Web Developers Are Not Business Professionals
The MSP industry is not only extremely diverse but also exceptionally specific. MSPs can service one vertical or they can serve any business or individual that needs IT support. When creating a website for either perspective, your website's content needs to display your MSP business's specific offerings.
One of the keys to achieving an MSP website that works is to hire the right partner. You want to hire a partner that will help you create a website that will show up on the first page of Google for the search terms your potential clients are searching for. Without the proper web development and SEO techniques built into that website design, your website will not stand a chance of ranking on the 1st page of Google.
As an MSP, there are steps you should follow to ensure a web developer understands your unique needs. In the end, you will want to have an MSP site that will get results. We all know that web developers can create appealing and clever websites, but what good is all that appeal and creativity if no one ever visits your MSP site?
A web developer must pay attention to hardware and application skills that are unique to an MSP's business model. That can create difficulties when you are looking for a new web design. It is highly likely that many web developers have never taken on the task of creating a website for a Managed Service Provider.
Finding a web developer that understands MSP and your SEO needs can be difficult. When developing a website, it should be constructed in such a way that it will maximize conversion potential. It's very easy to build a creative and appealing website that no one can find because of the poor SEO work or the lack of SEO work that has been carried out on it. The visual aspects of your MSP website can be subjective, but understanding the importance of SEO should be objective.
MSPs understand that they need a website to compete in today's digital world, but many of them stick to just that. They have the website developed, but they don't do anything with it after that. If your web developer doesn't know SEO, he or she cannot optimize your MSP website and develop it at the same time. If your website is not optimized and properly developed, you will have little chance of being discovered.
So, if your website looks fantastic but isn't actually doing anything, this is likely the case because web developers are not business professionals.
Web Development and Marketing
It is vital, and a necessity to have integration between automation tools, customer relationship management (CRM) software, databases, platforms, etc., for ease of migration of your data among various platforms. Website integration will be the glue that holds your website together. Uniting your MSP website with third-party systems and tools. Integrating your MSP website with your other platforms and applications has a variety of benefits to your MSP marketing, including your processes, management, collaboration, and communication.
Unfortunately, the problem is that most web developers do not know about this part of the web process. However, many of their clients will mistakenly believe that their web developer has optimized the site for Google and other search engines. As many web developers forget to discuss this with their clients, the website is put out there without being fully optimized. MSP sites need to be built with a strong SEO foundation so that they will be connected to the search engines in such a way that people will know you're there and wait for you to communicate with them.
