How Do I Get More Clients For My IT Company?

Work through these in order. The service pages come first because they are where the enquiries worth having come from, and the pricing page comes second because it decides whether the buyer books the call.

An office manager types ‘IT support’ and the town. A finance director types ‘managed IT services’ and the county. A practice manager types ‘Microsoft 365 migration’. A director who has just had a near miss types ‘cyber security for small business’. Four different buyers with four different budgets, and most IT company websites answer all of them with one services page that lists managed support, cloud, cyber, VoIP, connectivity, hardware and ‘much more’.

Google cannot rank a bullet point against a page that gives the service a proper explanation, and the office manager cannot tell from a list whether managed support is what you do or something you also do.

Write a page for each service you want more of. What it includes, who it suits, how onboarding works, what the response times are, roughly what it costs and how to start. Begin with the two or three services that pay for the business, not the full catalogue.

Before a business books a call with any IT provider, somebody searches ‘how much does IT support cost per user’ or ‘managed IT services pricing UK’. They are not looking for the cheapest. They are looking for a number, because a provider that hides its prices is assumed to be expensive, and because nobody wants to sit through a discovery call to find out the answer is three times the budget.

IT companies hate publishing prices because every client is different, and that is fine. Write a page that explains how you price: per user per month ranges by tier, what is included at each level, what is extra, what a typical onboarding costs and what moves the number up or down. Say what your minimum client size is.

That page ranks for the pricing searches on its own, it filters out the enquiries you would never win, and it is what AI tools cite when someone asks what IT support should cost.

A law firm wants to know you understand case management systems and client confidentiality. A school wants to know you have worked with safeguarding filters and a term-time calendar. An accountancy practice wants to know you can handle the January peak and the software they live in. On most IT company websites the only evidence is a row of client logos with no words next to them.

Write a page for each sector you want more of. What those firms typically run, what goes wrong, what you do differently for them and what the first thirty days look like. If you have worked with firms like them, say so in general terms without inventing anything.

Four or five proper sector pages beat twelve industries listed in the footer, and each one ranks for ‘IT support for’ plus the sector in your area.

Microsoft Partner, Cyber Essentials Plus, a vendor accreditation and an ISO badge mean something, but on most IT company websites they are a logo strip in the footer and nothing else. A buyer who does not work in IT cannot tell what a partner status lets you do for them, and an AI tool cannot cite a logo.

Write each one out. What the status or certification is, what it lets you do for the client, and why it matters to them. If Cyber Essentials is something you can take a client through, say so on its own page, because ‘Cyber Essentials certification help’ is a search in its own right.

The same goes for the team. Named engineers, what they look after and how long they have done it, rather than a group photo.

Almost every new client an IT company wins is leaving somebody. They are worried about downtime, about the old provider holding the passwords hostage, about what happens to their licences and about how long the handover takes. On most IT company websites the word ‘switching’ does not appear.

Write a page on how switching works. What you need from the old provider, what you do in the first week and the first thirty days, how you handle the admin passwords and the domain, what the client has to do and what they do not. Point every service page at it.

That page ranks for ‘switching IT support provider’ and the questions around it, and it is the page the buyer is actually looking for when they land on your site at nine in the evening after another outage.

An IT company website can double its visits and win no more clients, usually because the visits are people looking for a job, students, or someone in another country searching a product you once wrote a blog post about.

Put a tracked phone number on the site, keep the enquiry form short and ask which service they are interested in, and record which page each enquiry came from. In Search Console, look at which searches you appear for and whether they are the services, sectors and towns you want. If your biggest search is a blog post about a Windows error, the blog is doing the ranking and the service pages are not.

Once you can see enquiries by service and sector, you know which page to write next and which part of the business the website is actually feeding. Report that to the directors instead of the visit count.
