Massachusetts has 951 published IT service providers listed in the directory, a figure that places the state among the larger entries in a national dataset covering all 50 states and 43,995 published firms in total.
The Massachusetts listings are concentrated in a handful of cities. The state's top cities by provider count are Boston, Burlington, Woburn, Worcester, and Marlborough. Boston anchors the list, consistent with its role as the state's largest metro area, while Burlington, Woburn, Worcester, and Marlborough round out the cluster of cities with the heaviest concentration of listed providers.
Of the 951 Massachusetts providers, 453 carry a Google rating in the directory. That leaves a majority of the state's listings without a rating attached, which is common across directories of this kind where not every provider has an associated review profile. Among the Massachusetts providers that do carry a rating, the median rating is 5.00, matching the median rating of 5.00 found across the national dataset of 43,995 providers.
On size, the median Massachusetts provider in the directory reports 10 employees. That compares to a national median of 9 employees across all 43,995 published providers, suggesting Massachusetts providers in this dataset skew slightly larger at the midpoint than the national figure, though the difference is modest.
Nationally, the dataset spans all 50 states with 43,995 published IT service providers and covers 778 metro areas. The five states with the most listed providers are California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Virginia, meaning Massachusetts sits outside the top five by raw count even though it contributes a sizable share of its own regional cluster through Boston and the surrounding cities named above.
Across the full national dataset, 19,906 providers carry a Google rating out of 43,995 total, and 348 providers list pricing information. These figures describe the broader population from which the Massachusetts subset is drawn, and they help frame how the state's own rating coverage of 453 out of 951 compares in proportion to what is seen nationally.
The national dataset also recorded 12,358 signals over the most recent 30-day window, a measure of recent directory activity across all 43,995 published providers. That figure applies to the national population as a whole and is not broken out separately for Massachusetts in the numbers available here.
Taken together, the Massachusetts data shows a state with 951 published IT service providers organized around a small number of hub cities, led by Boston alongside Burlington, Woburn, Worcester, and Marlborough. The rating behavior in Massachusetts, where the median among rated providers is 5.00, mirrors the national median exactly, even though fewer than half of the state's listed providers carry a rating at all. On size, the typical Massachusetts provider in the directory is slightly larger by employee count than the typical provider nationally, with a median of 10 employees against a national median of 9.
These numbers describe the current state of the published directory rather than any broader claim about the Massachusetts IT services market as a whole. They reflect what has been listed and verified as of this morning's data pull, covering 951 providers in Massachusetts out of 43,995 published nationally across all 50 states and 778 metro areas.
