Top 20 Online Directories For Managed IT Service Providers and IT Consultants

Danny Crumpton • May 16, 2025

Managed IT Services Providers and IT Consultants have many options for capturing leads online. One option is signing up for "Citations" or online directories. There are hundreds of online directory options, but for any company in the IT services industry, specific ones often appear for keywords your ideal customers search for on search engines.


Benefits of Getting Added to These Directories


The benefits of adding yourself to these directories include:


  • Increasing your business's visibility online.
  • Get more leads.
  • Add more backlinks to your websites, which can help boost your website's SEO rankings.
  • Convert more targeted website visitors into leads by utilizing the review features from these directories.


Risks of Getting Added to These Directories


There are risks as well if you sign up for these directories. You may get more direct spam as people use these directories to reach out to companies like yours. Also, your data maybe sold to other marketers that purchase customer lists from these directories.


If you do it right and optimize the listings that are best for you, you may be ok with the risk as you will potentially get more leads to your website.


Prioritize the Directories You Want to Get Added To


The recommended way of prioritizing which directories you should sign up for depends upon your type of IT business (MSP, IT Consultant, Computer Repair, etc..). To help prioritize which directories fit best for you, consider the following. 


  1. Do some Google searches with targeted keywords in your local area and add words such as "Best" or "Top." Examples include the "Top MSPs in New York" or the "Best IT Consultants in Chicago."
  2. Try a few variations of your keywords and then choose the directories below that rank on the first page of Google as the first directories to target.
