I own an Information Technology support company in NYC.  I was thinking of targeting new businesses.  I was wondering how some of you found your computer support firm?  The obvious answer is word of mouth, which seems to be the main way.  The problem is that not everyone has good IT support, so their recommendation might not be the best.  I am looking to see if this market is a viable target.  Thank you in advance for your input.

Hi,how are you? I just wanted to let you know ,I am with Ameriplan and we get our support from each other. We have conference calls daily. We stay in touch with each other plus we have web sights and yahoo messanger to talk to each other through our groups. We are team. Have a great day. I hope this info. helps a little.

Hi Kacey,

My company helps technology consulting firms like INTERLINK TECHNOLOGIES get more of the best, steady, high-paying consulting clients.

For your situation, I`d strongly recommend the following results-oriented marketing mix:

1> Business related organizations
2> B2B focused trade shows/expos
3> Sponsoring your own seminars
4> Speaking at organizations` meetings
5> Networking with other trusted business advisors/influencers
6> Rigorous follow-up with your prospects

It seems many IT companies are found through referrals or a search engine, but web management in particular may be hard to find if your looking solely on the internet.

SEO is the center of everyone's focus these days to get noticed, but it's more likely you will come across a company that provides the specific services you're looking for if you ask around.

The reason for this is many websites aren't optimized with enough variations of keywords like most large companies' are. Nevertheless, still keep on searching online. Use different combinations of keywords. Perhaps search for "web hosting" or "web hosting services" or "hosted web services."

Have a good day!

I would say a strong SEO presence will give you the back-links the search engines love, and coupled with a decent website, will net at least a trickle of calls which will spearhead the initial growth. Our website is relatively new and incomplete, but feel free to check it out.
