What does "managed" actually mean?

Managed means we handle every operational task that keeps a WordPress site healthy: plugin and theme updates with backups and health checks, WordPress core upgrades, daily backups with one-click restore, speed optimization, the eight built-in tools you can switch on per site (Auto SEO, Auto Speed, two-factor login, cookie consent, form protection, broken links & 404s, database cleanup and AI edits), uptime and health monitoring, and direct senior developer support — plus TopSyde Sentinel, our AI security engine that scans every site daily and removes malware and SEO spam for you. You publish content; we run the operations.

What do I get access to?

Full WordPress admin on every site plus the TopSyde portal: a fleet view across all your sites, health scores and prioritized recommendations, plugin/theme/domain status, backups with one-click restore, Sentinel security scans and findings, an activity log of every change, each site's Dashboard tab with the eight built-in tool switches (Auto SEO, Auto Speed, two-factor login, cookie consent, form protection, broken links & 404s, database cleanup and AI edits), an AI assistant for site-specific questions, and a direct line to your senior developer. Managed agency accounts include multi-org management, role-based sub-users, and a white-label portal. Team seats and account branding are included with self-service. Multi-org management and white-label client portals are available through managed agency setup.

Can you migrate my existing site?

Yes — free, on every plan. We handle files, database, DNS, and SSL end-to-end, typically completing migration in under two hours with zero downtime. After cut-over we run a full speed-optimization pass and configure monitoring before handing the portal back to you.

What if something breaks?

We fix it as part of your plan — no surprise invoices, no scope limits, no flex-hour packs. Site down? We answer within 15 minutes, 24/7. We back up sites before updates, check their health after, and a person looks over the pages. If an update causes a conflict, it rolls back on its own and a developer recovers the site. Site hacked? Sentinel cleans and re-hardens it. It's our problem until it's solved.

Do you lock me into a contract?

No. Every plan is month-to-month with no minimum term and no cancellation fee, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee — if you're not happy in your first month, we refund every penny and you leave with your site and your data, no questions asked. Prefer to pay yearly? It's the same plan at 10% off, and the guarantee covers it too.

What You Stop Doing

Keep the Client.
Hand Off the Rest.

A care plan is only profit if you are not the one doing the caring. Here is what leaves your plate.

The 11pm “my site is down” text

Uptime is checked every five minutes. When something breaks, a senior developer is already on it before your client notices.

Update day

Plugins, themes and core, backed up first and health-checked after. A failed update rolls itself back. You never touch it.

The hacked-site cleanup

Daily malware scans on every site, and removal included. No emergency invoices, no weekend lost to a casino-spam infection.

Being the help desk

Your client opens a ticket in the portal and a developer answers it. You can watch, or you can be somewhere else.

Proving you did anything

A monthly PDF per site with every update, scan and hour of uptime itemized. Your name on it, sent to your client.

None of the credit

The portal carries your logo and your account name. Your client sees your brand, your invoice, your care plan.

Built in, not bolted on

Eight tools built in. The plugins can go.

SEO, speed, two-factor login, cookie consent, form protection, broken-link fixes, database cleanup and AI edits come with every plan, each one switch per site, set up and looked after by us. At list price, the paid plans of the plugins they replace run $745+ a year per site, and $5,700+ across ten client sites with each vendor's multi-site pricing.

How we got $745+

Paid plans of the plugins these tools replace, per site per year at list price, checked 14 October 2026.
Yoast SEO Premiumfor Auto SEO	$118.80
WP Rocketfor Auto Speed · $299.95 for up to 50 sites	$59.95
Wordfence Premiumfor Two-factor login · volume discounts from 2 licences	$149.00
CookieYes Profor Cookie consent · per domain; the plan with region targeting, like ours	$250.00
Akismet Profor Form protection · $9.95/month billed yearly; Business covers unlimited sites at $49.95/month	$119.40
WP-Optimize Premiumfor Database cleanup · up to 2 sites	$49.00
Redirection, Broken Link Checkerfor Broken links & 404s · free	$0
Total	$746.15

AI edits replaces no plugin: it covers the small edits you'd otherwise wait on a developer for. Free versions of several of these exist; the figure is what their paid plans cost, not a promised saving.

Two more that can go. No switch, always on.

Instead of Wordfence
Sentinel AI security
Scans every site daily from outside, so a hacked site can't switch it off, and removes what it finds.

TopSyde Mail
