Our Michigan Website Maintenance Packages

We see website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Michigan small business with the right website developer resources to fix just about any problem. There are many examples of website concerns that might require service from Michigan web maintenance agencies, including:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Keeping apps and plugins updated for better security and functionality.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Staying fresh with new blog content.
• Rearranging your Michigan website's navigation menu.
• Making your page faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Take backups of your website's files and databases.
• Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
• Fixing site audit errors or Google Search Console coverage issues.
• Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Investigating the cause and providing a solution to any other website issue.

These are just a few of the Michigan web maintenance services we offer. Basically, Michigan website maintenance is anything a web developer or internet advertising expert does to change your website.

Our web maintenance and support company is happy to provide Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Sterling Heights, Taylor, and Troy with fast website support services.

Pricing for Michigan Web Maintenance

The cost of our website maintenance packages begins at $119.50/hour, but discounts are available for pre-purchased blocks of time, which can lower the hourly rate to as low as $99.95.

With the purchase of a website maintenance retainer, there are no hidden fees, contracts, minimum deductions, or expirations.

Kindly note that we seldom encounter tasks that take less than 10 minutes to complete, as reviewing an email or receiving a phone call, working on the task, providing feedback, and logging the task usually requires at least 10 minutes.

Our team will furnish you with a monthly update to inform you of the remaining time balance on your pre-purchased web maintenance retainer, ensuring that you stay aware of your usage.

The Platforms We Maintain for Michigan Websites

With years of experience developing websites for Michigan organizations (and those in other areas of the country), our web designers and web developers have been immersed in multiple platforms. That said, it is better to become a master of a handful of platforms rather than try to specialize in them all. For that reason, our website support company for Michigan websites tends to service only the following platforms:

• Michigan WordPress Website Maintenance
• Michigan WooCommerce Web Support
• Michigan Shopify Website Support

We've managed Joomla and Magento platforms for Michigan organizations in the past. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our web maintenance professionals could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

Example Web Support Service List for Michigan Businesses

After the launch of a website, we're often asked for detailed examples of Michigan web maintenance requests. Here are several examples of Michigan website maintenance services we've been asked to perform in the past and would be more than happy to provide to you!

Basic Michigan Website Changes

Changes to your Michigan website could be as basic as updating a paragraph, swapping images, or adding a new page. These are just normal, routine web support duties to keep content fresh for both search engines and visitors.

Michigan Website Performance Improvements

We can analyze your Michigan website for hosting problems, caching concerns, unoptimized images, console errors, broken links, poor queries, and more if it's slow. User experience and SEO will both benefit from better page load times.

Platform Upgrades / Security Updates

If your Michigan website is running on a content management system, like WordPress, it is important to keep the platform updated. This helps improve security and functionality - sometimes the updates are relatively quick to perform, which is a win-win!

Extension / Plugin Upgrades

If your Michigan website has functionality developed and maintained by a third-party, it is important to upgrade those plugins and extensions to include the latest changes by the developers. It's similar to updating the CMS platform since it helps patch security and functionality issues.

Google Search Console Issues

Did Google Search Console tell you about a coverage problem? If so, we'll look at the coverage problems, fix them, and update you on the status. This will help your search engine placements, throughout Michigan and beyond, by making Google happy!

Setup Structured Data

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 area small business in Michigan, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.

Implement Open Graph on Your Website

When people share links of your Michigan company on social media, your website will look better if you add Open Graph Tags. These tags help define an image, title, and description for each page on your website.

Add Google Tag Manager

Interested in using Google Tag Manager for managing custom scripts? Not a problem! We can add Google Tag Manager to your Michigan website and even give you a crash course in using Google Tag Manager.

Setup Conversion Tracking

If you are interested in understanding the benefit of the digital marketing plan for your Michigan website, it is important to setup conversion tracking. Then you'll know where your conversions come from, whether it be direct traffic, organic search, or paid advertising.

Image Optimization

Is your Michigan website slow because of large images? That won't be a problem! We can run all your images through our image compression tools and even setup recurring image compression for newly added images in the future!

Setup Live Chat

Is your website ready for live chat? We can make recommendations on the best live chat systems for your business requirements, install the tracking code, and configure the design to match the branding of your Michigan business!

Resolve Errors in Log Files

Do you have a lot of error_log files on your hosting account? To stop recurring error messages, we can diagnose the problem and update programming code.

Integrate reCaptcha on Contact Forms

If spambots are attacking your Michigan website, we can setup a checkbox or invisible reCaptcha to help minimize unwanted submissions on your forms.

Setup a Caching Plugin

Are you interested in installing a caching plugin in your Michigan website, but not sure how to properly configure the settings for best site performance? We can help recommend caching plugins, or just install and configure them for you!

Setup SMTP Email

To help improve email deliverability, we can configure your contact form and website platform to send emails through an SMTP account instead of PHP mail.

Restrict IP Addresses

Is your Michigan website being bombarded with fake orders, contact submissions or live chats from a specific network? We can help setup IP restrictions to prevent malicious traffic from interacting with your website.

Create Website Backups

Do you want to create a backup of your Michigan website? We can help you create one-time or scheduled backups that store locally or at an offsite location.

Create a Development Website

It is often recommended that you setup a development or staging website before proceeding with a major upgrade or extension installation. If you'd like help creating and managing that development / staging site, just let us know!

Implement A/B Testing

Do you prefer to make design changes based on statistical data regarding how users interact with your Michigan web page? If so, we can help you implement A/B testing to gather data to help inform you of the best choice between two or more design layouts.

Create 301 Redirects

Are you launching a new website or removing pages from your website? You should create 301 redirects for your Michigan website. We've seen businesses in and around Michigan lose huge amounts of organic traffic due to widespread broken pages. We can help you create 301 redirects within .htaccess files, nginx templates, and CMS platforms.

Provide Website Training

Do you need help learning how to make edits to your Michigan website? If your Michigan website was developed in a platform we work within, such as Shopify or WordPress, we'll be happy to help!

Questions to Ask Michigan Web Maintenance Companies

Ask the Michigan web support agency some questions about their services before you sign up for a package. This will help you get a better idea of the relationship you will have with the Michigan web maintenance team before you give them money, provide them website access, and give them complete access to your website for one of their website support packages. Let's go over some easy questions to ask:

• Can you tell me how you handle website security? Do you run website security scans for businesses?
• What is the turnaround time for Michigan web maintenance requests?
• Is your Michigan website maintenance outsourced?
• How much does Michigan web support cost?
• Are there any minimum deductions or minimum billable expenses for Michigan website updates?
• At what times of the day are you working and able to take our maintenance requests?
• Will you keep me informed about new updates within my platform?

We find it beneficial to run these questions by any Michigan website services company before subscribing to their web support packages, since it will provide much better understanding for you regarding the future relationship, the security of your website, and the expected turnaround time for important maintenance requests.
