# Self-storage email list: every storage facility in your area, with checked emails

Leadraft builds a list of self-storage businesses from Google Maps for the area you choose: self-storage facilities, climate-controlled storage, RV, boat and vehicle storage, portable storage containers and wine storage. Each facility comes with its phone, website, address, rating, reviews, hours and social profiles, plus up to 5 emails found on its own website. Every email is checked against the live mailbox and graded **Verified**, **Accept-all** or **Invalid**, and invalid ones are never exported.

## How big is the self-storage facility market?

Self-storage is a real estate business run like a retail one. A facility is a piece of land, rows of units, a gate and an office, often with one manager or none at all. The Census Bureau counted 18,564 self-storage and miniwarehouse lessor establishments with employees in 2023 (NAICS 531130), led by Texas (2,304), California (2,247), Florida (1,581), Georgia (705), New York (702) and North Carolina (645). Unstaffed sites without their own payroll aren't all in that count, so Google Maps shows more storage locations. Ownership splits between large public operators and management companies running hundreds of sites under one brand, and a long tail of local owners with one to a few facilities. Owners and managers buy for occupancy and rent: marketing, management software, gates and access control, security cameras, insurance for tenants, and eventually brokers when they sell.

## How many self-storage facilities are there in each state?

Texas, California and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 18,564 establishments in **Lessors of miniwarehouses and self-storage units (NAICS 531130)** across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list.

## What's in a self-storage facility lead list

Every row is one self-storage facility business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for self-storage facilities:

| Field | Why it matters for self-storage facilities |
| --- | --- |
| **category / categories** | Splits self-storage from RV and boat storage, warehouses and moving-and-storage companies. A gate and access vendor sells to all of them; a unit-rental software vendor wants the Self-storage facility rows. |
| **website (domain)** | The most important field for this trade. Hundreds of sites can share one operator's domain. Group by domain to separate large operators that buy centrally from independent owners who decide locally. |
| **email + grade** | Facilities often publish a site address or a general rentals address. **Verified** means the mailbox exists; **Accept-all** means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully. |
| **emails (up to 5, with role and source)** | Independent owners sometimes list a manager address and an owner or office address. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the person who decides. |
| **rating + reviews** | Renters compare facilities on reviews. Independents with few reviews or a low rating next to branded competitors are the natural targets for marketing and reputation offers. |
| **hours** | Office hours and gate hours differ. Short office hours or none suggest an unstaffed site that may use remote management or kiosks, useful for software and call-center vendors. |
| **address + lat/lng** | Location is the asset. Coordinates let brokers, developers and lenders map supply around a site or across a metro before an acquisition or a new build. |

About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a [sample export](https://leadraft.co/sample/leadraft-sample.csv).

## Search terms that find every self-storage facility

No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates.

**Search terms:** self storage, self storage facility, storage units, storage facility, mini storage, climate controlled storage, indoor storage, drive up storage units, 24 hour storage, rv storage, boat storage, vehicle storage, car storage, covered parking storage, portable storage containers, storage container rental, mobile storage, business storage, document storage, wine storage, warehouse storage, moving and storage.

**Google Maps categories:** Self-storage facility, Storage facility, RV storage facility, Boat storage facility, Moving and storage service, Warehouse.

Leadraft includes these in its [Real estate keyword pack](https://leadraft.co/keyword-packs#real-estate) (46 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade.

## Who sells to self-storage facilities, and what works

-   **Self-storage brokers and acquirers.** Buyers want independent facilities in target markets. Draw the metro as a polygon, filter out large operator domains and write to the owner with a short, respectful note about what similar sites have traded for.
-   **Self-storage marketing and SEO agencies.** "Storage units near me" is the core search. Show the owner where they rank on the map, how their reviews compare with the nearest branded facility, and whether renters can reserve online.
-   **Management software and remote management services.** Online rentals, automated move-ins, billing, call centers and kiosks. Pitch the owner on running more sites with fewer staff hours.
-   **Gate, access control and security vendors.** Keypads, smart locks, cameras and gate systems. Lead with theft prevention and app-based access that renters now expect.
-   **Tenant insurance and protection plan providers.** Tenant protection and insurance plans are something facilities sell at move-in. Offer a clear revenue share and simple setup in their existing software.
-   **Builders, steel building suppliers and lenders.** Owners expanding or converting land need steel buildings, construction and financing. Target independents with high review counts, a sign of strong demand.

## How to segment and qualify a self-storage facility list

### Independent vs large operator

Group rows by website domain. One domain across dozens of sites is a large operator or third-party manager; one domain with one to five sites is an independent owner. Most brokers, agencies and software sellers want the second group.

### RV, boat and vehicle storage

Search RV, boat and vehicle storage terms separately. These sites cluster near lakes, coasts and HOA-heavy suburbs and buy different things (paving, covered parking, security).

### Portable storage

Portable container companies are logistics businesses with trucks and yards. Keep them as their own list and pair them with our [moving company email list](https://leadraft.co/leads/moving-companies).

### Weak online presence

Filter for facilities with no website, a rating under 4.0 or fewer than 30 reviews. Many independents still take rentals only by phone, which is the opening for online rental offers.

### Newly opened facilities

New facilities need to fill units fast and buy marketing, software and insurance programs at once. A [monitor](https://leadraft.co/product/monitors) on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps.

## How to reach self-storage facilities

### Managers aren't owners

The person in the office is usually a site manager who can't sign for software or a sale. Ask them who handles your topic, or write to the owner or office address when the site lists one.

### Busy season is summer

Move-ins peak in late spring and summer, when people move house and students leave campus. Fall and winter are better for selling to owners and managers.

### Lead with occupancy and rent

Owners track occupancy, rent per square foot and delinquency. Offers framed as more rentals, higher street rates or fewer late payments land better than feature lists.

### CAN-SPAM and TCPA

Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so dial by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent.

## How to find self-storage facility leads: build the list in four steps

1.  **Choose the place.** A city, county or ZIP code, a radius around an address, or a shape you draw on the map (or a KML file).
2.  **Search every variant.** Start from the terms above. Leadraft splits large areas into tiles so you get the businesses past Google's first few hundred results, and keeps only the ones inside your area and in the trade.
3.  **Preview before you pay.** The free preview shows real businesses already found there, with emails masked.
4.  **Export or push.** Download CSV or XLSX, or send the Verified emails straight to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist or HubSpot with your suppression list applied. Each business is charged once, ever.

## Self-storage facilities lead lists: questions

How do I find self-storage facility leads?

Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as self storage, storage units, climate controlled storage, RV storage and boat storage. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only facilities inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each facility's website and checks every one before you export.

How many self-storage facilities are there in the US?

The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 18,564 self-storage and miniwarehouse lessor establishments with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 531130). Texas has the most (2,304), then California (2,247) and Florida (1,581). Unstaffed sites without their own payroll aren't all counted, so Google Maps shows more storage locations than the Census figure.

Can I get a list of only independent storage facilities?

Yes. Export the list and group rows by website domain. Large operators use one domain across many sites, so removing domains that appear on more than a handful of rows leaves mostly independent owners. Leadraft's leads table lets you filter and save that view.

Are the emails verified?

Each email is checked against the facility's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the facility's own website, with the page each was found on.

How much does a self-storage email list cost?

Leadraft charges one business credit per facility, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. Texas has 2,304 self-storage establishments with employees (Census 2023). A Texas-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,000 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one metro first.

Do you include owner names?

No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each facility publishes on its own website, often a site or rentals address and sometimes an owner or office address, with the role and the page it was found on.
