Manufacturing website maintenance · Compounds every month

Manufacturing website maintenance that keeps converting.

Most websites peak the day they ship and decay quietly afterward. You get a maintenance program that keeps your manufacturing site converting better every month. Catalog updates, spec-sheet versioning, RFQ form CRO sprints, distributor portal upkeep, ERP integration maintenance, and the small adjustments that compound over a year into double-digit RFQ lift. Same team that built the site, same standards.

What's included · maintenance

Six things every manufacturing
maintenance engagement ships with.

Some agencies hide what's included until you're past the proposal stage. We don't. Here's exactly what every manufacturing maintenance engagement covers — six concrete deliverables, each tied to your unit economics.

01 — INCLUDED

Conversion experimentation

Quarterly CRO sprints — A/B tests on key conversion pages, run by senior strategists with statistical rigor, not vibes.

02 — INCLUDED

Performance & Core Web Vitals

Monthly perf audit and remediation. Sub-2-second LCP and clean Web Vitals are non-negotiable, not aspirational.

03 — INCLUDED

Security & compliance

Patches, dependency updates, vulnerability scans, and SOC 2 / GDPR / accessibility (WCAG AA) compliance maintenance.

04 — INCLUDED

Content updates & new pages

New page production, copy updates, image refreshes, and seasonal launches handled inside the retainer.

05 — INCLUDED

Integration upkeep

CRM, marketing automation, analytics, and e-commerce integration health monitoring and fixes when third-party APIs break.

06 — INCLUDED

Monthly health report

A real document — not a screenshot — with what changed, what improved, what's at risk, and what we recommend next quarter.

How the engagement runs

Four stages between
kickoff and lift.

The same engagement architecture across every manufacturing website maintenance program, recalibrated for the unit economics of an industrial plant. Each stage produces a measurable artifact operations and finance can both defend, not a discovery deck nobody opens twice.

1

Onboard

Two-week handoff and baseline audit. We map the existing catalog, document the stack and ERP integration, run a forensic on security and performance, and inventory what needs attention before anything compounds.

Stage 01
2

Stabilize

Tech debt cleared, security baseline locked, performance brought into Core Web Vitals territory, and the RFQ form path tested end to end through CRM and ERP before any new feature work begins.

Stage 02
3

Optimize

Quarterly CRO sprints on RFQ forms and spec-sheet gates, monthly performance audits, catalog updates inside the retainer, distributor portal upkeep, and ERP integration health checks every release cycle.

Stage 03
4

Compound

Monthly written health report covering what changed, what improved, what is at risk, and the recommended next sprint. Scope rebid every quarter so the work tracks where the plant actually is.

Stage 04
How we differ

Most manufacturing website maintenance
does not operate this way.

The unsexy operational details that decide whether your maintenance retainer pays back. Worth comparing before you sign anywhere, including with us. If a row makes you uncomfortable, that is the row to bring up on the strategy call.

Common questions

Things manufacturers
ask about maintenance.

Eight of the most common questions we field on first calls about manufacturing website maintenance. If something here is not covered, the strategy call is the right place to get into it.

What does manufacturing website maintenance typically cost?
Most maintenance retainers run $2,500 to $6,000 per month depending on catalog size, ERP integration complexity, and the cadence of CRO sprints on RFQ flows. The fee covers monthly performance and security work, quarterly CRO sprints, catalog and spec-sheet updates inside the retainer, distributor portal upkeep, and a monthly written health report your partners can read.
Do we have to have built the site with you to be on maintenance?
No. About 30% of maintenance clients came to us with sites built somewhere else. The two-week onboarding handles the handoff. We audit the existing stack, document the ERP integration, lock down security, bring performance into Core Web Vitals territory, and test the RFQ form end to end through CRM before anything new ships.
Will you work alongside our existing team or vendors?
Yes. About 78% of engagements involve coordinating with an internal IT team, an ERP consultant, or another agency. We are explicit about RACI in the kickoff so nobody is guessing who owns hosting, who owns the catalog, and who owns the integration health by the end of week two.
What is the response SLA?
Same business day on standard requests. Two-hour response on anything tagged urgent, including security incidents, RFQ form outages, and ERP integration failures. We are explicit about which categories qualify as urgent in the contract so nobody is guessing whether a spec PDF typo is the same priority as the contact form failing on Edge.
How is success measured?
Reporting ties to outcomes manufacturers actually care about. Conversion rate on RFQ forms, spec-sheet download completion, Core Web Vitals scores, ERP integration uptime, and the +15% annual conversion lift target every retainer is built around. Every monthly review includes per-page conversion analysis and a written next-quarter plan.
What if we want to bring this in-house later?
About 14% of clients exit before 12 months because they have hired an in-house developer or moved support to their internal IT. We support that transition explicitly with documentation, runbooks, and a 30-day handoff included. We see that as a good outcome for the plant, even though it costs us the renewal.
Do you handle catalog updates and SKU additions?
Yes. Catalog updates, new SKU additions, cut-sheet versioning, and seasonal product launches sit inside the monthly retainer. New product lines, new distributor portals, or major architectural changes get scoped separately with a written estimate before any work starts so the budget never surprises you.
Do you sign DPAs, NDAs, or handle compliance reviews?
Yes. SOC 2 Type II audited and routinely sign NDAs and DPAs before any privileged work. Templates live in the contract pack we share after the strategy call. Our security team will sit on a vendor review call with your IT or compliance lead if your plant or parent company requires it.
Three ways forward

Start with a maintenance audit, not a sales call.

On the strategy call you speak with a senior strategist, not a sales rep. The 45 minutes cover your current catalog, the performance and security baseline, the RFQ paths that are leaking quietly, and a working theory of where the next CRO sprint should focus. You leave with a written next-step roadmap whether you ever hire us or not.
