Using Online Directory Marketing to Increase Your Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI) in the Self Storage Category
Budgeting for SEO How your marketing budget spending may determine your company’s performance by using just 4% of your annual revenues towards online marketing. On average, small businesses spend 3% to 12% of their annual revenues allocating it to their marketing budget. Also, SEO (search engine optimization) companies demand about 8% of a company’s annual revenues to use on an Internet marketing campaign. Who Can I Hire, Inc. delivers results for half the average price. Shown below is a graph to see where your selfstorage business stands and how much of your revenues would be spent on marketing by using Who Can I Hire.
Self Storage
Why switch to online marketing? According to ISS (Inside Self Storage) “Today’s self-storage managers and owners must be Internet-savvy, putting into practice the technology available at their fingertips, including search-engine optimization, search-engine marketing and third-party referral sites to reach new customers via the Web.” Traditional marketing is expensive and limited. Think about it. Your placement online means marketing exposure on a 24/7 basis for anyone in the world to see. Newspaper ads, small sized, could cost you $1,000 per week. TV commercials of just 30 seconds would even go for over $20,000. And, these are limited time ad campaigns. With Who Can I Hire, you may spend just $450 a month for a year, and our work’s results hold their position after the end of the campaign. Thus, we offer the best return on marketing investment (ROMI) option to small businesses such as yours. Location and Directory SEO services are what we offer. Leave your website to your tech guy, and we’ll complete your company’s SEO marketing campaign with extraordinary results.

Our Focus, Your Online Future We focus primarily on directory marketing, more to the point, directory optimization. You will find a lot of SEO companies out there that will put you in many directories. But all that gets you is company name, address, phone number, and occasionally a logo or other image. Based on extensive research, a lot of time the information is incorrect and not accurate.
200+ Like the Mendoza Line*, it assures your Business is in the Major Leagues We actually take the time and enter the information manually into the directories (up to as many as 240+ for some clients). This helps the organic upward mobility of your company's web presence, thus being found by your potential customers when they do their Google, Bing, Yahoo, Puffin or any search. *baseball lingo for a batting average of .200
Why Online Directories? Think of these directories as “digital yellow pages�
A Little Social Marketing We also will help with set up of social media accounts. Although social media is helpful for retention of clients, it is not as effective for gaining new clients. New clients mostly will come from people using search engines for your services, not Facebook.
We combine the best of both social media and online directories
