Cornwall IT’s Journey to being Ranked Number 1
Told by our Director Aaron Nihat
Our Initial Problem
When I started my MSP business in 2017, I had no clients, no leads, and I wasn’t appearing anywhere on Google! I looked into various MSP marketing solutions to try and bring in some leads, but I just didn’t trust that I would get a return on my investment.
I started to pay for Google Adwords to be on page 1 but received no leads! I thought, if potential clients were the same as me, they were skipping past the ads at the top to find the organic results for their search.
When I see a paid Google ad I think to myself “you’re there because you paid Google to be there!” But when I see a website appearing on page 1 organically I think “you’re there because Google thinks you should be there!” Thats a big difference in the mind of a potential client.
Being on page 1 gives you A LOT of social proof in the eyes of potential clients!
Proposed Solution
I’ve been studying and implementing SEO for years so I asked myself, could I get my Website onto page 1 of Google for my area? I checked and each month 100+ people typed in “Cornwall IT Support”, that isn’t 100 potential clients as some may have typed this in several times, but it is quite a good number of potential clients!
I set to work on implementing my SEO strategy on my website and quickly climbed up the ranks on Google, and finally after about 6 to 9 months I was on page 1. As my website was new it did take slightly longer than it normally would.
SEO isn’t easy there is so much more than planting your targeted keywords on your website. Having said that, I don’t believe that you need to pay high amounts of money to an SEO agency forever. I believe a 4 to 5 month project should be enough. There of course may be times in the future where you need some smaller SEO projects if your rank is slowly dropping.
What happened next with Cornwall IT?
Within weeks of being on page 1, a Dental Practice owner contacted me via the website and said he needed help with his IT, they had 15 staff! I arranged to meet him the very next morning and they are still a client to this day! They had found me on Google by typing in “Cornwall IT Support”! SEO had worked!
This was the first in a long chain of leads, all resulting from the SEO I had implemented. Since then, I’ve never had to pay for Google Adwords and I never will.
This wasn’t enough for me though! I decided to open a new office in London which is a highly competitive area for MSPs. I did some research and saw that there was over a 1000 searches for “London IT Support” per month, I wanted to be on page 1! Within 4 months I achieved that goal in this highly competitive area and the leads have started to come in.
London and Cornwall are 300 miles apart but with my SEO strategy I have ranked Cornwall IT number 1 on page 1 in both areas!
RESULT
How can we help your MSP Succeed online?
Step 1 | Keyword Research
We will perform initial research into what your potential customers are typing into Google for your area. As we are also an MSP we know exactly what type of customers you want to attract to your business.
Once we agree to move forward with this project, we will then produce an action list of the next steps we need to take. At the same time we will research any more keywords that we should potentially target.
We will break this down into months. This plan will be structured to get you results as fast as possible.
Timescales: Week 1
Step 2 | Quick-win SEO
You may already be naturally ranking for a few keywords here and there so our job initially will be to do a bunch of “quick fixes” to get you ranked higher for some of these keywords, so you can start seeing some results coming in, particularly if you are currently on page 2 for a keyword.
Timescales: Weeks 2-4
Step 3 | Main Keyword Optimisation
We will optimise your website to target our main keyword, this has to be carried out over a number of weeks to give us a better chance of climbing up the ranks as the project progresses.
This is a large task and we should start seeing some results from our work as we track the position of your website for our target keyword.
Timescales: Weeks 2-8
Step 4 | The Ultimate Goal
The end game is domination for your MSP in your area. We will target one major keyword for your area and work on the SEO to get you onto page one on Google for that keyword. While you are our customer, we will never work with another MSP in your area for that major keyword. There may potentially be several other major keywords that we could target, but we always recommend targeting one initially and monitoring whether Google naturally ranks you for other major keywords.
We will also target other smaller keywords that may only receive 50 searches a month but could also bring in a trickle of leads over time.
Now, this isn’t easy, cheap or quick but our hope is by showing you what’s possible and giving you that extra boost in leads, that will go a long way to funding the effort to taking over your local industry in Google. Getting leads via Google is so much more easier for you as an MSP owner compared to all the different things you need to do with MSP Marketing.
Timescales: Months 3-5
