What maintenance actually covers
Maintenance is four recurring jobs, and the AMC (annual maintenance contract) you sign should name each one. Updates: WordPress core, plugins and themes — outdated plugins are the single biggest attack vector. Backups: scheduled, offsite and restorable, not just taken. Security monitoring: malware scans, uptime monitoring alerts and SSL renewal tracking so nothing lapses quietly. Content updates: text, images and small design tweaks, the work non-technical owners actually feel. Hourly vs retainer matters here: hourly suits occasional edits, retainers suit sites that must stay patched every month. The done-for-you version of this list sits on the WordPress managed hosting page.

Basic vs standard vs full-care packages
Two practical notes on AMC: it interacts directly with caching and database response, and misconfiguration is the most common cause of 'hosting is slow' tickets. WebJi® support checks it as part of standard migrations.

The cost of NOT maintaining — hacks, recovery, SEO loss
Rankings follow pages that match the query, a Google Business Profile that matches the real business, and links or mentions you did not invent. No one can sell a guaranteed position. A monthly SEO engagement should say which pages, which cities and which reports you will actually get.
Choosing a provider — the SLA checklist
On uptime monitoring, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
