Many websites are neglected and abandoned. About 80% of all websites on the web are inactive
People create a website, but two or three months later, that website shows a 500 error or hosting is unpaid. This can hurt your visitors and rankings.
Why Website Management is Important
Reduce Site Errors & Downtime
A server can crash or go under maintenance which can affect your website’s uptime. You need regular check-ups to fix any errors or downtimes that you may encounter.
Keeps you on top of the rankings
If your website goes down for a prolonged period of time Google may demote it from top to bottom. Recovering this will be difficult as other websites will replace your top rankings.
It’s imperative to constantly monitor your website’s performance and rankings.
Stay ahead of the competition
A new website can rise up from nowhere and outrank you. Constantly montioring the search pages makes you know what’s new and what new things people are looking for; you’ll stay ahead of the competition.
Keeps your content fresh
