WordPress core, plugin and theme updates
All updates tested on a staging environment before touching the live site. Regressions on staging are held and investigated before production. Every update logged with before-and-after state.
White Label WordPress Maintenance for Agencies
White label WordPress maintenance: we deliver, you keep the client, the brand, and the revenue.
Every website you have built for a client needs ongoing maintenance. Most agencies handle this reactively - losing hours to updates, turning away new project work. BlueBotts provides white-label WordPress maintenance plans that let you offer professional, branded site care to every client, without building an in-house team, without adding payroll, and without your clients ever knowing we exist. You sell the plans, set your own prices, and keep the margin.
- 200+ WordPress sites maintained
- 100% white label delivery
- Staging-tested before every update
- NDA-safe, completely invisible to clients
The agency opportunity
WordPress maintenance for agencies: from cost centre to recurring revenue stream
Most agencies treat WordPress maintenance as an unavoidable cost: the support calls, the emergency fixes, the hours that disappear without producing billable output or new client relationships. The agencies that scale treat it differently, as a product with predictable monthly revenue attached to every site they have ever built.
-
Maintenance swallows billable hours
Every hour your team spends on updates, backups, and support calls is an hour not being used on projects that grow your agency. Maintenance handled reactively by project staff is the most expensive way to deliver it.
-
Sold at hourly rates, maintenance is unsustainable
Charging hourly for ongoing maintenance means your income stops when the work stops. Care plans convert maintenance into recurring monthly revenue that runs whether or not a new project starts this month.
-
You already have the client base
If you have built 30 WordPress sites, you already have the audience for care plans. The relationships exist. The trust exists. The only question is whether you capture that opportunity or leave it for someone else.
-
No infrastructure investment required
You do not need to build a maintenance system, hire WordPress engineers, or create reporting workflows. You plug into ours, sell under your brand, and keep the margin between your client price and your wholesale cost.
How it actually works
What white label WordPress maintenance actually means, and what stays yours
"White label" means different things in different contexts. Here is exactly how it works with Bluebotts.
Your brand on everything
Monthly reports carry your agency branding. No Bluebotts logo, email address, or reference appears anywhere your clients see. The work is ours. The relationship is yours.
Your client relationship, completely
We never contact your clients directly unless you explicitly agree to it as part of an established operating model. Every external-facing interaction goes through your team.
Your pricing and your margin
You decide what to charge your clients. We charge you a wholesale rate per site. The difference is yours to keep. Agencies typically operate at 2 to 4 times the wholesale rate.
Your operating model
You define how requests arrive, how reports are used, and how escalations are handled. The operating model is agreed at the start, documented clearly, and followed consistently.
NDA-safe confidentiality
We operate under non-disclosure as standard. Your clients will not discover they are being served by a third party unless you choose to tell them.
What is included
What is included in every white label WordPress maintenance plan
Every plan covers the full maintenance stack from day one. Your clients get complete site care. Your agency gets consistent, documented delivery. Nothing is metered, nothing is hidden.
Daily off-site backups, verified and restorable
Encrypted off-site backups run daily with 90-day retention. Restoration capability is verified, not assumed. A current, clean backup is available whenever a client site needs it.
Security monitoring and malware cleanup
Continuous scanning for malware and known vulnerability disclosures. If a client site is compromised on an active plan, cleanup is included at no additional charge to your agency.
Uptime monitoring: 60-second checks
Every client site monitored every 60 seconds from multiple locations. Outages escalated immediately. Most issues resolved before your client notices and contacts you.
Performance and Core Web Vitals
Caching, image optimisation, and database cleanup on a scheduled basis. Client sites that load fast convert better, rank better, and generate fewer support tickets.
Monthly support and content edits
Text changes, image swaps, form updates, and minor layout edits included within plan scope. Work outside scope is clearly flagged before any action is taken, with no surprise charges on your invoice.
White-label monthly reports
Plain-English summary for each site on the 1st of each month: what was updated, monitored, flagged, and recommended. Formatted for your account team to forward or use directly in client communication.
Incident escalation support
Plugin conflicts, hosting migrations, security incidents that go deeper than a standard cleanup: senior engineers available for complex escalations your team does not need to hold expertise for.
- $990 monthly revenue, 10 client sites
- $2,475 monthly revenue, 25 client sites
- $4,950 monthly revenue, 50 client sites
- $9,900 monthly revenue, 100 client sites
The partnership model
How our white label WordPress maintenance service operates with your agency
Defined once, documented clearly, and followed consistently. No guesswork, no renegotiating the model with each new client site you add to the portfolio.
-
Define the operating model
We agree upfront: how requests arrive, how reports are branded, how escalations are handled, and what turnaround expectations apply. Documented before any sites are onboarded.
-
Onboard client sites in batches
Sites onboarded on a schedule that fits your client communication rhythm. Each site audited at onboarding: plugin stack, hosting, backups, security posture. A baseline established before care begins.
-
Weekly maintenance cycle
Updates staged, tested, and deployed. Backups verified. Security monitored. Support requests move through a defined workflow with clear turnaround windows. Nothing falls through.
-
Monthly reports, ready to forward
Plain-English summaries in a format your account managers can forward, reformat, or use for client calls, with no Bluebotts branding anywhere in the document.
-
Escalate only what needs you
Routine maintenance runs without requiring your involvement. Issues that need agency awareness are flagged clearly: what happened, what was done, and what decision you need to make.
The real cost of in-house
Why building an in-house maintenance team is the wrong answer for most agencies
-
Maintenance work is uneven
A hire who costs $4,000 to $6,000 per month produces predictable cost against unpredictable workload. Some weeks barely enough work for a day. Others, three client crises simultaneously. White label scales with actual demand.
-
Expertise requirements are inconsistent
Routine updates need one level of skill. A compromised WooCommerce store needs a completely different level of expertise. Staffing for the worst case means overpaying for the average case, every single month.
-
Turnover destroys institutional knowledge
A developer who knows 40 client sites, their plugin stacks, hosting quirks, and communication expectations, takes all of that context with them when they leave. Rebuilding it takes months, at cost to client experience.
-
Training overhead is significant
Security incident response, staging-tested update workflows, malware cleanup, database repair: the skills required for professional WordPress maintenance are not entry-level. Training takes time and introduces risk in the interim.
-
White label maintenance solves all of this at once
Fixed, predictable monthly cost. Senior engineers available for both routine maintenance and complex escalations. Documented processes that do not depend on any single person. Zero onboarding time: the infrastructure is already built.
The business case
Building an in-house team vs. Bluebotts white label: the full picture
| Factor | Building an in-house team | Bluebotts white label |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $4,000 to $8,000+ salary and overhead | Predictable per-site rate, scales with your portfolio |
| Expertise level | Depends entirely on who you hire | Senior engineers on every case |
| Scalability | Linear with headcount | Add sites without adding staff |
| Turnover risk | High: institutional knowledge leaves with the developer | None: process-driven delivery, no single point of failure |
| Emergency coverage | Limited to business hours | Continuous monitoring, immediate escalation |
| Monthly client reports | Manual: requires team time to compile and format | Automated, agency-formatted, delivered on the 1st |
| Time to operational | 4 to 12 weeks to hire and onboard | Days to launch your first batch of client sites |
Who this is for
Which agencies benefit most from white label WordPress maintenance plans
-
Design and marketing agencies
You build WordPress sites but do not want a maintenance desk
Your team should stay focused on design and marketing. Bluebotts handles the technical maintenance overhead so your team does not need to hold that expertise in-house.
-
Freelancers managing multiple sites
You are reaching the limits of what one person can monitor and support
Monitoring, updating, and supporting 15 to 20 client sites single-handedly is a full-time job on top of your actual work. White label maintenance frees your time for the work that requires your specific skills.
-
Development agencies
You want recurring revenue alongside your project pipeline
Strong project pipelines are not always predictable. White label maintenance creates a stable monthly income base that runs whether or not a new project closes this month.
-
Agencies burned by maintenance before
A client site was hacked, or an update broke a live checkout
You want a partner with the operational discipline to prevent these scenarios: staging-tested updates, verified daily backups, continuous security monitoring, and documented escalation processes.
-
Digital marketing agencies
You manage WordPress alongside SEO and PPC retainers
Bundling maintenance into existing retainer relationships increases client lifetime value without significant additional selling. Every care plan is an additional monthly touchpoint with an existing client.
Will my clients know that Bluebotts is handling their maintenance?
No. We operate entirely under your agency brand. Reports carry your branding, communication comes through your channels, and we stay completely invisible. We operate under NDA as standard.
Can I set my own prices for the care plans I sell to clients?
Yes, completely. Your client-facing pricing is your decision. You pay Bluebotts a wholesale rate per site, and the difference between your client price and your cost is yours to keep. We do not prescribe or limit your margins.
How many client sites can I onboard?
There is no ceiling. Portfolios can be onboarded in batches to manage client communication timing. Whether you have 5 sites or 500, the operating model scales consistently.
What happens if a client site gets hacked?
Malware cleanup is included on all plans. We contain the incident, remove the infection, close the entry point, submit any required blacklist removal requests, and provide you with a plain-English incident summary your team can use for client communication.
What if my client has an urgent request outside the standard maintenance scope?
Small edits and support requests within plan scope are handled as part of the service. Work outside scope is flagged clearly before any action is taken, so there are no surprise charges on your agency invoice and no commitments made to your client without your knowledge.
Can you work directly with my clients if I prefer?
Yes, if that is part of the agreed operating model. Some agencies prefer a fully hands-off model where we interact with their clients directly under the agency brand. Others prefer us to stay entirely behind the scenes. We define this upfront and follow it consistently.
How are the monthly reports formatted?
Reports are provided in a plain-English format designed to be forwarded directly to clients or used as source material for client calls. They cover what was updated, monitored, flagged, and recommended. They do not contain any Bluebotts branding.
What is your response time for plan clients?
Response targets depend on plan level. Emergency incidents (site down, active security compromise) are escalated immediately. Routine support requests are handled within the turnaround window defined for each plan tier. All terms are documented and agreed at onboarding.
Can I white-label WooCommerce maintenance for e-commerce clients?
Yes. WooCommerce stores require checkout-aware update testing and order-safe backup workflows, both of which are part of how we handle stores. Every store update is tested against the checkout flow on staging before deployment to live.
What do you need from me to get started?
A brief conversation about your current portfolio size, how maintenance currently works for your agency, and what your client communication model looks like. From there we agree the operating model and begin onboarding your first batch of sites.
