A website is like a car—regular maintenance keeps it running smoothly for years, but eventually, technology evolves, and an upgrade will be necessary. Our maintenance plan ensures your site stays secure, fast, and optimized for as long as possible, but at some point—typically after 4-6 years—core technology (like software, frameworks, or web standards) will advance enough that a full refresh will be the best path forward. The good news? With proper maintenance, you’ll extend your website’s lifespan and avoid costly emergency fixes down the road.

Collaboration with Your SEO Company
While Monthly Technical SEO ensures your website remains fast, crawlable, and compliant with search engine updates, we understand that your SEO company may have specific customization needs to align with their strategy.
For best results, we will work with your SEO team to further customize any of the items above.
🚫 Keyword Research & Content Strategy (this is content SEO, not technical SEO)
🚫 Building Internal Linking Strategy (unless fixing crawlability issues)
🚫 Backlink Building & Off-Page SEO (not part of technical SEO)
🚫 Content Creation: New Pages, Posts or Copy (this is content SEO, not technical SEO)
🚫 Installing Scripts & Tracking Codes
🚫 Installing and configuring 3rd party SEO plugins
We strongly recommend that SEO professionals work with us, not around us when making technical changes to your website. Your website’s backend is a custom setup, and giving unrestricted access to an SEO provider can introduce security risks, plugin conflicts, or even break functionality. Instead, we are happy to collaborate with them to implement best practices in a way that maintains site integrity and performance. If they truly specialize in SEO, they should have no issue working alongside the web development team to get technical aspects sorted properly.
The Problem: Many SEO companies or “gurus” want full backend access, but they often:
- Install sketchy, redundant, or conflicting plugins
- Apply one-size-fits-all SEO strategies that don’t fit your custom setup
- Make high-risk changes without understanding your website’s technical structure
- Bypass the web developer, leading to broken functionality, security risks, and maintenance headaches
- Create a diffusion of responsibility—if something breaks, who is accountable?
Green Flags: Signs of a Good SEO Company
A good SEO provider should:
✔ Request collaboration with the web developer rather than demand direct access.
✔ Provide a clear plan of the changes they want to make.
✔ Use minimal plugins and avoid unnecessary or redundant installations.
✔ Understand your website’s platform and discuss best practices for technical SEO.
✔ Make changes incrementally and test them properly before rolling them out.
✔ Communicate openly with both you and the development team.
✔ Provide measurable improvements without resorting to catch-all plugins
Red Flags: Signs You Should Be Cautious
Watch out for SEO companies that:
🚫 Demand backend access without explanation or dismiss collaboration with the developer.
🚫 Install multiple unnecessary plugins that duplicate existing functionality.
🚫 Make sudden changes without proper testing or documentation.
🚫 Use a cookie-cutter SEO approach that doesn’t account for your unique website setup.
🚫 Avoid transparency about what they are doing and why.
🚫 Promise “guaranteed rankings” or claim they have secret strategies.
🚫 Blame the developer when things go wrong instead of taking responsibility for their changes.
Your website is a long-term investment, and SEO should enhance it—not put it at risk. A trustworthy SEO provider will collaborate with the web development team to ensure the best results without compromising your site’s stability, security, or performance.
