managed websites
Hassle-free maintenance, better local SEO, and a stronger online presence for busy small business owners
You run your business — a managed website makes sure the website works for you. We handle updates, security, hosting and local optimisation so your site stays fast, secure and visible in local search without you touching a line of code.
Why a managed website is right for small businesses
Small business owners have limited time and a lot to juggle. A managed website hands the technical work to experts so you can focus on customers. That means fewer downtime incidents, constant performance monitoring, and a site that actually converts visitors into enquiries.
Hassle-free updates
Send a message or email and the site is updated for you — content, pricing, offers, and photos.
Security & uptime
Managed hosting, automatic SSL renewals, backups and 24/7 monitoring keep your site safe and online.
Ongoing optimisation
Regular performance checks, image optimisation and caching lower load times and improve conversions.
SEO advantages of a managed website
SEO isn't a one-off task — it's an ongoing process. Managed websites include continuous SEO attention so your site improves in search visibility over time. That means better rankings for local searches, more calls and bookings, and measurable traffic growth.
Local SEO & visibility
We optimise pages, schema, and local signals so your business appears in "near me" results — crucial for trades and local services.
- NAP consistency and structured data
- Google Business Profile integration
- Local landing pages where relevant
Technical SEO & speed
Performance and crawlability are handled for you: fast servers, mobile-first layouts, sitemap updates, and structured markup.
- Page speed optimisation (images, caching, CDNs)
- Automatic sitemap and robots updates
- On-page meta and H-tag management
Actionable analytics & growth
Managed websites come with reporting so you can see which pages drive enquiries. Use that data to double down on services that convert.
Maintenance, support and peace of mind
A website requires ongoing care. Managed services proactively handle updates, backups and compatibility so you avoid costly downtime and security incidents.
Automatic updates
Core platform, plugins and theme updates are applied and tested, reducing the risk of breakages.
Managed hosting & backups
Daily backups stored off-site and quick restores if anything goes wrong — no technical work from you.
Security monitoring
24/7 scanning, malware removal and SSL management protect your customers and your reputation.
Unlimited small changes
Most managed plans include quick content edits as part of the monthly fee — price updates, hours, specials and images handled for you.
