After the launch of a website, we're often asked for detailed examples of Massachusetts website maintenance requests. The following are some examples of Massachusetts web support services we've provided in the past.
Your Massachusetts website might need a paragraph updated, an image changed, or a new page added. Keeping content fresh for search engines and visitors is just normal, routine website support.
Let us check your Massachusetts website for hosting, caching, image optimization, console errors, broken links, poor database queries, and other potential problems that might be impacting your page speed. This will help improve page load times, which are beneficial to user experience and search engine optimization.
It's important to keep your Massachusetts website updated if it runs on a CMS like WordPress. Updates help improve security and functionality - and they're usually quick, so it might be a simple task.
It's important to update plugins and extensions on your Massachusetts website if they were developed and maintained by a third-party. The idea is similar to updating the CMS platform since it fixes security and functionality problems.
Has Google Search Console told you there's a coverage problem? If so, we can fix the coverage issues, and let you know how it went. By making Google happy, you'll boost your search engine rankings throughout Massachusetts and beyond!
When you search Google organically, have you noticed reviews or prices in the search results? This is brought to you by structured data, which is a standardized way of describing the content on the web page, whether it be of a local business in Massachusetts, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.
By adding Open Graph Tags to your website, digital platforms can better understand the content of your page, which improves its appearance on social media.

It's important to setup conversion tracking for your Massachusetts website if you want to understand the benefits of online advertising. Then you'll know where your conversions come from, whether it be direct traffic, organic search, or paid ads.

Before you do a major update or extension installation, it's a good idea to setup a development or staging site. Just let us know if you need help creating and managing that development / staging site!
Do you prefer to make design changes based on statistical data regarding how users interact with your Massachusetts web page? We can help you run A/B testing to help you decide which design or content layouts are best.
Do you have a new website or are you removing pages? You will want to create 301 redirects for your Massachusetts website to prevent broken pages from hurting your SEO. Having broken pages will cost your Massachusetts business a lot of organic traffic if they aren't fixed with 301 redirects. We are happy to help you resolve broken pages through the creation of 301 redirects within .htaccess files, nginx templates, and CMS plugins.

With years of experience developing websites for Massachusetts businesses (and those in other areas of the country), our web designers and web developers have been immersed in multiple platforms. Having said that, it's better to master a few platforms than try to specialize in them all. Therefore, we tend to only maintain Massachusetts websites on these platforms:
We've managed Joomla and Magento platforms for Massachusetts businesses in the past. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our website support experts could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

WebCitz offers discounted Massachusetts website maintenance services for clients interested in retaining our services through a pre-purchased block of time.
Example #1: You are an existing client in Massachusetts with a 10-hour block of time ($1,095) on your account. You have a 30-minute phone call with your project manager to discuss tasks, but 15 minutes is spent talking about golf, weather, etc. The task took 40 minutes of work to complete. In this example, you would have 55 minutes deducted from your 10-hour block of time. The time spent talking about non business-related topics isn't billed.
For Massachusetts site owners interested in proactive website and extension updates.
Example #1: You are an existing Massachusetts client with a 10-hour block of time ($1,095) on your account and a monthly website management subscription ($125/mo). During the month of website management, our team logged into your website, performed the necessary upgrades, tested your website's functionality, and reported back to you the website was upgraded without any issues. In this situation, no time would be deducted from your 10-hour block of time.
Example #2: The same situation and process as the first example, but while testing the functionality we discover something has broken. In this example, we would spend 15-20 minutes to attempt resolving the issue, at no charge to you. If we are unable to resolve the issue in that time, we would roll back your website to a previous state. From there, we would discuss resolutions with you that would be subject to time deductions from your 10-hour block of time.
