FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You ask, we answer

Which social channel should my MSP focus on first?

For most MSPs, the first stop is LinkedIn...it’s where your buyers actually hang out, scroll, and judge vendors. CIOs, COOs, office managers, finance directors, compliance folks… they’re all there, lurking between meetings and silently deciding who looks legit.

If your audience skews more technical or mid-market, YouTube is a strong second with short explainer videos and walkthroughs perform ridiculously well.

Other channels can come later, but LinkedIn gives MSPs the fastest path to credibility, reach, and real conversations, without dancing on TikTok or trying to be funny on Twitter (unless you want to… then we support that journey).

Start where your buyers already are. Then expand once you've built some traction.

Can social media generate qualified leads for enterprise IT buyers?

Absolutely, if you post content that enterprise buyers actually care about. CIOs and IT directors absolutely use LinkedIn to size up vendors, check technical credibility, and see who understands their world.

Targeted ads + strong thought leadership + retargeting = real enterprise leads, not random clicks or job seekers.

Social won’t replace outbound, but it warms up high-level decision-makers long before your sales team reaches out.

How do employee advocacy programs work?

Simple: we give your team approved content, clear guardrails, and zero guesswork so they can share posts without accidentally going rogue on LinkedIn. They get ready-to-use copy, visuals, and talking points that make them look smart...not spammy.

We also train them on what to share, when to share, and how to engage without sounding like they’re selling printers door-to-door. HubSpot handles the routing so any social interest or inbound messages go straight to Sales.

Basically, your people amplify your reach, and no one has to become a “LinkedIn thought leader” to pull it off.

How much should we budget for social ads?

You don’t need a giant budget to make social ads work for an MSP, but you do need a realistic one. Most MSPs see solid traction starting around $500–$1,500/month for sponsored LinkedIn content, and $1,500–$3,000/month if you want retargeting + audience expansion.

The real driver here isn’t the dollar amount; it’s how laser-focused your targeting and messaging are. When you aim at the right industries, job titles, and pain points, even a modest budget hits hard.

In short: start with a strategic budget, test what works, and scale what converts...not what “gets impressions.”

How do you measure social ROI for long sales cycles?

You track momentum, not just closed deals. For MSPs, ROI shows up as the right people engaging, returning to your site, and entering the funnel already warmed up.

We watch who’s interacting — their titles, companies, and how often they bounce from social to HubSpot. Pretty soon, it becomes obvious: social makes deals easier to start and way faster to qualify.

It’s not about likes...it’s about leverage.
