MAINTENANCE, SECURITY & LOCAL SEO Website Care Plans

After years of website design & development, I started noticing a need for an after-launch solution for website management support. Once your website is live, it’s important to protect it from malware and hacks, maintain up-to-date tools and content, and optimize your website speed & presence in search results. Through these website maintenance, security & search engine optimization (SEO) Care Plan options, I take on the tedious task of managing all these complexities so you can focus on growing your business!

Let's Break it Down

Here’s a snapshot of the key components that make these website Care Plans invaluable:

MALWARE REMOVAL
If your website is breached or hacked in any way while on a care plan, I will remove any malware and restore the website. You will not need to do a thing.

CLOUD-BASED WEBSITE BACKUPS (optional)
Backing up your website consistently is critical for many reasons but most importantly, if the site should need to be restored, transferred or downloaded, external backups are available for all clients without taking up valuable server storage space.

DETECT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY
Keep tabs on your sites’ traffic and activity, and keep an eye on “up time” to ensure your site is accessible.

PLUGIN & THEME UPDATES
Just like your phone has software updates, your website needs to be updated too. Out-of-date plugins are the #1 leading cause of website hacks.

MONTHLY REPORTING
A monthly report includes tasks completed as well as SEO goals & metrics– broken down in English (not tech-speak).

WEBSITE PROTECTION
Firewalls protect against potential hacks, malware, and attacks. Preventing suspicious activity ensures unwanted headaches of a breached website.

AUTO PRIVACY POLICY
Every website should have an up-to-date privacy policy which protects you from new privacy laws. Partner with Termaggedon (a tool with
auto-updating legal policies that generate automatically) at a discounted rate. All plans include policy implementation onto your website.

WEBSITE SPEED
Improving your website speed with caching and a global content delivery network (CDN) boosts Google rankings & improves website user experience.

LOCAL SEO
Making sure your website can be found on search engines involves lots of optimization on & off your website. Read more below ⇓

PERSONAL CONSULTATIONS
Keeping monthly tabs on your website gives you the ability to consult with me for insightful strategy, marketing ideas and conversion best practices to implement on your website.

Local SEO Search Engine Optimization

Let’s make sure that your potential clients are finding your business at exactly the right time that they need you!

Google Business Profile Optimization

I will claim and optimize your GBP. By analyzing your local competitors and creating a complete profile that includes up-to-date information, keywords in the right spots, and the newest best practices, your GBP will rank higher in local organic & map searches.

KEYWORD LIST CREATION & IMPLEMENTATION

We’ll research & create a list of keywords and improve areas of the website such as: metadata, image alt text, URL renaming, schema coding and more.

Content Creation

Up-to-date content on your website is a must for your potential clients & search engines. Care plan clients (excluding the Gold plan) have access complimentary time for ongoing website updates, additions or changes! You will also get a periodically updated list of suggested blog topics based on user search terms & search trends.

Online Directory Submissions

Search engines view consistency as an indicator for trustworthiness. That’s why it’s important that your Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) is correct on many different online directories with no duplicates. I will clean up any listings you already have & submit your business to 25 more directories.

Online Review Acquisition & Management

It is more important now than ever to have a lot of positive & current online reviews on websites like Google, Facebook, and Yelp. You will also have access to landing pages that will help gather more positive reviews.

Monthly Reports

We will work together to ensure that your custom analytics report is an effective tool to guide your marketing efforts by making sure we are tracking data for your business goals. For Diamond plan clients, we will take a closer look at user behavior. This will guide you towards better layouts and content insights.

The Risk of Not Having Your Site Properly Maintained

Website Hack

If your website isn’t maintained and protected, it’s not a question of “if” but “when” a hack will occur.

Poor Performance

If your website isn’t optimized, it’ll perform and load slower as times goes on affecting conversions and sales.

No Backups

If your website isn’t consistently backed up, you could completely lose your website’s content and progress when a breach happens.

SEO IMPLICATIONS

If your website isn’t maintained and optimized, Google knows and ranks active sites higher on the results page.

WEBSITE LEGITIMACY

If your website has any glaring issues such as a down SSL Certificate or notices of an unsecured connection, it affects traffic and brand legitimacy.

IT’S ALL ON YOU

By not having your website cared for monthly, everything I cover in our plan is on you and will cost you in tools, time and unneeded stress.

The Good News is... I've Got You Covered!

You don’t have to maintain & optimize your own website and go it alone.

There are multiple plan options for your website so you can rest easy. I’ll take care of these complex, confusing
and ever-evolving issues in the digital world that you shouldn’t have to focus on! I want to make sure you have
the perfect website Care Plan for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Website Care Plan and why do I need one?

A Website Care Plan is an ongoing service that keeps your website secure, updated, and running smoothly long after launch. It covers all the behind-the-scenes tasks like software updates, security monitoring, backups, and performance checks — so you can focus on your business without worrying about the technical details.

A care plan ensures your website stays fast, safe, and reliable for your visitors. It also gives you peace of mind knowing that any issues or updates are handled quickly and professionally. Depending on the plan you chose, you’ll receive a monthly allotment of time for updates and security and/or analytics reports. 

If you ever need more extensive updates, you’ll benefit from a reduced hourly rate as part of your plan — plus, you’ll always have a trusted point of contact who knows your site inside and out.

Our Website Care Plans cover everything you need to keep your site secure, updated, and running smoothly, including:

  • Security & monitoring: malware removal, uptime checks, and firewall protection

  • Updates: WordPress core, plugins, and themes

  • Backups: cloud-based site backups for peace of mind

  • Content updates: monthly hours included for changes or edits

  • Monthly reports: clear updates on work completed and site performance

  • Priority access: faster response times and strategic consultations

These services ensure your website stays safe, functional, and optimized — so you can focus on your practice, not technical upkeep.

Not at all! I understand that everyone has different needs and priorities. Every custom web design project includes multiple post‑launch options. You can choose a Website Care Plan so you don’t have to worry about maintenance, or opt for training and tutorials so you feel confident managing your site yourself.

Nope! All website care plans have an option to be billed monthly or annually. In the unlikely event that you want to pull your site from the plan, you have the complete freedom to do so. We will finish out the month/year and then your plan will not renew.

If I built your website, there is no set up fee as long as it’s within a 90 day period!

If, after 90 days, you’d like to join one of the plans at any level, there is a $99 set up fee in order to update all tools, clean up the database, install security tools, and backup the site.

If I did not build your website, there is a $250 setup fee. The upfront work to update the site, learn the tools and get it ready to be properly maintained is more intensive.

In the extremely unlikely event that a website is breached or hacked in any way while on our plan, we take full responsibility and will rectify the situation immediately. You will not need to do a thing.

If you’d like to join our plan and have us take care of getting the hack cleaned, we have a $499 site cleaning & set up fee. Depending on the type of hack/breach and how long the site has been compromised, SEO rankings and blacklisting issues may take weeks or even months to resolve.

Important note: I do not fix website hacks unless the site will subsequently be added to a care plan.

Negative on this one, ghost rider. The retainer of hourly updates is covered for that month but does not rollover or add up for later use.

Monthly time for updates covers any additions or add-ons to your website. Ex: changing hours, company information, staff or team members, adding new photos, updating services pages, etc.

I always do my best to complete your updates within your monthly included time to help you avoid extra costs. If your request requires more time than what’s included, you’ll be billed at a reduced hourly rate — one of the perks of being on a Website Care Plan! After each update is completed, you’ll receive an email confirming the work done and how much time it took, so you always know exactly how much time remains for the month.
