A New Source of Lead Generation for the IT Support Industry

A website that focuses on active lead generation for the IT and network support industry has just launched in the Washington DC area.

A new type of IT support company has recently been launched, one that doesn’t actually do IT or network support work or services. ITSupportQuotes.com was launched as the first of it’s kind micro-directory lead generation site for IT, network and computer service companies.

For the past many years computer and tech support companies have had to rely on traditional means of advertising to gain new business. Word of mouth and relationship building have always been among the top referring sources for tech consultant businesses. ITSupportQuotes.com is starting a new way of thinking in IT advertising. In fact, there really is no notable source of lead generation in IT.

ITSupportQuotes.com has options for IT companies to be listed by tech service categories or regions. Some of the service categories include the extremely current IT and data security, network support and IT outsourcing. The first regions covered by the website are Maryland, Washington DC and Virginia. Owner Ryan Corey says, “Were focusing originally on IT support companies in Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland because there is arguably the largest number of tech companies there, than anywhere else in the country. With all the Government and DoD based contractors in the area, it just made sense. Plus, our staff is from the Washington area and is already submerged in the IT industry here.”

The website offers IT consultants the ability to list their profile in regions and service categories, but also has the ability to generate leads for IT service companies. Although lead generation on the web is quite popular, IT and network support lead generation is a vertical that has not yet sprouted into maturity. Many verticals like home improvement lead generation and education leads have been growing for more than ten years. Others like legal lead gen are starting to get legs as verticals. The IT support industry itself has grown so quickly and also has so much diversity. Therefore, it may have been only a matter of time until a website would be introduced that could refer small, medium and large business owners together with the tech companies that suit their specific needs. Especially with the emerging growth of open source IT systems, the separation of operating systems, the ever changing and evolving server environment and of course the recent spike in network intrusion and data compromise, this website was released at a great time.

IT companies can find out more about being listed on ITSupportQuotes.com by visiting the advertising page. Companies looking to outsource IT support needs to a professional firm can visit the site to view local listings in their area.
