FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You ask, we answer

How quickly can PPC deliver results for MSPs?

Faster than SEO for sure — sometimes within days. PPC is the “instant gratification” channel of MSP marketing. You can start seeing clicks and inquiries within days, especially on high-intent searches like “managed IT support” or “cybersecurity provider.”

The real magic happens in 2–6 weeks, once we’ve trimmed the budget-wasters, tightened your targeting, and taught Google not to show your ads to people looking for IT jobs.

PPC is the switch you flip when you want visibility now , while the rest of your marketing is still stretching.

How do you ensure ad spend isn’t wasted?

We guard your budget like it’s the last firewall license on earth. That means tightening your targeting, blocking low-intent keywords, and telling Google “absolutely not” every time it tries to show your ad to someone looking for IT jobs or printer repair.

We refine bids weekly, prune out junk clicks, test new creatives, and constantly adjust audience filters so every dollar is aimed at people who can actually buy from you...not random browsers killing time.

And if something isn’t converting?
We kill it fast. No ego. No sunk-cost drama.

How is campaign performance reported?

You get clear, no-nonsense reports that actually tell you what happened...not 14 pages of charts to make the agency look busy. We lay out leads generated, cost per lead, keyword and audience performance, landing page results, and what’s driving real pipeline momentum, not vanity clicks.

You’ll know exactly what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re changing next...all in language your team doesn’t need a decoder ring to understand.

What’s the best ad platform for MSP lead generation?

There’s no one-size-fits-all, but if we had to pick a MVP—it’d be Google Search Ads. Reason: people searching “managed IT services,” “cybersecurity provider,” or “IT support for SMBs” are already in buy-mode. They typed a problem; you’re their solution.

If you’re targeting decision-makers like IT directors or CFOs and longer sales cycles? Then LinkedIn Ads move to MVP. Precision matters. Titles matter. Targeting professionals matters.

The kicker? Smart MSPs don’t pick just one.
Google gets the traffic, LinkedIn gets the decision‐makers, retargeting catches the fence-sitters.
Mix those and you get a lead gen engine that actually works.

Do you manage both Google and LinkedIn Ads?

Yep...we run both, because they each do different heavy lifting. Google catches buyers who are already searching for help (“MSP near me,” “cybersecurity provider”), while LinkedIn lets you laser-target the decision-makers who sign the checks.

Think of it like a one-two punch:
Google brings in the high-intent leads.
LinkedIn warms up the high-value ones.

And yes...we handle the targeting, copy, creative, bidding, retargeting, and reporting for both. No juggling agencies. No mixed messages. No chaos.

One strategy. Two platforms. All aligned.
