Virginia appears among the top five states for IT service provider listings in a national directory that currently includes roughly 40,000 published entries across all 50 states. The ranking of top states by volume is California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Virginia, placing Virginia in a group of states with the highest concentration of listed IT service providers in the country.

This ranking offers a starting point for understanding where IT service providers are headquartered nationally. With coverage spanning all 50 states, the directory captures a wide range of company sizes and service types, and Virginia's position among the top five indicates it holds a meaningful share of the national total of roughly 40,000 listings.

Company Size Nationally

Across the full set of roughly 40,000 published IT service providers, the median number of employees is 9.0. This figure applies to the national dataset as a whole and provides context for the typical size of a listed IT service provider. Because Virginia is one of the states contributing to this national figure, its providers are part of the pool that produces this median, though no state-specific employee figure is available in this dataset.

Google Ratings Across the Directory

Of the roughly 40,000 published providers nationally, 17,997 have a Google rating attached to their listing. Among those with a rating, the median rating is 5.00. This median reflects the full national set of rated providers rather than any single state, but it illustrates the general rating pattern found across listed IT service providers, including those based in states like Virginia that rank in the top five by volume.

Pricing Information

Pricing details are far less common across the directory. Of the roughly 40,000 published providers, only 298 include pricing information in their listing. This low count nationally suggests that most IT service providers, regardless of state, do not publish pricing as part of their public profile.

Recent Activity

The directory recorded 18,221 signals over a 30 day period. This figure reflects overall activity across the national dataset of roughly 40,000 listings and indicates a level of ongoing engagement with provider profiles during that window.

What the Top States List Shows

The list of top states by published listing volume, California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Virginia, represents the five states with the largest share of the roughly 40,000 total. Virginia's inclusion in this list places it alongside the three largest states by population and economic size, suggesting that its IT service provider base is proportionally significant when measured against the national directory as a whole.

This pattern of concentration in a handful of states is consistent with how business directories often reflect broader economic activity. States with large technology, government contracting, or corporate sectors tend to produce higher numbers of listed service providers, and Virginia's position in this top five group is consistent with that general trend.

Summary of the Data

Taken together, the dataset shows a national total of roughly 40,000 published IT service providers spanning all 50 states, with Virginia ranked among the top five states by volume alongside California, Texas, Florida, and New York. Nationally, the median employee count is 9.0, and among the 17,997 providers with a Google rating, the median rating is 5.00. Pricing information remains rare, appearing in only 298 of the roughly 40,000 total listings. Activity in the directory remained measurable, with 18,221 signals recorded over a recent 30 day period.

These figures describe the national dataset as currently published. Virginia's presence in the top five states by listing count is the primary state-specific data point available, and it situates Virginia among the states with the largest base of listed IT service providers in the country.

Correction (October 5, 2026): an earlier version of this article gave the directory size as 40,184. That figure was a display floor, not a measured count. The directory held roughly 40,000 providers on this date.
