  • 1.  Google standing and pay per click cost

    Posted 10-14-2025 12:13 PM

    Hello,

    Does anyone have experience working with a company which claims to improve your Google listing and advertising?

    We get multiple calls each week from out of state companies claiming to have identified a problem and offer a solution.  They will charge $400 per month to manage our Google account.  I researched them and they have bad reviews, so we are going to pass.

    Are there any reputable companies in Texas who provide this service?  I need a Google Ads expert.

    Hello Russell,

    I'm by no means a marketing expert… but I know just enough to get myself into trouble. Ha!

    A Google Business listing is free, and it's pretty easy to set up and manage. The key is making sure it's fully optimized, meaning all the information is current and accurate. Add at least 10 photos (with clear titles), and ask for honest customer reviews. That's really about it. I definitely wouldn't pay $400 for something like that.

    When it comes to Pay-Per-Click advertising, though, I'd definitely bring in an expert. Google's system is complex and changes often, so in my opinion, a professional is much better suited than little ol' me. I'd recommend sticking with someone who specializes in self-storage marketing rather than just any agency. You can find a variety of trusted experts through the TSSA Vendor Locator.

    Happy marketing!

    Hi

    I agree with Vianny. I used a company that did not provide what they promised and still took my money and when I complained they ghosted me. You can set up Google Ads yourself and we are finding that it is less expensive to just do Facebook ads and post to social media as much as you can. My manager is doing much more on her own than the company that pursued me.
