Background

Superior Storage has always recognized the significance of maintaining a positive online reputation to attract potential customers and outshine competitors. Before partnering with Birdeye, Superior Storage employed a manual approach to solicit reviews and referrals. Location managers were encouraged to be proactive in seeking Google reviews and offered incentives to request reviews consistently. Despite these efforts, Superior Storage faced challenges in generating a substantial number of reviews and referrals that truly reflected their satisfied customer base. 


Acknowledging the role their online reputation and customer referrals played in their bottom line,  they recognized the need for an automated system to streamline the processes of review generation and referral management.

"In our business, self-storage, referrals are really important because not every self-storage facility is run well. So when someone is looking for a facility to store their belongings, it can be really helpful to the customer if someone they know had a good experience with us."
