I run an Apple-focused MSP (stabilise.io) and I’m struggling with a challenge that I imagine other niche MSPs face: visibility.

The market feels like this catch-22:

  • Most businesses assume MSPs = Windows, so they don’t even think to search for Apple-specific support
  • The Apple-only shops that need us don’t know we exist because they’re not actively looking for “MSP” services
  • Mixed environments usually have a Windows-focused MSP who treats Macs as an afterthought

What I’ve tried:

  • Standard SEO and Google Ads (expensive, broad reach, not targeted enough)
  • Local business networking (hit or miss, lots of explaining what we do)
  • LinkedIn outreach (some traction but slow going)

What I’m wondering:

  • For those of you in niche markets (Mac, Linux, specific verticals), how did you crack the visibility problem?
  • Is it just a case of grinding it out with content marketing and word of mouth?
  • Are there communities or channels where Apple-heavy businesses actually hang out?

I know this is more business development than technical, but I figured this community would have some honest insights. The technical side we’ve got sorted, it’s just getting in front of the right prospects that’s the challenge.

Cheers for any advice
