Website maintenance: your site works, you stay relaxed
Professional website maintenance is the difference between a site that just exists and one that works fast, stays secure and does not surprise you at the wrong moment. Updates, backups, security and routine fixes happen in the background. Your business keeps running without interruptions.
SGO's maintenance service relies on proven experience in the WordPress ecosystem. Every update is tested before going live, every change is backed up, and every issue is resolved before your customers notice it.

Website planning
A review of the existing site, core and plugin versions, backup and security status, and actual loading speed. At the end, we define the website maintenance package based on the site size and its actual needs.
Ongoing work
Core and plugin updates tested before going live, daily backups, security and uptime monitoring, and bug fixes. Content and image updates are included in the package.
Reporting and monitoring
You get a monthly summary of what was updated, fixed and monitored. If the site slows down or goes offline, we start fixing it before you even notice.
An artificial intelligence (AI) system protecting your site around the clock
Website maintenance at SGO does not rely on occasional manual checks. We developed a system of AI agents and automated mechanisms that work on every site we maintain: they check, identify issues, fix what is safe to fix on their own, and report every action to the team. The automated monitoring and handling run around the clock, even at night and on weekends. Our team is available to you during regular business hours.
Monitoring every 15 minutes with auto-recovery
An external system checks four times an hour to ensure the site is live. If it goes down, it tries to bring it back instantly: it clears the code cache, isolates the plugin that caused the crash and rolls back the changes if the fix fails. A team alert goes out at the same time, and it repeats until the site is back up.
Autonomous security agent
Once an hour the security agent checks admin users and site files. An account planted by a hacking tool or a malicious file is automatically neutralized after a backup and a check to ensure the site continues to work. An unrecognized human user will never be deleted without a manual review by our team.
Visual inspection, not just response code
A site can return a valid response from the server and still look broken. The system loads the pages like a regular visitor and verifies that all design files load properly. This way, a page that lost its styling is discovered and fixed before your client sees it.
No request gets lost
Spam filters can also block real clients. A dedicated agent reviews blocked leads every hour, identifies a genuine inquiry by a real name and Israeli phone number, alerts you, and fixes whatever caused the block.
Updates with a safety net
An update cycle runs every week: a backup goes first, followed by the update, and then a check on a real browser, desktop and mobile, ensuring the site looks and works exactly as before. If anything shifted, the update rolls back immediately.
Spam link protection
A dedicated system monitors the links pointing to your site and detects spam link attacks designed to hurt your Google rankings. When an attack is discovered, we prepare a disavow file for Google and take care of it.
Every system action is logged, and every fix is physically checked before it counts as done. This gives you maintenance that responds in minutes rather than days, and it is already included in the package at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions
What does a website maintenance package include?
A website maintenance package includes: WordPress and plugin updates, automatic backups, security monitoring and malware scanning, technical support, load time and uptime monitoring, bug fixes, and web hosting. Every update is tested before and after, so a single plugin update does not break a contact form.
How much does website maintenance cost?
Technical website maintenance, including web hosting, costs ₪65 per month for a landing page, ₪150 for a business website, ₪250 for a catalog site and ₪350 for an online store. A business owner who also needs ongoing work on the site, such as content changes, new pages and improvements, can add an operational package based on working hours: ₪750, ₪1,000, ₪2,000 or ₪3,000 per month, depending on the required hours.
How often should you perform website maintenance?
With us, full backups run every 24 hours, updates follow a weekly cycle, and security scans happen every hour. Online stores or high-traffic sites require more frequent checks, making continuous automated monitoring the best choice for them.
How often is the website backed up?
Every package includes a full backup every 24 hours. Backups are retained for at least 30 days and allow a complete restoration of the site to any point in time.
What is the difference between backups and website maintenance?
A backup is a saved copy of the site for recovery in case of a crash. Maintenance is a broader process that includes backups, along with updates, security, monitoring, and performance improvements. A backup alone does not prevent a breach. It only helps you recover from one.
What is the difference between web hosting and website maintenance?
Web hosting is the server where your site lives, and maintenance is the work done on the site itself. With us, they come together. Hosting is included in the maintenance package because an excellent server will not save a site with an outdated plugin, and good maintenance will not compensate for a slow server.
What happens if my website is hacked?
We restore from the latest backup, saved every 24 hours. In case of a breach, the process includes a clean backup restoration, a full malware scan, patching the exploited vulnerability, changing all passwords, reinforcing the firewall and providing a detailed security report. Professional website maintenance prevents most breaches from happening in the first place.
What happens if you do not maintain the website?
Outdated plugins create security vulnerabilities, loading speed drops, and sometimes the site crashes without warning. In a worst-case scenario, Google marks the site as unsafe, directly hurting traffic and rankings. Ongoing website maintenance prevents all this in advance.
Do you also fix speed issues?
Yes. A central part of website maintenance involves monitoring and improving performance. Tracking includes Core Web Vitals, while we handle image optimization, cache management and ensuring your site loads fast on mobile devices.
Does website maintenance affect SEO?
Yes, and directly. Google considers load speed, uptime, and security. A slow or frequently down website loses rankings. This is why good maintenance is an essential foundation for any ongoing SEO effort.
Can you maintain a WordPress website yourself?
You can perform some tasks yourself, mainly simple updates. The problem is that a flawed update can crash the site, and restoring it requires server access and technical knowledge. A business that depends on its website usually prefers professional support to guarantee continuous operation.
My website was built by another agency. Can you provide website maintenance?
Yes. The process starts with a health check of the existing site: versions, abandoned plugins, backups, and open issues. This provides a clear picture and allows us to match the right package to the site type, starting at ₪65 per month including web hosting.
Can I upgrade my maintenance package?
Absolutely. You can switch packages at any time. A business owner whose site grows and requires ongoing work can add an hourly operations package, ranging from ₪750 to ₪3,000 per month. There is no long-term commitment. You get full flexibility.
Who provides WordPress maintenance in Israel?

Website maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps an active site fast, secure and up to date. Many business owners invest heavily in building a site, then neglect it until something breaks. We see this every week at SGO: a plugin that has not been updated in six months leaving a security vulnerability, a backup that was never tested and failed to restore when needed, or a contact form staying broken for weeks without anyone noticing. Proper WordPress maintenance prevents exactly these scenarios.
What professional website maintenance includes
A serious website maintenance package is built in layers. The first layer covers core, theme and plugin updates, which close most known security vulnerabilities. Above that sits the backup: backing up is not enough, you also need to verify that the backup can be restored. Then comes monitoring, checking that the site is live and its response time is reasonable, along with a malware scan that detects malicious code before Google flags the site. The final layer is continuous performance optimization, which includes compressing images, cleaning the database and reducing load times.
You can do some of these tasks yourself, but many require server access and technical knowledge. This is why a business owner who wants a site that generates leads over time prefers to leave maintenance in professional hands. It is similar to choosing an organized SEO service instead of managing it alone.
DIY maintenance vs. professional maintenance: package comparison
The following table compares three common maintenance levels so you can understand what fits your site based on risk and budget.
| What is included | DIY maintenance | Basic package | SGO managed package |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core and plugin updates | Manual, irregular | Monthly | Weekly, with a health check |
| Managed backups and restoration testing | Usually missing | Weekly backup | Daily backups, tested recovery |
| Uptime and response time monitoring | None | Manual inspection | Automated monitoring every 15 minutes, with self-healing |
| Security and malware scanning | None | Monthly | Every hour, with automated neutralization |
| Issue response time | Depends on your availability | Up to two business days | Response within a few hours |
| Estimated monthly price | The cost of your time | Varies by provider | ₪65 to ₪350, including web hosting |
Why ongoing maintenance saves money in the long run
Small and medium businesses are a prime target for automated cyberattacks, and an outdated WordPress website is a particularly easy target. On the other hand, a site that takes more than three seconds to load loses a significant portion of its visitors before the page even opens. Regular WordPress maintenance handles both security and performance: it closes security loopholes before they are exploited, and maintains a loading speed that retains traffic. Restoring a site after a hack costs several times more than a monthly website maintenance package, and that is before factoring in reputational damage and lost leads during the days the site is down.
A well-maintained site is also a better foundation for any marketing activity. After the website design process is complete and the site goes live, maintenance preserves the investment and allows the site to keep bringing in clients month after month. At SGO, we provide ongoing website maintenance for hundreds of clients. Our average response time for an urgent issue is measured in hours, not days.
