Start with your public profile
Every MSP can be represented cleanly in the directory, but Preferred Partner is the full public profile model used for trust, AI visibility, and richer buyer evaluation.
For MSPs
Preferred Partner is the canonical MSP growth surface.
MSP Ranked is building one clean public path for MSP acquisition: stronger partner profiles, factual verification signals, Double Exposure AI distribution, and secure hosted billing surfaces. No custom billing UX is required for launch.
Preferred Partner launch pricing: $399 / year
Stripe-hosted billing flow
Double Exposure
Built for both human buyers and AI retrieval.
Preferred Partner is not just a badge. It is the richer public representation model behind AI chat eligibility, public `llms.txt` exposure, and stronger partner pages that help buyers understand fit, verification, and stack transparency quickly.

Layer in verification and stack clarity
Preferred Partner pages are designed to separate verified compliance and verified tooling from self-declared information so buyers and AI systems can read the profile correctly.
3
Use hosted billing surfaces, not custom payment UX
MSP Ranked is Stripe-first for immediate billing. Hosted Checkout and Billing Portal flows are the operational payment surfaces while the product UX stays focused on discovery and profile quality.
Operational Path
One MSP-facing route surface, one billing model, one source of truth.
MSP Ranked now has a documented path from public partner acquisition to hosted billing returns. The next layers should build on this foundation rather than branching into parallel sign-up or payment systems.
