Your Website Is Live—Here’s What Comes Next
Launching your website is an exciting milestone, but a successful website is never completely “set it and forget it.” This guide explains what to do during your first week, how to request updates, what ongoing maintenance includes, and how Social Reach can continue supporting your business as it grows.
A Quick Note About SEO
Every website we build includes foundational SEO best practices to help search engines understand and navigate your website. Depending on the project, this may include an organized page structure, mobile optimization, search-friendly page titles and descriptions, clean URLs, and other technical essentials.
However, launching an optimized website does not guarantee immediate first-page rankings. SEO is an ongoing process that can involve content improvements, keyword strategy, local search optimization, Google Business Profile updates, technical enhancements, and monitoring over time.
Some clients also choose our SEO Boost, which provides additional optimization beyond the foundational SEO included with the website.
Protect Your Website With Hosting and Maintenance
Your website is an important business asset. Our hosting and maintenance plans are highly recommended to help keep it secure, fast, functional, and current after launch.
Depending on your website platform and plan, ongoing hosting and maintenance may include:
Performance Optimization
-Website hosting and uptime management
-Website speed and performance maintenance,
-Security monitoring and preventative maintenance
-General technical support
Content Edits
-Bug fixes and troubleshooting
-Minor text and image updates
-Business hours and contact information updates

Reporting & Improvement

Most standard requests are included with ongoing maintenance

Your First-Week Website Checklist
During the first week after launch, we recommend completing the following steps.
Visit the website using both a computer and a mobile device. Review the main pages, click the buttons, and confirm that everything appears and functions as expected.
Submit each contact, inquiry, booking, or lead form. Confirm that the correct person receives the notification email and that it does not go into a spam folder.
For E-commerce websites, also confirm that important store notifications, customer emails, and order workflows are operating correctly.
Let us know if you notice:
-Incorrect information
-Missing content
-Broken links
-Display issues
-Form problems
-Mobile layout issues
-Unexpected website behavior
Let customers, members, employees, partners, and other relevant audiences know that the new website is available. You just paid for a brand new website, show it off!
Update the website address anywhere your business appears online, particularly if:
-Your domain name changed
-You previously used a temporary website
-You did not have a website before
-Online profiles still link to an older website
