Building a Powerful Digital Identity in the MSP Space

When building a digital identity for Managed Service Providers (MSP) there is none better than Seota Digital Marketing.  Our dedicated team of WordPress Website Design and Development professionals understands what it takes to establish a digital identity that differentiates your brand and becomes the foundation for your inbound marketing efforts.

CinchOps, a new MSP headquartered in Katy, Texas, came to Seota Digital Marketing with a very specific objective.  As a new MSP in a highly competitive space, CicnhOps had to quickly establish a digital identity that would establish their brand, build brand awareness, and most importantly drive Google rankings in their target market area.  That meant they needed a partner who knew how to design a powerful WordPress Website for MSP that was designed from the very beginning with SEO in mind and that also effectively integrated the brand persona, established credibility and authority, and highlighted key services.

SEO-Led Design

SEO-led website design refers to the strategic approach of building and structuring websites with search engine optimization (SEO) best practices in mind from the outset. It involves integrating elements like keyword research, optimized content, responsive design, fast loading times, and user-friendly navigation to enhance a website’s visibility and ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). By focusing on SEO before the design phase, businesses can create websites that not only attract more organic traffic but also provide a better user experience, ultimately driving higher conversion rates and achieving long-term online success.

What does following an SEO-Led design approach mean from an agency point-of-view?  Simple.  It means that before a single design, page layout, or site map is established the Website Design and Development team puts in the work to fully understand things like entity, keywords and keyword phrases, competitive advantages and disadvantages, and most importantly client marketing goals.  It always amazes the team at Seota how few agencies take the time to focus on these key elements of the project before the Website Design and Development effort is initiated.

A Unique Blend of Design and Function

From the beginning, the CicnhOps team was clear, they wanted a website that stood out in a crowded MSP space.  Their personality and experience HAD to shine, and they wanted the brand to always be in front of new potential clients.  Effective Calls to Action (CTA) were crucial to achieve their business growth objectives and the experience had to be seamless.  The CinchOps team understood that they only had 5 seconds to capture the attention of website visitors, get them to the information they needed, and allow them to talk to an IT expert.  That’s a tall order but the Seota team was up to the challenge.

CinchOps had created a visually stunning logo, was leveraging bold colors, and had a strong story to tell.  It was the Seota team’s job to translate all of those things into a website experience that matched the creativity, capability, and personality of the CinchOps team.  Our team leveraged sticky menus to ensure that users could always get the information they needed in a single click.  We integrated custom iconography, brand colors, and branded design elements throughout the website.  And we leveraged a site layout that allowed us to present keyword-rich content in a meaningful way.  The brand logo was leveraged as inspiration by our WordPress Design team, and then integrated in creative ways throughout the site resulting in the brand personality coming to life on every page.

The design allowed for the effective presentation of proof points and key services while maintaining balance with the effective use of white space.  The result was a website that provided content that was easy to absorb, visually pleasing, and on-brand!  In this case, the collaborative effort between the client and agency allowed the team to embrace an approach where design meets function.

Managing the Marketing Funnel

When creating a website designed for inbound marketing and SEO purposes, understanding the marketing funnel and integrating lead management and conversion techniques into the website design is crucial.  The Seota team understood that it was their job to create an experience that enabled top and middle funnel capabilities and set up the CinchOps Sales team for success.

The experience created allowed users to easily access gated content using simple forms that did not overwhelm users.  More importantly, it allowed the CinchOps team to capture leads and manage the middle funnel.

Conclusion

The MSP space is highly competitive and there are three keys to success that the Seota team clearly understands.  They are:

1. Understanding your go-to marketing strategy and unique value proposition – this seems basic, and we are always surprised by clients who do not take the time to clearly define these elements of their strategy. Without clear understanding of these basic elements, you can’t build a website that effectively tells your story and differentiates you from competitors.
2. Leveraging SEO-led Design – technical SEO and optimization strategies driven by content are crucial in the MSP space. Doing your homework upfront and understanding the competitive landscape will help drive your success.  The most important aspect of your website in the MSP space is its ability to rank and drive inbound traffic.
3. Blending Design and Function – when it comes to great WordPress Website Design and Development there is no reason to forgo either design or function. Great agencies can do both.  Define your marketing funnel strategy and then make sure your agency partner can execute it.
