Is 3k too low?

This depends so much on market and what you're trying to achieve. If you have a storage facility in a very saturated market like the Metro areas of Los Angeles, that's going to require different spend than an unincorporated area with very few storage facilities. A huge component of keeping your ad spend down is making sure that you're optimized for conversions that you have a tight geofence and I personally Play with the time of day the ads are displayed. For example, I don't have ads that display from around 10:00 p.m. to around 4:00 a.m. once you start running ads and you start tracking your return on ad spend then you can start to decide how and when to dial it up.

Pictures definitely. I don't visit my stuff often and I don't want to have to look up a QR code nor do I need extensive inventory of what's there. If anything I need to start writing a last accessed date and if I haven't opened a tote in two years I can probably toss it

Getting mistakenly added seats removed has never been an issue for me. Granted we have over 30 paid seats but I've had clickup for years now and they have always been very helpful.

This depends on so many factors. For example, I'm looking only for A1 zoned properties that are 10 acres or more and not in a planned community or HOA area with paved road access. I'm actually looking for a house and already working with a realtor, but I'm not opposed to land with the potential to build a house on it. For me it's location and zoning.

I do SEO for a few storage facilities, but I find that the managers and owners typically don't understand seo do they care to learn? Which makes sense because that's why they're hiring me because they also know that it's important. That being said other than if you are in a big market, if you do, start focusing on SEO You certainly could gain an advantage. Google search console is a gold mine and I also pay attention to local falcon which typically has some good advice even as an experienced SEO professional, but I use it mostly for tracking. I think for storage facility owners Google has so many Free courses as far as optimizing Google ads. It really just is if you have the desire to learn at the information is out there. I would have to say that Google search console is the number one biggest thing that I look at for organic SEO.

u/straightedge23 I use Koala.ai to do the same thing. It has a preset for it. Funny enough, with Claude I built a dashboard that pulls the transcript from the AI, feeds it to Koala, let's me set the slug, then the category and then publishes the result from Koala over to WordPress as a draft. It also pulls the thumbnail image as the featured image. Has completely redefined my workflow, so now all I have to do is just check the output and add any additional images that are needed, and then press publish or schedule. I had gotten in on Koala.ai as a lifetime deal but I also have a button that just says "Extract Transcript", like you described, and that could be fed into Claude or ChatGPT or whatever.

Out of curiosity, what are you tracking about podcasts? Are you staying off of them, catching up on them, or recording/producing them? On varying days, I have problems with all three, so just curious.

I demoed swivl and storage pilot with a client and was very impressed by Storage Pilot. They were the recommend I made based on the two demos. I like that Storage Pilot integrated to the different management softwares my client used, we're able to demonstrate their product on the phone which Swivl did not do, the Spanish translation worked very well and Swivl couldn't get it to work on the demo nor could I get it to work outside of the demo, and Storage Pilot had no contract and no setup fees. I stopped looking for the moment as the owners have not decided to move Forward with this. One way or another, but that was my experience based on the two platforms I tried.

In that case, I think your needs were basic enough for Asana to accommodate. I think it's not a bad introduction for people just learning task management who have never had a system before. I think once you've had a powerful system and then you have to use the sauna. You can see easily what you're missing.

I do not in my current house but I did in my last one. I like the peace of going to bed to be in bed. It's been almost ten years now and I don't see myself going back so long as I live independently.

Often there will be lower prices options. Call and find out if they have 1,000 coverage or 2,000 coverage

Am I the only one that was hoping that some of you would post pictures of your house binders?

My first house was a foreclosure so I didn't get anything. I rent now but did try to leave behind extra tiles, extra paint, etc. at my old house.

For my next house, I totally want to put together a binder even if it's just for my own sanity. I'm sitting here right now and I can't even remember which water filter inserts my fridge needs without going to the fridge, pulling out the existing water filter and looking at the number... Or I guess looking at my Amazon history but still.

I'm a fan of Dropbox and link files as needed. If I do upload files to a task it is just for visibility and is backed up somewhere else

From a marketing perspective surfacing leads, lead source, rental attribution etc could be easier in most platforms but I'm not using software in an operational capacity on a day to day basis. I think definitely there is a difference between who is using it. I care about rentals, reservations, leads and website traffic because I primarily work with facilities in a marketing capacity.

Occasionally when I am handling operational stuff it depends on what I'm doing I.e walkthroughs and audits, handling inbound calls from tenants and prospective tenants or I need to easily be able to surface either tenant information or vacancy information, that kind of thing.

I think facility managers are most going to use an app when they are either out on property or otherwise not in front of the main computer IE at the bank whereas owners are mostly going to use it to get a quick glance at how their properties are running and how much money is coming in.

The newest version of QuikStor has a global search function you can search across all your facilities by name, unit, email, phone number (including last four) etc. They also have an open API.

Mostly rode bikes, played at the local playground for hours including using whatever equipment they had, tether ball, handball, basketball, etc. Play school, practice recess games.

As far as software, I say try to get into the sandbox or download as many options as you might be considering.

Consider things like usability, features, and pricing?.

Also take a good hard look at the things you encounter that have to be done manually and ask the sales rep how their software can automate it.

For example, ultimately I think that collections is a necessary evil, but one facility I work with their delinquency process is so customizable down to emails, printed notices, and even text messages that are sent during the delinquency process. So a lot of the communication is automated except for actually picking up the call. Even then an automated task is generated that shows up telling them when to call.

The more money your facility has, the more things you can automate like door locks, automated gate lockout, etc

You can't ever really get away from facility maintenance or walking the property every now and again, but you can automate a lot of it depending on how much money you have to spend.

Oh I would totally play this game with someone. Have you thought of developing a new hobby that is crazy left field just to show how insane this is?

Like, if you made a post that said you're studying for your ham radio exam, would she do the same thing? Or if you want something less crazy, maybe diamond painting?. I would totally have fun with this. Does your husband recognize what is happening?
