Think of this as a "Storage Facilities Of The Month" contest. Except here, a jury didn't get to choose who gets what. This time, we allowed all the 2,702,217 people living in Chicago to be jurors by picking up various signals they created, including reviews, online & offline sentiment metrics, citations, Google search result rankings, links between websites, brand mentions, social media activity, and more.

Essentially, this competition focuses on the passion for helping people declutter and organize their lives by renting secure and accessible units for storing personal belongings. We discovered and reviewed all 358 self-storage companies in Chicago, then shortlisted 26 (traditional self-storage, vehicle storage, climate-controlled storage, lock-up garages, student storage, etc.). Finally, we ranked them based on their accessibility & location, unit availability & cleanliness, pricing, security, insurance options, and customer service.
