There was a problem hiding this comment. 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win Correct the MSP agency pricing source. Line 141 combines Tech Pro Marketing audit information with pricing and revenue-band figures from a different source. Lines 139-140 emit only Tech Pro Marketing in the generated source list. Tech Pro Marketing states a $1,000-$6,000 monthly marketing-budget fit and $50,000 MRR fit. It does not publish the stated $3,000 flat rate or $500,000 revenue cutoff. The 100Signals comparison contains those figures, but it was updated on June 4, 2026, not August 2026. Add both sources to the row, or use only first-party facts. Correct the month in Line 256.

| - OpenClaw Audit lists $2,000 and $5,000 AI automation audit packages with a 48-hour turnaround. | ||
| - WebFX, SmartSites, Ignite Visibility, and Thrive all position as multi-channel agencies across SEO, PPC, paid social, email, CRO, analytics, content, reputation, and web work. | ||
| - MarketHire and GoodFirms pricing guides put serious full-service retainers into the $5,000-$25,000+/month zone depending on scope, channels, and seniority. | ||
| - MSP marketing agencies sell audit-led entry: Tech Pro Marketing audits current marketing on a free growth call and runs a flat $3,000/month retainer for MSPs above $500K revenue; 100Signals' August 2026 comparison (https://100signals.com/best-marketing-agencies-for-managed-service-providers/) puts MSP-focused retainers from $549-$25,000/month, with an entry band of $549-$4,497. | ||
| - MSP website/SEO audit packages start low: JoomConnect includes a website audit and keyword research in every SEO tier from $300-$1,800/month and opens with a free SEO audit. | ||
| - Free MSP-focused audits are a crowded entry point: JoomConnect, Managed Prospecting System, and 100Signals all give away MSP-specific audits (SEO, marketing authority, AI visibility) to open sales conversations. | ||
| - MSP marketing subscriptions undercut agencies: MSP Marketing Edge offers a free trial then $199/month (US) with no contract, plus a free marketing scorecard. | ||

Becauseexport-market-benchmark.mjsderives the generated date from the run date, committing these files as regenerated while retaining August 6 gives readers false provenance for the newly added market claims; regenerate the artifacts using the August 10 clock or otherwise update their generation metadata consistently.Useful?
