Shopify maintenance & SEO — a store that improves every month
A monthly retainer covers updates, speed, security and SEO — and the monthly report shows you exactly what improved. From €1,250 per month, with at least 10 hours of work.
An online store is not a project that gets finished — it is a machine that needs constant tuning. Themes and apps update, Google’s requirements shift, and competitors do not sleep. An unmaintained store gets slower every month and slides down the search results.
Our maintenance retainer covers both sides: technical upkeep — speed and security updates, app and theme upgrades, backups and monitoring — and growth work: technical SEO, content optimization, conversion improvements and A/B tests.
At the end of every month you get a report: what was done, how speed, rankings and conversion changed, and what we do next. Questions and smaller requests are handled by email as they come — we answer within one business day.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does the retainer include?
At least 10 hours of work per month, split across agreed priorities: updates, speed, technical SEO, content optimization and conversion improvements. On top of that: monitoring, backups and email support.
Can I cancel the retainer?
Yes — the contract is monthly and ends with 30 days’ notice. There is no long-term lock-in: the retainer has to prove its value with every monthly report.
