1. Services Provided
Daily Security Monitoring
Includes malware scanning, firewall monitoring, uptime tracking, and system alerts to help ensure your website remains online and secure. This is passive monitoring; if an issue is detected, we’ll notify you. Any required cleanup or active threat mitigation is billable unless otherwise agreed.Weekly Website Backups
Secure, off-site backups are stored in the cloud for disaster recovery purposes. Emergency restorations are included at no charge. General content rollbacks (such as undoing recent edits) are not covered under this service.Weekly CMS Security Upgrades and Patches
The WordPress core is updated regularly to maintain compatibility with plugins/themes and to ensure your site remains secure. Major version updates may require additional review if plugin or theme conflicts arise.Weekly Plugin/Theme Updates and Patches
All installed plugins and themes are updated regularly to maintain site performance, security, and compatibility. If an update causes a disruption, NventSolution will investigate and resolve it within the scope of your plan. Extensive issues, deprecated tools, or third-party conflicts may require additional billing.Foundational SEO Setup (Pro Plugin Enhanced)
Initial configuration of meta titles, descriptions, sitemap settings, and indexing controls using a supported SEO plugin (such as Rank Math). This setup does not include keyword research, backlinking, traffic analysis, or competitor strategies. Additional SEO work must be requested separately or may require a Website Management Plan.Bi-Weekly Page Speed & Performance Optimization
Routine reviews of site speed, caching, image compression, and asset handling are performed to improve overall load times and user experience. While optimizations are implemented regularly, NventSolution does not guarantee specific PageSpeed scores or testing benchmarks.Weekday + Saturday Technical Support
Support is available during business hours for technical questions, plugin issues, and general troubleshooting. Support does not include marketing consultation, copywriting, or creative direction. Priority response may apply based on your plan.
- Sitemap Monitoring & Indexing Health
We perform monthly checks on your website’s sitemap to ensure it remains accessible and successfully submitted to search engines. If issues are detected—such as broken sitemap links, deindexed pages, or submission failures—we’ll notify you with a clear explanation and guidance on next steps. - SEO Health Alerts
We monitor your site’s indexing status and visibility performance. This includes identifying crawl errors, indexation drops, or visibility-related issues. While we do not resolve these issues under this plan, we’ll alert you and provide non-technical guidance on how to proceed or request further assistance. - Rank Math SEO Pro License
The client receives access to our Rank Math SEO Pro license for the duration of this agreement. License access is revoked if the agreement ends or is downgraded.
⚠️ Note: NVS Sentinel protects your website and helps maintain SEO readiness. For ongoing keyword improvements, design flexibility, and visibility tuning, consider NVS Momentum or NVS Vanguard — both include hands-on SEO work and strategic design time.
We do not offer growth marketing or paid traffic services under any plan.
🔸 Looking for something lighter? If you don’t need SEO health alerts, Pro plugin access, or priority support, NVS Core offers essential website protection and performance care at a lower monthly rate.

The following services are explicitly not included and must be quoted separately or covered under an upgraded plan:
Resolving search engine issues (crawl errors, indexation problems, GSC technical flags)
Ongoing or advanced SEO work (e.g., keyword research, performance analytics, backlink outreach)
Speed optimization requests outside of normal monthly reviews
Analytics setup (Google Analytics, tracking pixels, event tagging)
Page layout changes, text or image content updates, or reformatting requests
