MSP marketing for IT companies

MSP marketing for IT support firms and managed service providers: plain-English content, local search and referrals that win recurring contracts.

Partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month

IT companies and MSPs

MSP marketing that business owners understand

Rock Solid Marketing plans and runs marketing for IT companies and managed service providers (MSPs) across Australia, from our office in Mildura. Your buyers are business owners and office managers who don't speak IT. They switch providers when something breaks, a contract ends or a cyber scare hits the news, and they choose the one they trust to explain things plainly.

So we build trust before the crisis: plain-English pages on support, security and backup, and local search for IT support in the towns you serve. Case studies told with your clients' permission and LinkedIn for the owner do the rest. Closer to home, we built the brand and website for Mildura CCTV & Data, a security and data cabling installer in Irymple. Each service, from CCTV to wireless networks, has its own page.

Partnership plans start at $4,500 + GST a month. Book a free 30-minute discovery call to talk it through.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. Prospects only call when something's broken, then pick whoever answers first.

    What we do

    Local search and a Google Business Profile for IT support in your towns, with a clear after-hours line if you offer one. You become the one they find in a crisis.

  2. Our website is full of acronyms our buyers don't understand.

    What we do

    We rewrite services in plain English: what's covered, what happens when something breaks, how fast you respond and how you price it, per user, per device or by project.

  3. Cyber security is on every owner's mind, but our content doesn't speak to it.

    What we do

    Plain guides built around the Australian Cyber Security Centre's Essential Eight, written as general information, give owners a reason to talk to you before an incident.

  4. Most new clients come from referrals that dry up without warning.

    What we do

    A referral program with accountants, office fit-out firms and software vendors, plus a regular update to past clients, keeps the introductions coming.

Services for IT companies

Digital marketing for IT companies and MSPs

Guides built around the ACSC's Essential Eight and common scams, written for owners as general information, which give prospects a reason to book a security review.

LinkedIn for the owner

Posts from your founder or technical lead on LinkedIn about incidents avoided, lessons learnt and local business news, so decision makers recognise the name.

Case studies with permission

Short case studies about migrations, outages fixed or offices moved, written with the client's permission and without details that would expose their systems.

Referral partners

A simple referral pack and a regular update for the accountants, fit-out firms and software vendors who often meet your future clients before you do.

Contracts traced to source

A monthly report shows enquiries, security reviews booked and contracts signed by source, so you can see which channel brings recurring revenue.

Who it’s for

Is it the right fit?

Who it’s for

  • Managed service providers selling support contracts
  • IT support companies for small and medium businesses
  • Regional IT, networking and data cabling businesses
  • Cyber security consultancies

Not a fit

  • MSPs wanting bought lead lists or cold email blasts
  • Firms expecting promised contract numbers
  • A sole technician who needs a website first: a website package may suit better

How it starts

Marketing for IT companies starts with your best clients

We start with your client list: which clients are the most profitable per seat, which industries and towns they come from, why they chose you and what made past clients leave. We also look at how you price, whether per user, per device or by project.

That shows the niche worth leading with and the message that wins it. Then we agree the channels and who on your team reviews technical content.

You leave with a plan by niche and channel, whoever delivers it.

  • Your most profitable clients
  • Industries and towns they come from
  • Why clients chose you
  • Why past clients left
  • Who reviews technical content

Find the niche, then own it.

We approached Rock Solid Marketing to build our online store for our retail division and to look after our existing website. The professionalism of Sean and his team from day one was incredible, they took the time to sit down with us to discuss our exact requirements and they offered suggestions for the build which would improve the overall running of the store.

The finished result of our online store is nothing short of fantastic- it integrates with our point of sale software, it is very easy to navigate, and presents and operates as a professionally made web store should. Since completion and hand over, the back up support we receive from Rock Solid Marketing is remarkable- nothing is too much trouble and we can contact the team at any time with any questions we may have. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sean, Janine and the team from Rock Solid Marketing for building or revamping a website, creating an online store to suit your business or with online marketing.

All FAQs

MSP marketing on our Starter partnership plan costs $4,500 + GST a month and covers 28 hours. IT businesses with several niches or offices often need 35 or 45 hours, at $5,500 or $7,500 + GST a month. Ad spend is extra. If a Google profile and a better website are the real gap, we'll say so before we quote.

MSP marketing is how managed service providers win and keep recurring IT support contracts. It leans on trust, because buyers can't judge technical skill directly: plain-English service pages, local search, security guides, case studies, referrals and a reputation for responding fast. The goal is signed agreements, not just website traffic.

Look for one that asks about your margins per seat, your niche and your referral partners before it talks about ads. Whether it calls itself an IT marketing company or a general agency, ask who writes technical content, who checks it and how it reports contracts signed. A marketing company for MSP growth should also tell you what not to spend on.

Pick a niche, speak plainly and be easy to find. Choose the industries or towns you serve best, explain your services without jargon, and make sure local searches for IT support find you with good reviews. Then add security content, referral partnerships and LinkedIn. Marketing for MSPs and project-based IT firms follows the same order.

Yes, for urgent and high-intent searches such as IT support near me or an email outage, if you can answer quickly. Ads should send people to a page for that service with a phone number at the top. Broad terms like cloud or cyber security are expensive and vague, so we keep budgets on searches that become contracts.

Yes, as general information that your technical team checks. We write guides on the Essential Eight, backups, scams and staff training in language owners understand, and leave out details that would help an attacker. Specific advice for a business stays with you, in a security review, which the content is designed to lead to.

Yes. If you have staff to run the marketing and want direction, we can act as your MSP marketing consultant. A strategy session or plan is billed at $175 + GST an hour. You get the niche, message and channel plan in writing. If you'd rather we run it all, a partnership plan covers the work month to month.

Your business does. Your website content, Google Business Profile, ad accounts and LinkedIn pages stay in your name, and we work as a user on them. There's no lock-in contract on our partnership plans, so you can change plans or stop with everything handed over. If a website project is all you need, we'll tell you before we quote.
