Site Maintenance is a monthly management plan that keeps websites continuously ranking in searches by using search engine optimization and Google compliance practices. Sites must be regularly managed, updated, and maintained to have an effective digital presence.
A member of our experienced team will log in to your site at minimum once a month to update plugins, themes, and core files — fixing any incompatibilities and ensuring your site continues to perform as it should. We test contact forms, execute emergency fixes when needed, and give our monthly maintenance clients up to an hour of development work each month.
Our in-house specialist ensures that all plugins are updated monthly to keep your site functioning optimally. We will replace plugins if needed and resolve conflicts as technology changes.
We ensure that core platform files are up-to-date (WordPress, etc.) and that themes are kept current whenever possible. Updates keep your site secure and ensure maximum compatibility with plugins.
We run monthly scans on your site to ensure that we’re in compliance with Google and that there are no concerning site load issues or other things that might affect your rankings or accessibility.
Occasionally things break on your site. We’ll fix broken components and troubleshoot issues to keep your site looking good and functioning as it should. Monthly audits also help us identify broken links and other issues that we’ll fix.
Contact forms are not guaranteed to continuously work. With various updates and server configuration changes, forms can stop working at any time without notice. We ensure that your customers can reach you.
We provide a license for spam filtering for all our monthly customers. We’ll work to implement additional measures as needed to help keep you as spam-free as possible.
Our monthly plans include fully-managed economy hosting as well as an SSL (security) certificate. We keep basic backups of your site to get you back up and running again should your site ever become corrupted.
We like to make sure our monthly customers are well taken care of. We offer priority phone and email support to get you taken care of as quickly as possible. Most simple requests are turned around within 24 hours.
Have some minor updates to your site or need a new product added to your eCommerce store? All our monthly customers get an hour of development time included if needed. Additional hours are billed at a reduced rate from non-monthly customers.
We add Peachtree Analytics to all our monthly customer’s sites. Anonymous tracking by Peachtree records valuable information about your site’s conversions, making current or future advertising efforts extremely valuable.
When you need additional marketing services, a website rebuild, or even print design, we can help highlight your brand. As a monthly customer, you enjoy our discounted hourly rates and free basic consults for services.
Our monthly maintenance customers benefit from having a full-stack marketing team keeping them looking good month after month!
