Guide summary
Use location, service coverage, trust fit, supporting details, and verification status to guide your first calls.
Build your first review set
Start broadly, then narrow the list using the requirements that matter most to your business.
- Choose the main search path: service, location, trust requirement, or directory keyword.
- Use Add to shortlist on a directory card or profile, then Compare shortlist. Save public provider selections in your browser without an account; they survive page changes and refresh when browser storage is available. Comparisons show six providers per page, with navigation to every saved selection.
- Remove individual comparison cards or clear your shortlist and the current comparison. Compare location, services, ownership, credentials, reviews, and direct contact options on mobile or desktop.
- Remove providers that do not match your geography, service need, or basic fit criteria.
Compare deeper fit signals
Use profile details to identify which providers deserve a conversation.
- Review ideal-customer language, services, Trust & Credentials context, and public trust markers.
- Look for evidence that the MSP understands businesses like yours.
- Note the questions you still need answered before deciding.
Prepare the first sales conversation
The goal of the first call is to confirm fit, not commit to a provider immediately.
- Ask how the MSP would support your specific service and location requirements.
- Discuss onboarding, response expectations, pricing model, and transition risks.
- Prepare an RFP from your shortlist to see which companies participate in automated matching and which are direct-contact only. You must explicitly choose recipients from the preview and consent to sharing; no replacement provider is selected for you.
