Website maintenance is one of those services clients usually only notice when something breaks. If the site stays online, plugins are updated, backups are running, and nothing major goes wrong, the client can easily start wondering, “What exactly are we paying for every month?” That used to be a constant challenge for us, especially from a marketing and client-retention side. Selling a maintenance plan wasn’t the hardest part. Proving its value month after month was where things got tricky. Glow fits really well into that gap. It brings support, tickets, updates, monitoring, backups, reports, and team activity into one place, so maintenance stops living only in internal conversations and becomes much easier for the client to understand. The client reports are probably where I see the biggest impact. Before, we either prepared reports manually or sent summaries that felt too generic. With Glow, clients can clearly see updates, tickets, monitoring activity, and the work that has been done without us having to explain everything from scratch.
Having all day-to-day admin tasks in one central control panel makes everything so much easier to manage. It’s intuitive and saves our team a huge amount of time.
The integration with a customer helpdesk means we can streamline support without the usual back-and-forth. One of our favourite features is the one-click module updates – it’s a real time-saver and allows us to focus more on proactively supporting our clients, rather than getting bogged down in routine patches or maintenance.
It is really easy to implement on client sites too.
We have found the support for us to be great, and when we have faced challenges or requested features, they have been more than happy to support us with those.
The system allows me to keep on top of tasks as well as monitor updates needed for our website maintenance. The customer support team are really helpful and very quick to respond to enquiries.
