Managed WordPress
One retainer to maintain all four foundations — SEO, listings alignment, site UX, and lead tracking — for trades that live on Google Maps and the phone.
Managed WordPress is more than plugin updates. Each tier keeps the same local growth baseline we install on custom builds — scoped to how much hands-on reporting you need.
Hover or tap a layer — most of what drives local leads sits below the surface.
Surface
Fast, mobile-friendly service pages with clear contact paths that answer buyer questions before they call someone else.

Real Local Lift SEO and Lead Ledger workflows — the same stack we ship as plugins, configured on your WordPress site.
Monthly score + NAP checks
Local Lift SEO stays configured with GBP alignment, LocalBusiness schema, and consistency checks — not a one-time launch task.
Forms + click-to-call
Standard and Priority tiers activate Lead Ledger so owners see which pages produce inquiries — not just uptime alerts from a host.
Need a site first?
Starting from scratch? We build Map Pack–ready WordPress sites with SEO, listings alignment, conversion UX, and Lead Ledger configured before go-live — then you can add a managed retainer when you are ready.
Prefer DIY? Install Local Lift SEO and Lead Ledger free on your own hosting. Managed plans are for owners who want the four foundations maintained — updates, security, and reporting handled — with the same plugins we build.
An ongoing retainer that keeps your WordPress site updated, secure, and aligned for local search — with Local Lift SEO and Lead Ledger reporting on Standard and Priority tiers. You keep your hosting provider; we maintain the site and local growth stack on top of it.
SEO (Map Pack readiness), local listings alignment (GBP matches your site), content and website UX (fast mobile pages with clear contact paths), and analytics and tracking (Lead Ledger lead counts). Every retainer maintains these — tier differences are mostly reporting depth and priority support.
No. Plugins are free to install DIY. Managed plans add ongoing updates, backups, security monitoring, and hands-on SEO/lead reporting across all four foundations.
No. You keep your hosting provider. Managed plans cover WordPress maintenance, plugin configuration, security, and reporting on top of the site you already have.
Standard and Priority include Lead Ledger activation and reporting on the free plugin. Basic includes Local Lift SEO only. Pro licenses for either plugin are purchased separately — not bundled with any retainer tier.
No. All tiers install and configure the free versions by default. Pro licenses for Local Lift SEO and/or Lead Ledger are sold separately and are not included in Basic, Standard, or Priority.
Start with a custom WordPress build when you need a new site with all four foundations at launch. Add a managed retainer after go-live — or choose managed only if you already have a WordPress site worth maintaining.
We show typical ranges. Final scope depends on site complexity — contact us for a recommendation after a short intake.
Local service businesses that depend on Google Maps and the phone — HVAC, plumbing, roofing, dental, and similar trades — who want the four foundations maintained without hiring in-house WordPress staff.
Yes. We can fulfill updates, security, and reporting white-labeled while you keep the client relationship. See the agency page for the inquiry form.
