How to Choose an IT Partner for Long-Term Web, E-shop, and SEO Management
Launching a website is just the beginning. The real work starts afterwards. Updates, security, new content, SEO optimization. You need a partner, not just a supplier.
What Should a Good IT Partner Offer?
- SLA (Service Level Agreement): Guarantee of response time. When the site goes down, you know someone is dealing with it within an hour.
- Proactive Approach: They don't wait for you to call with a problem. They suggest improvements themselves, monitor metrics, and point out new opportunities.
- Transparent Reporting: Every month you get a report: what was done, what the results are (traffic, conversions), what is planned.
- Comprehensiveness: Ideally, one company handles both technical management and SEO/marketing. This eliminates passing the buck ("that's the marketers' fault" vs "that's the programmers' fault").
Red Flags
- No Support Contract: "Call us when you need something." This usually means that when you need something, they won't have time.
- Outdated Technologies: If they offer you a WordPress site with 50 plugins without security patches in 2025.
- Poor Communication: If it takes a week for them to reply to an email.
Choose a partner you get along with personally as well. You will be communicating for years. At Rise.sk, we build on long-term relationships and the growth of our clients.
