WordPress Care That Catches Problems Before You Do

Maintenance, hosting, monitoring, backups, updates, and support for WordPress sites that need to stay secure, fast, and looked after after launch.

Where website care often falls short

A maintenance plan should be more than a monthly invoice. It should make the site safer, easier to recover, and less likely to surprise the business.

01

Downtime nobody spots

If the site goes down and the first alert comes from a customer, the monitoring setup is already too late.

02

Unpatched risk

Old plugins, themes, WordPress core, and PHP versions can turn small maintenance neglect into security or compatibility problems.

03

Backups no one tests

A backup is only useful if it exists, is recent, is recoverable, and someone knows what to restore when things break.

04

Locked-in support

Clients lose trust when care plans are hard to leave, unclear about work completed, or vague about what support includes.

What BMG keeps under control

Practical WordPress care for sites that need regular updates, safer hosting, monitoring, recovery, and an agency that can fix what it finds.

01

Managed WordPress updates

Keep WordPress core, themes, plugins, and PHP compatibility under review instead of leaving updates to pile up.

Example: updates can be checked with backups, staging where needed, and issue review instead of pushed blindly on a live site.

02

Secure hosting setup

Host WordPress on infrastructure suited to the site, with caching, SSL, backups, performance, and recovery considered together.

Example: hosting can be matched to the site's traffic, ecommerce needs, plugin stack, admin usage, and support expectations.

03

Uptime and security monitoring

Watch for downtime, malware warnings, vulnerable plugins, failed checks, and other risks before they become client complaints.

Example: monitoring makes issues visible earlier, so the response starts from an alert rather than a panicked message from a customer.

04

Backups and recovery

Maintain recent backups and a clear recovery route for bad updates, editor mistakes, malware, hosting issues, or accidental deletion.

Example: the plan should make it clear what can be restored, how far back backups go, and what happens during an urgent recovery.

05

Performance checks

Review speed, caching, image weight, scripts, plugin bloat, and Core Web Vitals issues that appear over time.

Example: a site that launched fast can slow down after new plugins, tracking scripts, images, and content changes. Maintenance should catch that drift.

06

Support and small fixes

Handle practical website support, content help, bug fixes, compatibility issues, and improvements without a full rebuild brief.

Example: care can cover small layout fixes, plugin settings, broken forms, tracking checks, and advice when a bigger development change is needed.

A care process with clear visibility

The care setup starts with what the site needs now, then settles into a predictable rhythm for checks, updates, response, and reporting.

01

Audit

Review hosting, plugins, themes, backups, security, speed, forms, tracking, and current risks.

02

Onboard

Set up access, backups, monitoring, update process, support route, and any immediate cleanup work.

03

Update

Run planned updates, compatibility checks, security review, and performance checks on a regular rhythm.

04

Respond

Investigate downtime, errors, failed forms, update conflicts, malware warnings, or urgent support requests.

05

Report

Keep the client informed about updates completed, issues found, fixes made, and recommended improvements.

Common questions

What clients usually ask before moving a WordPress site onto a care plan.

What is included in maintenance?

The exact scope depends on the plan, but it usually covers updates, monitoring, backups, security checks, support, and practical fixes.

The important part is clarity: what is included, what is excluded, how urgent issues are handled, and when something becomes new development.

What happens if my site goes down?

Monitoring should alert the support route, then the cause can be checked across hosting, DNS, plugins, security, and recent changes.

Some incidents are quick fixes. Others need hosting support, restore work, malware cleanup, or a deeper compatibility investigation.

Am I locked into a rolling contract?

BMG's positioning is built around clear, fair support rather than trapping clients in unclear commitments.

The care agreement should make billing, notice periods, support scope, and ownership clear before the site is moved over.

Can you take over a site another agency built?

Yes, after an audit. The first step is understanding how the site is built and what risk comes with updates or support.

Takeovers usually start with backups, admin access, hosting review, plugin audit, theme review, security checks, and a short priority list.

Need your WordPress site properly looked after?

Bring the site, the hosting login, or the update list you have been avoiding. BMG will check the risk and map the safest care route.
