Storagely Launches Reserve with Google Integration, Expanding Online Rental Access for Self-Storage Operators

Storagely, a website and online rental platform built specifically for the self-storage industry, announced on September 7, 2026, that it has been approved for Reserve with Google. The approval enables Storagely to offer the integration to its eligible customers, giving more self-storage operators the ability to connect their locations, storage inventory, pricing, and rental experiences directly to Google.

Until now, Reserve with Google capabilities in self storage have primarily been available to real estate investment trusts (REITs) and some of the industry's largest operators—companies with the scale and technical resources to build and maintain their own integrations. Storagely's approval creates a new path for independent and regional operators that rely on their technology providers to make such capabilities possible.

"Google is already where an enormous number of storage searches begin," said Austin Simmons, CEO of Storagely. "Reserve with Google gives operators a more visible way to turn that search into action. Our job is to make the distance between someone searching for storage and becoming a tenant as short as possible."

The integration is designed to go beyond simply adding a booking button. Storagely can publish a participating facility's available storage offerings, unit sizes, and current pricing directly to Google. This includes details such as available storage unit types, unit sizes, climate-controlled and other storage options, current starting prices, and links into the appropriate online rental or reservation experience. Storagely is also designed to keep this information synchronized with the operator's current inventory and pricing, helping ensure the information provided to Google reflects what is actually available to rent.

"Storage inventory and pricing are always changing," Simmons said. "The opportunity is to give Google a much better understanding of the storage options an operator offers, including sizes and pricing, rather than simply knowing where the facility is located."

One of the biggest opportunities is visibility. In a traditional Google Search or Maps experience, a potential tenant may find a facility, interact with its Business Profile, visit its website, and then navigate through the site to locate available units. Reserve with Google can introduce a distinct Book Online or Schedule action for eligible participating locations, giving consumers a prominent way to take the next step while they are actively searching on Google.

"The Book Online button may look simple, but where it appears in the customer journey is incredibly important," Simmons said. "The customer is already looking for storage. We don't want to make them hunt for what to do next."

The integration also aims to create a more relevant customer journey. Instead of a generic search that leads to a homepage where the customer must search again, the goal is to connect the customer as directly as possible to the relevant unit type, size, current price, and rental experience. "If the customer has already expressed what they're looking for, we shouldn't make them start over," Simmons said. "That's where this becomes much bigger than a booking button. It's about creating a direct connection between customer intent, current inventory and the storage option they're interested in."

For eligible participating locations, Storagely's Reserve with Google integration is designed to provide a prominent Book Online action within the business's Google presence, connect Google Search and Maps more directly to the rental experience, publish available storage inventory to Google, provide individual storage offerings, unit sizes and current pricing, keep inventory and pricing information synchronized as availability changes, send consumers toward storage options relevant to their search, reduce unnecessary steps between discovery and rental, allow customers to complete reservations or rentals online, and better identify rentals and reservations originating from Google.

"Every extra click creates another opportunity to lose a customer," Simmons said. "Reserve with Google lets us begin removing that friction before the customer ever reaches the operator's website."

Storagely plans to begin making the capability available to eligible customers starting on September 14, 2026. Availability of Reserve with Google functionality, booking actions, inventory, pricing, and storage offerings is subject to Google eligibility requirements and Google's determination of how eligible actions and information are displayed across Google Search and Maps.
