What is website maintenance?
Whether you have an existing website or you are about to begin a small business website design project, protecting your online presence is vital.
Website maintenance is keeping your website in good order by removing any errors you may find and maintaining a good level of page speed for your visitors.
You or a professional website manager like me will spot these issues by monitoring your website constantly.
A website manager will also be able to react to changes outside of your control (such as a Google update or drop in rankings) and new links being added.
Regular monitoring of your website will offer the best level of support for your ongoing SEO campaign and as you improve your website, it will continue to climb the search engine results pages and gain more traffic.
Why is website maintenance important?
When prospective customers search for products and services small businesses like yours offer, it is your online presence you want them to visit, and this takes time and hard work.
As they notice your website, you need to get these visitors to click your links so they can buy your products and services, not an easy task but one that you have managed.
When that visitor clicks your link in the search engines you want them to land on the right page and have a trouble-free visit that will lead to converting them into a customer.
If they hit an issue such as;
- A slow loading page
- Images that do not display
- Broken links
- Poor mobile display
- Mistakes in your copy such as grammar and misspelt words
In most cases, this will lead to the visitor leaving your website never to return.
A company offering a website maintenance service (such as mine) will ensure that no such errors exist on your website.
This will increase the prospect of turning this visitor into a new customer.

Why would I outsource my website maintenance?
The vast majority of website owners already carry out vital maintenance regularly.
Some carry it out in-house whilst other’s partner with people such as myself, who manage websites professionally.
For the few that do nothing yet, they may wonder why do I need to maintain my website now it is live?
Once you publish your website, the work is just beginning
Many business owners invest heavily when they outsource design and content building of the company website. Once the euphoria of the launch has passed, it leaves many waiting for that next order.
There are ways to shorten the wait, but for many, that would involve investing heavily in advertising.
But there is another way to increase visibility and gain more online customers which often yields a better return on your investment.
That way is a routine of website maintenance carried out by a professionally qualified website manager.
Discover why website maintenance is important
It’s no secret.
Website maintenance and its average cost offer one of the best, long-term return on investments than many other online marketing strategies as it forms the basis of any successful SEO campaign.
Many people wonder how much it will cost to outsource their site management and what tasks it involves.
I carry out over 750 checks regularly when conducting my audits.
You want to be building your business not working on your website, this is where outsourcing comes into its own.
To give you a brief idea of how much work it involves, here is an average profile taken from my current work diary,
- On average I update over 250 plugins per month for my partner sites
- I block, on average 25 suspect IP addresses daily
- I monitor over 1,250 emails per day
- Over 95% of spam never hits my partners’ inbox
- I respond to all work requests within 2 hours of receipt
Do not leave your website at risk
OK, forget the websites, let’s give you an everyday comparison to consider
Open up your laptop, desktop or tablet device and roll it back to the factory settings.
Once done, please go into your settings and DISABLE your operating system updates!
Have you done it? Course you haven’t! That would be madness.
You would leave your devices open to all kinds of problems.
All because your system is out of date and your device is at risk of infection from hackers, viruses and worms.
Now look at your website and answer these questions honestly…
- What does your copyright notice say at the bottom of your page? Bet it isn’t current.
- On your team page, how many of your ‘staff’ are still working for you?
- Are your prices still the same now as they were in 2009?
- Using a C.M.S.? Is it the latest version?
- When did you last scan your local machines for adware and malware?
- When did you last back up your website?
- Are your customers enjoying reading the same content you published x years ago?
- How many times have your customers complimented you for an article you added?
- Has your turnover increased massively online since you launched your website?
