Minnesota Website Maintenance Services

Our Minnesota Web Maintenance Services

We see web maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Minnesota company with the right web designer resources to fix just about any problem. There are many examples of website glitches that might require service from Minnesota web maintenance companies, including:

• Updating your site platform.
• Keeping apps and plugins updated for better security and functionality.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Staying fresh with new blog content.
• Rearranging the navigation menu of your Minnesota website.
• Making your page faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Backing up your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your website.
• Fixing website scan concerns or Google Search Console coverage glitches.
• Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website concerns.

Those services are just a taste of what Minnesota website support might look like. Basically, Minnesota web maintenance is anything a website developer or website marketing specialist does to change your website.

Our web maintenance and support company is happy to provide Bloomington, Duluth, Minneapolis, Plymouth, Rochester, St. Paul, and Woodbury with fast site support services.

Pricing for Minnesota Website Maintenance

The cost of our web 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 web maintenance retainer, there are no hidden fees, contracts, minimum deductions, or expirations.

It's important to note that it's uncommon for us to receive tasks that can be completed within less than 10 minutes, as the task review process, responding to emails or phone calls, providing feedback, and logging the task typically take up a minimum of 10 minutes.

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

Our Minnesota Website Management Packages

Are you weary of being continuously notified about available updates? Are you concerned about potential website downtime? Our web development team can mitigate both of your concerns through proactive website management!

Here is a summary of what our website management plans entail:

1.) Proactive Website Upgrades

At our disposal is an in-house team of website specialists who can carry out platform updates, theme updates, and plugin/extension updates on a monthly or quarterly basis for WordPress or WooCommerce websites!

1. Backup: To begin, we create backups of both your website files and database.
2. Upgrades: Next in line, we manually install any updates that are available for your website.
3. Site Testing: After installing the updates, we verify your website for any problems.
4. Finalize: If the upgrades are successful, your website's protection against security threats and malware will be improved! If the updates are unsuccessful, we will have a discussion about the subsequent course of action.

As a precautionary measure to help prevent data loss, we store remote backups of your website and database.

The Platforms We Maintain for Minnesota Websites

With years of experience developing websites for Minnesota businesses (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. Because of that, we tend to service only these platforms for Minnesota websites:

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

In the past, we provided website maintenance and support for Joomla and Magento platforms of Minnesota organizations. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our website support experts could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.

Example Website Maintenance Service List for Minnesota Businesses

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

Basic Minnesota Website Changes

Changes to your Minnesota website could be as basic as updating a paragraph, swapping images, or adding a new page. This is just normal, routine website maintenance to keep content fresh for both search engines and visitors.

Minnesota Page Speed Improvements

If your Minnesota website isn't running as fast as it once was, we can review your website for hosting issues, caching problems, unoptimized images, console errors, broken links, poor queries, and much more. User experience and search engine optimization will both benefit from better page load times.

Platform Updates / Security Fixes

It's important to keep your Minnesota website updated if it runs on a CMS like WordPress. This helps improve security and functionality - sometimes the updates are relatively quick to perform, which is a win-win!

Extension / Plugin Upgrades

It's important to update your Minnesota website's plugins and extensions to reflect the latest changes by the developers. The idea is similar to updating the CMS platform since it fixes security and functionality issues.

Google Search Console Issues

Did you get a report from Google Search Console telling you about a coverage issue? If so, we'll look at the coverage problems, fix them, and update you on the status. By making Google happy, you'll boost your search engine placements throughout Minnesota and beyond!

Implement Structured Data

Have you ever noticed information like reviews or product prices in the listing of a Google organic search result? This is structured data, which is a standardized way to describe the content on a webpage, whether it's a local area Minnesota small business, or an ecommerce product.

Add Open Graph to Your Website

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.

Implement Google Tag Manager

Are you interested in adding Google Tag Manager to your website to help you manage custom scripts more easily? No problem at all! We can add Google Tag Manager to your Minnesota website and even teach you how to use it.

Setup Conversion Tracking

If you are interested in understanding the benefit of the website advertising service for your Minnesota website, it is important to setup conversion tracking. It'll help you understand where your conversions come from, like direct traffic, referral links, organic search, or paid advertising.

Image Compression (Optimization)

Is your Minnesota website slow because of large images? Not 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!

Integrate a Live Chat

Would you like to try live chat? If you'd like us to recommend the best live chat system for your Minnesota business, install the tracking code, and customize the design for your branding, we can do it!

Review Error Log Files

Are your error_log files big? To stop recurring error messages, we can diagnose the problem and update programming code.

Reduce Spam with reCaptcha

We can set up a checkbox or invisible reCaptcha to help minimize unwanted submissions on your Minnesota site.

Setup a Caching Plugin

Looking to install a caching plugin on your Minnesota website, but not sure how to configure it? We can recommend caching plugins, or we can 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota website. We've seen businesses in and around Minnesota 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 changes to your Minnesota website? If your Minnesota website was developed in a platform we work within, such as WordPress or Shopify, we'll be happy to help!

Questions to Ask Minnesota Web Support Companies

Ask the Minnesota web maintenance 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 Minnesota website maintenance team before you give them money, provide them site access, and give them complete access to your website for one of their web maintenance packages. You can ask these easy questions:

• Can you tell me how you handle website security? Do you run website security scans for clients?
• When can I expect an average Minnesota web maintenance request to be completed?
• Is your Minnesota website maintenance outsourced?
• What are your Minnesota web support costs?
• Are there any minimum deductions or minimum billable expenses for Minnesota website updates?
• Can you tell me what your normal business hours are?
• When there are new updates on my platform, will you let me know?

We find it beneficial to run these questions by any Minnesota website services agency before subscribing to their website 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.
