Monthly Website Maintenance Services With Flat Fees Create a Cost Effective Solution to Keeping Your Website Current
Keep your web site up to date with fresh content and Search Engine Optimization. With a monthly website maintenance package from Sleepy Dog Media, you'll never have to worry about your website again.
The Standard Monthly Web Maintenance Services
Website Hosting
Pretty self explanatory. Your site has to be hosted somewhere so it's included on all web maintenance packages.
Unlimited Email Accounts
Whether you have 1 employee or 101, you'll have all the email accounts you need. We can set these up for you or we can set up an administration password to manage the accounts and passwords yourself (if you prefer).
Content Updates¹
Keeping the content fresh and up to date keeps visitors coming back and the search engines give you a better ranking. These updates include the text, photos in the gallery, employee changes, coupons etc... These updates don't have to be each month. You can roll over the hours to a maximum of 12 months.
Web Updates Completed Within 2 Business Days¹
This is a guideline and quite often are completed the same business day. Of course, large updates may take slightly longer.
Monthly Website Backup
All the files from the website, including blog posts & contact form submissions, are backed up to a separate server for safekeeping.
30% Discount On Other Sleepy Dog Media Services
Ready to add additional pages or maybe you need a print piece that matches your website? How about a promotional video? All of these services are 30% off for our web maintenance clients.
Browser Compatibility Testing
Every time a new release of a major browser (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera) comes out, we test your site for any new bugs that may have popped up (in the browser, not your site). If necessary, we make adjustments so your site consistently displays properly in all major browsers.
Page load speed can also play a part of your ranking so we're always finding ways to make your pages load more quickly. (Note: we no longer support or test in Internet Explorer 6)
Search Engine Optimization - get that website found!
Monthly Analytics Reports
The backbone of Search Engine Optimization is your analytics report. You'll not only see how many visitors you had, but how long they stayed, what they read, buttons they pushed, what keywords or referring sites sent them to you.
This report will be sent to you in an easy to read PDF format. It should be carefully reviewed every month by the entire management staff. Understanding how people found your website can also help in your non-web marketing efforts.
Keyword Research and Development
We'll find real world searches so we know what customers are using to find your product or service. After all, it's pointless to optimize your site for a word or phrase unless people actually search for it.
Many disreputable SEO firms will promise you a Page 1 Ranking on Google, but what they don't tell you is that it's for a phrase nobody will be searching. What good is that?
Quarterly SEO Metatag Adjustments
Based on the keyword research above, we'll make adjustments to the metatags of your website. These are the little snippets of code behind the scenes that most web surfers aren't even aware of, but the search engines sure are and they play a big part in your ranking.
SEO - Page Content Changes
Just like the code, search engines will read the content on your page to determine if your site is a 'good fit' for a specific search term. Based again on the research, we make adjustments to your page copy to better present your site for specific searches. These content updates are not part of the standard content updates and will not affect the available hours you have for updates.
SEO Competition Report
Not only do we watch your site and its rankings, but we can keep track of your top 3 competitors as well. After all, just because you have a great ranking today, doesn't mean you will stay in that spot. Your competition may have also hired a professional SEO company and move ahead of you.
Quarterly Online SEO Strategy Meeting
We'll have a quarterly online meeting with you and/or your senior staff to make sure we stay ahead of your competition. If they have somehow jumped ahead of you (Gasp!), we'll figure out how they did it and how we can get you back on top.
The Other Cool Stuff... Seriously, it's awesome!
New website after 36 months for $1.00¹
Holy Cow! Are we kidding?!? No, actually we're not. After 36 months (3 paw or 4 paw packages), we build you a brand new website!
Many clients ask "Why do I need a new website every 3 years if we've been updating it the whole time?" The answer is simply to keep the look fresh. Yes, we've been updating the content the entire time so the information on your site will be excellent, but the web moves & changes quickly so we help you adapt.
For example, the photo gallery we use for your site will be great, but new styles of galleries are always coming available. The looks, fonts, and layout trends can also change, so why not get a complete remodel every 3 years?
Free Support (advising-web related issues)
We receive all types of questions about web related marketing and we normally charge for online meetings to discuss/advise our clients about whether certain opportunities are worthwhile. With this service, you can 'pick our brains' all you want about any web related opportunities that you might be considering.
Email Database Management Fee¹
Email marketing is huge and goes way beyond just a simple text email. You can deliver newsletters, coupons, press releases etc... in beautiful formats. This is a very cost effective method of reaching your customers.
The monthly database fee is to maintain the email list of your clients and is included in our 4 paw package.
SDM Blog Management
Blogs are terrific marketing tools and can drive more traffic to your main site. They must be maintained though and it takes dedication to post consistently.
If you want a blog, but don't have time to write new posts, you may enjoy our blog management. You simply give us the topic and a brief outline and we then write and post it for you. You and/or your staff are also free to add additional posts when you have time.
Email Newsletter Management
Just like blog posts, email newsletters are best delivered on a consistent basis. If you don't have time to prepare them, we'll handle it. Just give us the information, coupon, special etc... and we'll prepare a beautiful email for your approval.
