Keep the Wheels Turning

For so many reasons, a website is vital to helping you build digital brand exposure, stay relevant, and ultimately grow revenue. But, launching that website is only the first step. Unfortunately, just because you have a website doesn’t mean you can kick back and relax. Even the best cars need servicing. A website is no different. 

But, too often, many businesses assume that a great website design will deliver results with little follow-up needed. In reality, regular web maintenance is a must to not only keep your business running smoothly online but also to experience long-term growth. Whether it’s through system updates, security checks, or content management, we’ll help you keep your wheels turning.

Why is Website Maintenance Important?

Website maintenance is a task that is often overlooked. But, it shouldn't be for so many reasons. Why? Glad you asked.

Looking for ways to improve your bottom line? In today’s ever-changing digital landscape, it’s vital to provide fresh, optimized content and imagery. Enhancing the user experience (UX) on your website means engaged visitors, more conversions, and even more revenue. A glitch-free user experience doesn’t stop there, it can also help to drive more traffic, and improve search engine indexing. 

If you’ve put off maintaining your business’ website for a couple years, chances are your site is not optimized for mobile devices. These days, although we shouldn’t even need to remind you, your website also needs to run smoothly on mobile. If your website has an old design or outdated theme, it may not display properly on newer versions of web browsers or mobile devices. Your site’s reputation as a valuable and relevant source of information could be tarnished if you’re presenting outdated content that users have to pinch and zoom in to read. Give them a fresh and exciting experience to keep them coming back for more! The better the user experience, and the more up-to-date your content, the more time your visitors will spend, and the more often they’ll want to visit.

Audience expectations will change over time, but so will your business. As you evolve, so should your website. Whether you’re adding new products, offering different services, targeting a new audience, or moving to a new location, regular web maintenance can help you adjust for those new value propositions. 

Update and upgrade so that your online presence stays dynamic. Besides, your competitors aren’t sitting still so why should you.

Any time you add new content to your site (part of routine maintenance), you’ll drive more traffic and increase search engine rankings.

The more you update your site, the more search engines, like Google and Yahoo, will come back to index your site. On the flip side, a site that is infrequently updated results in much lower rankings. And (gasp) if a search engine suspects your site has been infected with malware, they may even remove it from search results completely.

Your website needs to be well-oiled behind the scenes. Thankfully, many technical problems can be addressed during regular website maintenance. During web maintenance, you can catch and fix these issues. We’ll check for broken links, make sure navigation links are all working and test browser and device compatibility to make sure you don’t lose out on traffic. 

Regular maintenance will ensure that all components, like links, contact forms, images, payment functions and pages are working efficiently for the ultimate in user experience. Ignore your site and you could be losing valuable clients (and not even know it). Overall, it will result in a better user experience and support search engine optimization efforts.

If your brand currently utilizes digital marketing tools like Google analytics and social media, website enhancements can help to further streamline processes. Enhancements can help you track high-performance data, generate more content, improve user experience, and improve workflow while increasing site conversions, and of course, driving more traffic through search engine optimization!

And since marketing insights allow us the ability to display complex data in simple terms for both tech-savvy and nontechnical clients, our team is able to customize and communicate monthly action items enhancing your website, in a way that will generate results for your business.

Website hacks are a real risk. If you’re on the web, you’re at risk. Therefore, one of the most important reasons for maintaining a website is security. If security protocols are not updated, you could experience technical issues that result in website downtime, exposed user data and even compromised ROI. Whether it’s built on WordPress or another platform, regular website maintenance is vital to address these issues and ensure your entire site is backed up, current, safe, and secure.

Hands down, security is the number one reason that you should do whatever it takes to keep your site maintained. It doesn’t matter what content management system you use and it doesn’t matter if you use many plug-ins or have an online store, cybersecurity issues have become a day-to-day struggle for businesses. Just like a thief will look for a home with an unlocked door, hackers actively seek out old websites because they’re simply easier targets. They can serve ads on your website, delete pages, steal content and more.

If you are a tech-wiz and know how to handle this stuff, consider this a friendly reminder to backup your website and perform a malware scan! 

If you’re not sure how to make these updates, it’s important to find a trusted agency who can.

In fact, we know the perfect people…
