So here’s your go to guide on what you can expect in your next report and if you don’t have a maintenance contract here’s a sneak peek of what you’re missing out on.

MAINTENANCE

 

MAINTENANCE

 

The maintenance section shows the monthly “housekeeping” items that have been completed. Each week, we create a backup of your site and upload it to Dropbox so there is always a recent copy of your site available should some unforeseen emergency occur and your site needs to be restored quickly. We monitor your uptime daily so if there’s a problem and your site goes down we will know immediately and be able to restore it. Whenever you add new content/pages to a site in order to have them show up in search engine results, the search engine needs to know they exist. They do this by either sending out “spiders’ to crawl through the web looking for new pages, or by receiving a map of the content on your site to update their index. We take care of this for your each month, submitting the update map to them ensuring they have the most recent list of content .

 

SECURITY

 

SECURITY

Security is always important in maintaining your website and each month we perform a number of checks to keep your site from falling prey to any attacks. We run a monthly Sucuri Malware Scan to make sure there is no malware (malicious software) threatening your site and we verify via Google Webmasters that your site is clean. We also scan for any hacker attempts and add them to your Hacker Blacklist as well as any spam email forms.
