How does Top IT MSP rank managed IT companies?
Organic rank is earned, not bought. We score every MSP on verified data: real Google Business Profile ratings and review counts, confirmed company information, documented services and certifications, and operational standing. The MSP with the strongest verified record ranks highest in its city, and each profile shows the data behind its position.
Can a company pay to rank higher?
No. Organic ranking is earned on verified ratings and company data and cannot be bought. A brand can rent a clearly-labelled Featured Partner or Sponsored top spot on a city page. It is always visually marked as a paid placement and never changes the organic ratings or the verified order below it.
How are the ratings verified?
Ratings come from real Google Business Profile data, and review counts are pulled from public sources. We do not invent or pay for reviews. The current average across ranked providers is about 4.9 out of 5.
Is it free for businesses searching for an MSP?
Yes. Browsing the city rankings, comparing providers, and reading the verified data are all free for businesses. Revenue comes from labelled featured placements, premium profiles, and report sponsorship, not from the businesses doing the research.
What are the Top IT MSP survey reports?
Each month we survey managed IT providers and buyers and publish the results as data-rich, cited reports on MSP pricing, security, hiring, and AI adoption. They are free to read, and MSPs can take part or sponsor a report. Explore the reports.
