Ohio Website Maintenance Services

Our Ohio Web Maintenance Services

Web maintenance is a reactive support service that connects you with the right website designer to fix nearly any site issue. These are some examples of website errors that Ohio website maintenance agencies might fix:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Installing app or plugin updates to improve security and functionality.
• Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
• Freshen up your blog with new content.
• Rearranging the navigation menu of your Ohio website.
• Improving page speed to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Backing up your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your website.
• Fixing site audit errors or Google Search Console coverage issues.
• Improving technical SEO by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing a solution to any other website problem.

Those services are just a taste of what Ohio web maintenance might look like. In fact, Ohio web maintenance is really anything a website designer or internet marketing specialist does to your website to change it in some manner.

Our website maintenance and support agency is happy to provide Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Hamilton, Kettering, Lakewood, Newark, Springfield, Toledo, and Youngstown with fast website support services.

Pricing for Ohio Web Maintenance

While our web maintenance plans have a starting rate of $119.50/hour, pre-purchased blocks of time can bring the cost down to as low as $99.95/hour.

By obtaining a web maintenance retainer, you can avoid long-term contracts, hidden fees, minimum deductions, and 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.

We will provide you with a monthly update on the remaining time balance of your pre-purchased website support retainer to keep you informed of your usage.

Our Ohio Website Management Plans

Are you fed up with receiving regular upgrade alerts? Are you anxious about the potential for website downtime? Allow our web development team to alleviate your concerns through proactive website management!

The following is a rundown of the features included in our website management plans:

1.) Proactive Site Updates

With our in-house team of website consultants, we are capable of performing platform updates, template updates, and plugin/extension updates for WordPress or WooCommerce websites on a monthly or quarterly schedule!

1. Backup: To begin, we create backups of both your website files and database.
2. Update: Following that, we manually install any upgrades that are available for your website.
3. Site Testing: After installing the upgrades, we verify your website for any issues.
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.

2.) Remote Website Backups

To help mitigate the risk of data loss, we maintain remote backups of both your website and database.

3.) Site Uptime Monitoring

We monitor your website for service outages using our uptime monitoring system.

In the event of your website going down, an alert will be sent to our web designers, who will then investigate the issue.

Our website management plans are available with monthly and quarterly options. This gives you the flexibility to select the frequency at which our team performs remote backups and installs website updates.

The Platforms We Maintain for Ohio Websites

For Ohio businesses, we have a team of web designers and web developers who have experience with multiple platforms. Nevertheless, mastering a handful of platforms is better than trying to be an expert on everything. For that reason, our website maintenance firm for Ohio websites tends to service only the following platforms:

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

In the past, we provided web maintenance and support for Joomla and Magento platforms of Ohio small businesses. However, we chose to move away from those platforms to allow our web maintenance experts to focus more heavily on training and support within the other systems.

Example Website Maintenance Service List for Ohio Organizations

We're often asked for examples of Ohio website support requests after a website launches. We've performed these Ohio website maintenance services in the past and would be happy to do it for you too!

Basic Ohio Website Changes

A simple change to your Ohio website might include updating a paragraph on a page, swapping out an image, or adding a new page. Keeping content fresh for search engines and visitors is just normal, routine website maintenance.

Ohio Site Speed Improvements

If your Ohio website isn't running as fast as it once was, we can review your website for hosting issues, caching problems, unoptimized images, browser errors, broken links, poor queries, and much more. This will help improve page load times, which are beneficial to UX and SEO.

Platform Upgrades / Security Fixes

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

Plugin / Extension Updates

It's important to upgrade plugins and extensions on your Ohio 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 concerns.

Google Search Console Fixes

Did you get a report from Google Search Console telling you about a coverage issue? If so, we can fix the coverage glitches, and let you know how it went. Make Google happy, and you'll rank higher throughout Ohio and beyond!

Setup Structured Data

Have you ever noticed information like reviews or product prices in the listing of a Google organic search result? 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 small business in Ohio, and ecommerce product or some other common data type.

Add Open Graph Tags on Your Website

Adding Open Graph Tags to your site will help search engines better understand your page content and improve the appearance of your website in social media platforms when people share links of your Ohio small business.

Setup Google Tag Manager

Are you interested in adding Google Tag Manager to your website to help you manage custom scripts more easily? Not a problem! We can add Google Tag Manager to your Ohio website and even give you a crash course in using Google Tag Manager.

Implement Conversion Tracking

If you are interested in understanding the benefit of the website advertising service for your Ohio website, it is important to setup conversion tracking. This will help you understand where your conversions are coming from, such as a Google search or a Bing Ads campaign.

Optimize Images

Are large images slowing down your Ohio website? No problem at all! 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

Do you want to try live chat on your website? 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 Ohio business!

Review Error Log Files

Have you noticed large error_log files on your hosting account? We can help diagnose the issue and update programming code or repair platform issues to prevent recurring error messages.

Integrate reCaptcha on Contact Forms

If spambots are attacking your Ohio 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 Ohio website, but not sure how to properly configure the settings for best website speed? 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 site platform to send emails through an SMTP account instead of PHP mail.

Restrict IP Addresses

Is your Ohio 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 Ohio 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 update 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 tweaks based on statistical data regarding how users interact with your Ohio 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 Ohio website. We've seen businesses in and around Ohio 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 tweaks to your Ohio website? If your Ohio site was developed in a platform we work within, such as Shopify or WordPress, we'll be happy to help!

Questions to Ask Ohio Website Maintenance Agencies

If you're thinking about signing up for any Ohio website support package, make sure you ask the firm how their services work. By doing this, you'll be able to better understand your relationship with the Ohio web maintenance team before you give them money or give them access to your website. Let's go over some easy questions to ask:

• How do you handle website security? Do you run security scans of customer websites?
• What's the delivery time for Ohio website maintenance?
• Are you outsourcing your Ohio web support plans?
• What are your Ohio web maintenance costs?
• Do you have minimum deductions or minimum billable expenses for Ohio website updates?
• Can you tell me what your normal business hours are?
• When there are new upgrades on my platform, will you let me know?

We find it beneficial to run these questions by any Ohio site services agency before subscribing to their web maintenance 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.
