CRM and MAP integration breaks
The most common failure we see. A plugin update changes how a form submits, and suddenly leads stop reaching HubSpot, Salesforce, or Marketo. Nobody notices until someone asks why the pipeline looks thin.
B2B - WordPress Maintenance
WordPress Maintenance for B2B Companies
A broken form. A slow site. A plugin update that quietly breaks your HubSpot sync. In B2B, these aren't minor inconveniences. They're lost deals. We keep your site running the way your buyers expect, and the way your revenue team depends on.
Why it matters
Maintenance Risks Specific to B2B
Four things we watch closely on every B2B site we maintain.
Security vulnerabilities
The most serious risk. B2B sites often hold company and contact data tied to real deals. An unpatched vulnerability isn't just a technical problem, it's a liability and credibility problem with your own buyers.
Performance degradation
Sophisticated buyers notice a slow site and quietly judge your company for it. Performance decay happens gradually, plugin by plugin, until the site that used to load fast just doesn't anymore.
Gated content delivery failures
A broken download link or a confirmation email that never sends turns your best lead generation asset into a dead end, and you may not find out until you look at why gated content conversions dropped.
Focus areas
Where We Focus Our Attention
01
CRM and Integration Reliability
After every plugin update, we test form submissions, verify records land correctly in your CRM, and check that automation sequences fire as expected. This is standard practice for every client running HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot, or ActiveCampaign.
02
Security and Data Protection
Malware scanning, security hardening, and timely patch application on a regular cadence. We also monitor known vulnerability disclosures for the specific set of plugins your site runs, so we're not waiting for a scan to catch something that's already public knowledge.
03
Performance and Core Web Vitals
B2B buyers often evaluate your site on a work desktop, and a sophisticated audience notices a slow one. Core Web Vitals affect both SEO rankings and the impression your site leaves on a buyer forming an opinion of your company. This is ongoing work, not a one-time fix.
What's Included
Core updates
WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates on a regular cadence.
Integration testing
CRM and MAP integration testing after every plugin update: HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot, ActiveCampaign.
Form and CRM delivery testing
Form functionality checks and CRM delivery verification, including gated content downloads and confirmation email sequences.
Security and monitoring
Malware scanning and removal, security hardening, and vulnerability monitoring, plus uptime monitoring with alerting.
Performance and backups
Core Web Vitals monitoring, off-site backups with tested restore capability, and SSL certificate monitoring and renewal.
Reporting and support
Monthly reporting with a site health summary, plus priority support access to the team that built your site.
What Happens Without a Maintenance Plan
Integration failures that kill pipeline silently
A broken form doesn't send an alert. It just stops sending leads, and the first sign is usually a sales team wondering why the pipeline looks thin weeks later.
Security breaches at the worst moments
A compromised site during an active sales cycle damages credibility right when a prospect is deciding whether to trust you with their business.
Performance decay
A slowly degrading site signals unprofessionalism to buyers who are actively comparing you against competitors with faster, cleaner experiences.

FAQ
Do simple sites still need a maintenance plan?
Yes. The risk isn't complexity, it's time. Every site running WordPress needs core, theme, and plugin updates, and every unpatched update is a window for something to break or get compromised. A simple site with one CRM integration still needs someone watching it. We scope plans to match the actual risk on your site, so a simpler site costs less to maintain, but "no plan" isn't really an option we'd recommend.
What happens when a plugin update breaks something?
On a maintenance plan, you get priority support and we typically restore functionality within hours. Without one, most companies discover the problem when someone notices the pipeline looks thin, which could be days or weeks later. That gap is exactly what these plans are built to close.
Can you take over maintenance on a site you didn't build?
Yes. We start with an audit to understand the plugin stack, integration setup, and any existing issues before onboarding. Sites we didn't build sometimes carry a higher onboarding cost if there's cleanup work involved, but we'll tell you upfront exactly what that looks like before you commit to anything.
How often do you actually update things?
Routine updates happen on a monthly cadence. Security-critical patches get applied as soon as possible, often the same day a vulnerability is disclosed. All updates are staged and tested before going to your live production site, so we're not introducing new problems while fixing old ones.
Can we request changes after launch?
Priority support access is included on every plan. Content edits aren't bundled into the base plan; minor edits and updates are scoped a la carte at our hourly rate, and larger projects like a new landing page or a redesigned section get their own scope so you always know what you're paying for.
