Not new. Just not done yet.

These are free fundamentals that have worked for over a decade. If you are not doing them yet, start now.

The tactics in this playbook are not cutting edge secrets. They are proven foundations that most MSPs have never built. Every one of them is free and every one of them compounds over time.

Free since 2010

Blog content and SEO

Blog posts answering prospect questions have driven inbound traffic for over 15 years. A post you write today keeps ranking for 12+ months.

Free since 2012

LinkedIn organic

LinkedIn personal profiles generate 5 to 10x more B2B reach than company pages. The algorithm still favors people who show up consistently.

Free since 2014

Google Business Profile

The Google Map Pack shows three businesses for every local search. A fully optimized profile is what gets you into those three spots.

Free since 2008

Directory backlinks

Each free directory listing adds a permanent backlink to your site. 25+ listings compound your search authority for years.

Free since 2005

YouTube and video

YouTube is the second largest search engine. One video per month distributed across 6 platforms creates 72 placements per year.

Free forever

Email outreach

The only channel where you go to the prospect. Signature CTAs, monthly newsletters, and data backed alert emails. All free, all in the playbook.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need marketing experience?

No. Every concept (keywords, SEO, backlinks, CPC, conversion rates) is explained in plain language the first time it appears. The playbook was written for technical professionals, not marketers.

Does it cost anything to follow the playbook?

No. All 12 tactics are free. There is no paid advertising, no premium tools, and no hidden costs in the system itself.

How much time does it take per week?

10 to 13 hours per week after the initial setup week. The playbook includes a daily schedule showing exactly where those hours go, broken down by day of the week.

Can I assign this to a team member?

Yes. The step by step format and daily calendar make it possible to delegate the entire system without needing to explain the strategy behind every task.

Is this only for DMARC services?

The playbook is built around DMARC specifically. However, the marketing framework (content, SEO, social, video, directories, outreach) applies to any MSP service line. Many partners use it as their overall marketing system.

What if I have already done some of these tactics?

Start where you are. The playbook is modular. Skip what you have already completed and follow the 90 day calendar from your starting point.

What is the 90 Day Money Back Guarantee?

A separate program tied to the EasyDMARC MSP subscription. Subscribe, follow the playbook for 90 days, and if it does not produce a measurable pipeline, you get your subscription refunded.
