Reservation-to-Lease Rate vs. Industry
High reservation volume only matters if those reservations convert. NSA's 54% reservation-to-lease rate outperformed the self-storage industry average by more than 10 percentage points, evidence that the organic search program was attracting genuinely qualified renters with real intent, not just inflating the top of the funnel with browse traffic.
