For new prospects and those interested in your MSP services to find your MSP website, it’s important for you to constantly deliver compelling content in many different forms. Google Authorship is one way to do this. It lets you connect your MSP website to your Google + profile. You can even select to have your profile photo included in a snippet displayed in a search result, and a byline that you choose.

Why is this important?  Let us explore some of the reasons.

First of and the most important - To Attract Attention To Your MSP Business

Your Google + profile photo will attract more search results so people will visit your MSP website and hopefully contact you.   Did we tell you that if done correctly, your photo appears in the search engine result pages.

To Establish Your Authority As The Trusted Managed Services Provider

Your Google + identity is actually a digital number that follows you wherever you go on the web, and provides a link to your content on your profile.

To Stop Others From Plagiarizing Your Content (Ooops, this doesn't happen online does it?)  

Google Authorship identifies and designates content as yours to limit plagiarism.
