Managed WordPress vs DIY for home-service owners

DIY is fine if you enjoy plugins, backups, and chasing form spam at 9pm. Most owners do not.

A managed plan should buy you: hosting + SSL + updates, a mobile lead UX, technical SEO basics, and a human who answers when something breaks.

What it should not silently include: unlimited SEO labor, ranking guarantees, or “we post to GBP forever” at \$199/mo. That is how agencies burn out and cut corners.
