Monthly plans
The short answer
Stewart Code offers three website maintenance plans: Care keeps your site hosted, updated, backed up and monitored; Care + Search adds monthly content, Google Business Profile posts and review replies; Search Pro adds more content, link earning and conversion testing. Care is monthly and can be canceled anytime; Care + Search and Search Pro are monthly with a 3-month minimum.
Every plan includes a monthly scorecard you can read in two minutes. Most businesses we'd work with fit Care + Search, and the table below shows why.

Which plan
Care
Your leads come mostly from referrals or repeat customers, and the site's job is to look right and stay up. Care handles the technical side so nothing breaks quietly.
Care + Search
You compete in the map results and on searches in your towns. This plan keeps your profile active, your reviews answered and new pages going up for the searches that bring work.
Search Pro
Several established competitors rank above you and you're ready to invest to close the gap. This plan doubles the content and adds links, testing and a quarterly plan.
Your hours
Examples, so you know what to ask for. Edit requests are done within two business days.
A brand-new page with real content is usually more than an hour. On Care + Search, new content is already part of the plan.
No lock-in
Your domain, code, content, hosting account and analytics are set up in your name from day one. For project work, ownership of the code and design we create passes to you on full payment.
Monthly plans are month-to-month after the minimum term.
Because the hosting account is already yours, leaving means we remove our access. The site keeps running.
We never promise rankings or traffic on any plan. Google decides those; we report what changed honestly, misses included, the same way we publish our own on /proof/.
Questions
Not always. A static site with no plugins needs far less looking after than a WordPress site. If you would rather handle hosting and updates yourself, you own everything needed to do it.
Sometimes. We check the site first, because some platforms can't meet our standard without rework. Run the X-ray and ask us on a call.
Care + Search and Search Pro run for at least three months, because search work needs that long to show anything worth reporting. After that they are month-to-month, and Care has no minimum at all.
Yes. You can move up at any time. Moving down from a search plan is available once its minimum term has passed.
We do, from what we learn about your business and what people search for. You approve anything that states a fact about your company before it is published.
