One retainer. Staging first. Restore-tested backups. 10+ sites.
Staged updates, restore-tested backups, Telegram alerts. $499/mo for 10+ sites. Built for agency rosters and PBN-scale grids.
A network without a routine is a monthly fire. Blind updates break a client site on Saturday. Untested backups are a file, not a restore. You find out the site is down when the client does.
I apply core, theme, and plugin updates on staging, test, then push. Daily off-site backups. Monthly restore test on a sandbox. Uptime and security alerts to Telegram. Monthly health report so you can see what changed.
$499/mo for 10+ is not a cheap freelancer. It is one pass across the grid, not fifty logins. One incident costs more than the retainer. The same pipeline that runs my archive restores — staged updates, restore-tested backups, monitoring. Single-site and 5-site retainers exist if the roster is smaller.
What you send
How many sites. Current host. Whether staging exists. Where alerts should land.
What you get
Core/theme/plugin updates on staging, then production. Daily off-site backups. Monthly restore tests. Uptime to Telegram. Monthly health report.
What is not promised
That a third-party plugin will never break. I catch it on staging first. Rankings are not part of a retainer.
