Stop launching projects and starting over. A retainer means your digital system keeps compounding — month after month, without you managing it.
Typical engagement: $2k–$5k / month
What's included every month
In plain terms
Website maintenance services keep your site secure, fast, and online 24/7. Our monthly packages include WordPress updates, security monitoring, daily backups, and technical support — plus SEO and content optimization for growing businesses.
Why it works
SEO, content, and authority build on each other month over month. A single project resets to zero. A retainer compounds from day one.
Fixed monthly scope agreed upfront. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no negotiating every task. You know exactly what you get.
Strategy informs content. Content informs SEO. SEO informs development. All four layers working together — not handed off between freelancers.

Case studies
Compounding growth
Each month runs the same rhythm — not repetitive busywork, but a closed loop. Technical fixes, content, experiments, and reporting inform the next priorities so work stacks instead of resetting.
Crawl health, schema, Core Web Vitals, and indexation so search engines and answer engines trust every important URL.
Ship AEO-ready articles, refresh pillars, and tighten internal links so authority flows to pages that earn leads or revenue.
Structured experiments on CTAs, forms, and landing paths — small measurable wins beat one-off redesigns that never get validated.
One monthly narrative tying visibility, content output, and conversion so spend and roadmap stay aligned with business goals.
Scope typically includes technical SEO maintenance, content production cadence, AEO/GEO schema and entity updates, conversion improvements, and monthly reporting. Priorities are agreed in advance and reviewed each month.
Retainers start from $2,000/month and scale by execution volume and technical complexity. Minimum term is three months so strategy, implementation, and measurement can produce meaningful outcomes.
Yes. Many clients begin with a focused scope around highest-impact pages or funnels, then expand once baseline KPIs improve and internal capacity allows.
Reporting includes technical health, visibility, content output, conversion-path metrics, and next-month priorities. The focus is on lead/revenue impact, not vanity metrics.
Yes. The model is designed for both: urgent technical issues are handled quickly, while a structured roadmap keeps long-term growth work moving without interruption.
One-off projects solve isolated tasks. A retainer compounds outcomes by continuously aligning development, SEO, content, and conversion improvements under one system.
Website maintenance services include regular updates, security monitoring, backups, and technical support to keep your site running 24/7. Without maintenance, sites become vulnerable to security breaches, slow loading times, and unexpected downtime that costs you leads and revenue.
Published WordPress and WooCommerce care plans start at $150/month (Starter Care) for updates, backups, and monitoring — see the WordPress maintenance page for Starter, Business, and WooCommerce Care tiers. Monthly growth retainers that bundle SEO, content, conversion work, and technical maintenance start at $2,000/month. Custom quotes apply for unusual complexity.
Care-plan maintenance includes weekly WordPress core and plugin updates (staging-first where needed), security scanning and monitoring, daily automated backups, uptime tracking, and support windows that scale by tier. Business and WooCommerce Care add performance work, faster response, and store monitoring. Growth retainers add SEO monitoring, content cadence, and roadmap-level work on top of that baseline.
Yes. While based in Istanbul, we provide website maintenance services to UK businesses with timezone-friendly support hours. We support clients in London, Edinburgh, and across the UK with the same service level as US and European clients.
One discovery call. We map your current system, identify the highest-leverage gaps, and agree on a scope that compounds from month one. Fractional CTO for growth — one partner, one system.
