Website Management Services for US Startups & Small Business
A vetted freelance website manager who keeps your WordPress, Webflow or Shopify site updated, fast and secure, so founders stop spending evenings on plugin updates. From $15 an hour, no platform fees.
What Our Website Management Services Cover

Core, theme, plugin and app updates tested on staging first, with a rollback plan for anything that breaks.
Security and backups
Daily off-site backups, malware scans, uptime alerts, SSL renewals and user-access reviews.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Image compression, caching, script clean-up and LCP, INP and CLS fixes checked against PageSpeed Insights field data.
Content and page updates
New landing pages, pricing changes, blog uploads, forms and pop-ups built in your CMS without waiting on a developer.

Redirects, broken links, sitemaps, schema and Search Console errors fixed as part of the monthly routine.

GA4, Tag Manager, conversion events and a simple monthly report that shows traffic, leads and what changed.
Built for US Startups and Small Businesses
A full-time US web developer is a big fixed cost for a company that needs 10 to 20 hours of site work a week. A part-time manager covers the same backlog for a fraction of it.
US startups
- Ship landing pages for launches and campaigns in days
- Keep the marketing site off the engineering roadmap
- Run experiments on pricing and sign-up pages
- Scale from hourly to full-time as you raise
US small businesses
- One person owns updates, backups and security
- Fix the slow, outdated pages that lose leads
- Keep hours, menus and offers current
- A predictable monthly cost instead of emergency invoices

Outsourcing Website Management: What to Know
Website management is the ongoing work of keeping a site secure, fast, accurate and useful after launch. Most small business sites need a few hours a week; most startup sites need more, because marketing keeps asking for new pages. Here is how the main options compare.

|---|---|---|
| Cost | Full US salary plus benefits | $15-$30/hr or $1,000-$2,000/mo part-time |

Frequently Asked Questions
What US startups and small businesses ask about our website management services.
What are website management services?
Website management services cover the ongoing work after a site launches: software updates, security, backups, speed, content and page changes, technical SEO fixes and reporting. With Seotal, one vetted freelance website manager owns all of it for your business.
How much do website management services cost for a small business?
Seotal charges $15 to $30 an hour with no minimum, or $1,000 to $2,000 a month for a part-time manager working 60 to 80 hours. Full-time managers are quoted per role. There are no platform or success fees.
Do you manage websites for early-stage startups?
Yes. Startups usually start hourly or part-time to ship landing pages, run sign-up and pricing experiments and keep the marketing site off the engineering roadmap, then move to full-time as the team grows.
Which platforms do your website managers support?
WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix and headless CMS setups. We match you with a manager who has run sites on your platform.
How fast can a website manager start?
You get a shortlist within 72 hours of the scope call. Most managers start within a week of selection, beginning with an audit of the current site.
Will my website manager work US business hours?
Managers agree a daily overlap window with your team in US Eastern or Pacific time, and routine work such as updates and backups runs outside your hours.
Is website management the same as hiring a website manager?
It is the same person, packaged differently. This service page describes the managed outcome. If you want to interview and hire the person directly, see the freelance website manager page.
