Storage.co.uk hits top spot in Google search!

The free storage information website, Storage.co.uk, has reached number one in Google for the search term “storage” and has been top for 3 of the last 4 weeks. It is also ranked number one by Microsoft’s search engine, Bing, for searches for “storage”.

Content and hyperlinks

These encouraging results are thought to be because search engines like our content and the amount of useful material we have assembled about self storage. Perhaps Google prefers a website with a range of self storage offerings and it seems also to like the number of hyperlinks people have put in to the Storage.co.uk website.

Storage.co.uk has lots of really useful information, including a get-a-quote service, and it lists over 1,200 UK storage centres with hundreds of comments by users reporting their experiences – whether good or bad.

Self storage industry survey

But the website is also a source of industry news and has recently completed a survey of storage companies showing that about half of their enquiries come from the Internet and that they are overwhelmingly upbeat about 2011. The majority of storage companies don’t plan to increase price for 2011 and they are typically about 75% occupied.

Number one for other self storage searches

Storage.co.uk is also listed as number one for searches on many other terms, coming first for “self storage Europe” and “Spanish self storage”. And even for the term “self storage” it is ranked third, above Access Self  Storage, Shurgard, Alligator and Lok’nStore.

The Storage.co.uk team, which includes about a dozen web designers and content providers, also believes that the Storage.co.uk site is proving popular because of the range of material it provides, including space calculators, the directory of self storage facilities, and up-to-date industry news.
