Being in the SEO and Web space for over 15years, I’ve worked with many small business owners who rely heavily on their websites to drive traffic and revenue. It was common for clients to return month after month with maintenance requests, often paying over $1,000 a month for basic updates—yet their websites still weren’t performing at full potential. Watching this, I knew there were critical changes they could make to drastically improve their website’s performance and yes, even organic search engine ranking. It was frustrating, and I knew I had to find a better solution. That’s why I created the UNLIMITED WP Maintenance Package.
Through these experiences, it became clear that while fresh content is important for SEO, the key to improving search engine rankings lies in having a fast and secure website. Unfortunately, many business owners don’t understand this crucial aspect. They don’t realize that performance, security, and updates are intertwined with WordPress functionality. In essence, a website that’s not regularly updated and optimized won’t perform as well, even with new content.
That’s why we created the Unlimited WP Maintenance Package—a solution designed to provide comprehensive, ongoing maintenance that covers the key factors businesses need to succeed online.
Here’s what you need to know about maintaining your WordPress website:
WP Plugins Need Constant Updating
WordPress websites rely heavily on plugins to provide functionality. On average, a WordPress website tends to have 20 to 30 plugins installed. Each of these plugins typically needs to be updated 3 to 4 times a year. That adds up to between 60 to 120 updates annually—just for plugins alone. Failing to update these plugins regularly can leave your site vulnerable to security risks and performance issues.
