally different competitive position.

What This Means for the Business

Every grid point gained represents real customers in the surrounding area who can now find this business when searching for storage units. With 30 additional grid points captured, the facility is now visible to a significantly larger pool of nearby customers - translating directly into more calls, more walk-ins, and more units rented.

The SoLV improvement from 0.44 to 7.11 is particularly meaningful: it signals that Google now recognizes this business as an authoritative, relevant, and trustworthy result for storage searches. This status should compound over time as the profile continues to gain engagement.

Jumping from #37 to #13 out of 76 competitors means this facility moved to a genuinely competitive position where real customers are actually looking.
