The blind spot
An MSP contract is worth tens of thousands a year and takes months to sign. Judging demand generation on enquiry count in that market means optimising for people shopping for a one-off fix.
Rank channels by signed recurring revenue rather than by how many people filled in a form.
An enquiry in March signed in September still traces to the campaign that produced it.
The people who generate demand and the people who close it read one report.
Not impressions, not leads, not cost per click. Closed revenue, by the channel that produced it, for a period you choose — with the portion we could not trace shown rather than quietly shared out across your paid channels.
| Channel | Sales | Revenue | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Ads | 9 | $312,000 | |
| LinkedIn Ads | 7 | $264,000 | |
| Email marketing | 5 | $156,000 | |
| Direct / Unknown | 13 | $468,000 |
The searches that produce urgent break-fix enquiries are cheap, plentiful and almost never turn into a managed agreement. The searches and campaigns that produce managed contracts are quieter, more expensive per enquiry, and produce nearly all the recurring revenue.
Measured on enquiry volume the first looks like the winner every month. Measured on signed annual contract value the ranking usually inverts entirely, which is the single most useful thing an MSP can learn about its marketing.
Most MSPs get a substantial share of new contracts from existing clients, vendor partners and personal networks. That revenue is real and it is not produced by advertising, so crediting it to whichever campaign ran that quarter makes the paid figures worthless.
It lands in Direct / Unknown, shown rather than redistributed. Quantifying it is often the finding that changes the plan — a firm discovering that 39% of contract value is referral usually decides to invest in that deliberately rather than accidentally.
"We generated 400 leads" invites an argument. "This channel closed $186,400 last quarter, here is the reconciliation" ends one. The teams that can show closed revenue by channel are the teams that get the next increase approved, because they are asking with evidence rather than with conviction.
Killing spend is politically harder than adding it, because someone always owns the channel being cut. A number that reconciles to the sales export takes the argument out of the room — you are not overruling a colleague's judgement, you are reading the same ledger they are.
Platform-reported conversions do not reconcile to revenue, and eventually someone in finance notices. Reporting built from your own closed-sales export starts from the number finance already trusts, which is why it holds up when it is checked.
Because this reconciles exports rather than tracking visitors, it works on months that have already closed. You are not instrumenting now to learn something in ninety days — you can answer for last quarter today, which is usually when the question is being asked.
That is why the analysis is retroactive. Upload last year's signed contracts and last year's lead exports on your first afternoon — nothing had to be installed at the time, so a completed cycle can be measured immediately.
Then the most valuable output is the size and composition of Direct / Unknown, and whether the little you do spend produces anything. Several firms have used exactly this to justify starting or stopping.
Only a contact detail, a contract value and a date are needed. No client names required, no systems connected, and the data is isolated per workspace, encrypted and deletable.
Flat monthly pricing with no per-call, per-minute or per-form fees. The number here is the number on the invoice. Most msps & it services land on Enterprise — ten seats for the team and the highest monthly record allowance, since a year of closed deals is a lot of rows.
