How to prepare your profile for publication review

A strong MSP profile gives buyers enough information to understand your fit and gives MSP Ranked enough context to review publication readiness. Complete the profile like a buyer-facing business page, not an internal notes field.

Guide summary

Complete company basics, location, services, credentials, supporting details, ideal-customer fit, and publication context.

Complete the public basics

These fields help buyers identify the company and understand the scope of your business.

  • Owners and profile editors on free and paid listings can edit the company name, website, public business phone, logo and business summary.
  • Add the street and suite, city, state or region, postal code and country code under Public business details. Leave optional fields blank to keep them unpublished; billing and personal contacts stay private.
  • Keep the directory market selection aligned with the area where buyers should find you, especially after moving headquarters.
  • Services, credential topics, and relevant profile categories.

Write for buyer fit

Profile copy should make it easy for a business leader to decide whether your MSP is relevant.

  • Explain who you serve best, including company size, industries, or operating environments.
  • Describe outcomes and service strengths without exaggerated claims.
  • Use clear language that is useful for both buyers and search engines.

Understand what requires review

Ordinary profile completion, ownership verification and optional compliance review are separate workflows.

  • Basic profile edits save immediately. If you request a different website domain, the current website stays published while staff reviews ownership; your other edits still save.
  • Verified ownership does not require a paid upgrade. Supporting trust claims and compliance badges keep their separate evidence review.
  • Optional trust markers require evidence review only when you request a reviewed badge or claim.
  • Preferred Partner benefits depend on active paid subscription status and profile readiness.
