Link building for IT services companies and MSPs. Verify the relationship behind the listing.
MSP link opportunities often depend on a vendor relationship or a real service connection. This scope checks eligibility before treating a directory as an available placement. It also prepares approved technical contributions whose destinations explain the actual service boundary, with published vendor and location claims inspected alongside the link.

MSP relationship reference record
The MSP relationship record prevents directory inclusion from implying unsupported qualifications. This record is illustrative and contains no client results.
| Situation to check | Proposed scope | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| A vendor directory category is proposed | Get the current programme evidence and permitted business description. | A badge does not establish all specialisms in the vendor ecosystem. |
| A local directory requires an address | Use the real operating information and eligibility rules. | A service area must not be invented as a staffed office. |
| An expert quotation is requested | Approve attribution and the technical statement with the actual contributor. | The agency must not impersonate an MSP engineer. |
| A partner status expires | Identify affected profiles and correction actions. | A historical placement is not current proof of eligibility. |
