Website Maintenance in Panama
A site isn't finished the day it goes live. Links break, content goes stale, something on the server changes and nobody notices.
What happens when nobody looks after it
None of these three is a catastrophe the day it happens. All three cost you customers for months without showing up anywhere.
The form is the worst of them, because one that stopped sending looks exactly like a slow month. Nobody finds it by looking: you have to check it.

Care Plan
from $120 a month
One plan, not a ladder of three. If your site has bookings, payments or a catalogue the scope is different and we talk it through — but you won't have to pick between bronze, silver and gold. And no lock-in: if you aren't using it, you cancel it.
- Managed hosting and domain
- Weekly backups
- Security updates
- Ongoing Google search optimization (SEO)
- Google profile kept current, with posts
- Replies to reviews
- Up to two content changes a month
- A report every three months
Anything outside that is billed by the hour, and we tell you before doing it. You'll never see an hour on an invoice you didn't approve.
What happens every month
| What | Every month | How you check it |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting and domain | We check that the domain and the security certificate renew on their own | The next expiry date is in the report |
| Backups | One a week, and one tested every month | The date of the last tested one is in the report |
| Security updates | Whatever comes out that month | They're written down in the log |
| SEO | A Search Console review —indexing, security and page experience— fixing whatever it flags, plus one improvement chosen from its data: a title, new questions, an internal link or a profile detail | The improvement and its page are in the log |
| Google profile | Two posts, and special hours for public holidays | You see them on your profile |
| Reviews | All of them answered within two business days | You see them on your profile |
| Content changes | Up to two, whichever you ask for | You see them on your site |
| Report | Every three months: visits and searches from Google, calls and directions from your profile, and what was done each month | It reaches you every three months |
What gets done each month is written down in a log, which you can ask for any time and which goes in full into the report.
New pages or articles to rank, and link-building campaigns, aren't included: the monthly improvement works with what your site already has.
