If you run an agency you'll always be on the lookout for ways to grow additional revenue.
With the new Client report you could offer a free quarterly health check. Include a quote with it to fix the issues on their behalf.
Basic white labelling is included in all plans (while keeping the main domain name).
As you may well be aware I have a habit of overthinking things.
For Website Toolkit I need to sort out payments, which could be one off per domain (90 days use), monthly (2 tiers) as well as the upcoming £££ LTD bundle.
I would also like to make use of Coupon Affiliates for WooCom (already own it) to add service credit. That might need a subscriptions plugin that's a bit costly.
Would freelancers / agencies ever buy a bulk set of months in one go (3+ months min, thus no automatic subscription) and then top up when it's about to run out, or is that too much hassle?

Soft launched a little later than planned due to PHP and NodeJS fun over the last couple of days.
Tomorrow I'm going to start following my own launch checklist to give that module a fresh pair of eyes for workflow improvements.
My refreshed website has soft launched. Check out the new interactive demo (1hr sandbox).
I'll be running WT over it tomorrow as a mock launch, ready to mop up any VS Code links and staging site links that didn't swap over.

The dog fooding continues.
ToggleWP now integrates with MailerPress, which I'll be using on the refreshed Website Toolkit site.
Just in case anyone missed it yesterday with all the PHP panic, NodeJS had a security update as well.
This isn't a 0% AI or 100% suituation - go with the flow you are comfortable with.
Your client might feedback on something, which isn't quite right to blindly follow, but you know what they meant.
Add an internal note and that'll be included in your AI agent brief.
Keep yourself in the loop to sanity check the request, while handing over the quick fixes you know your agent can handle.
ToggleWP will be gaining a kill switch so it can ignore settings from my upcoming ToggleWP Cloud service.
It'll also ask for manual per site confirmation to prevent any (ToggleWP related) security related settings from being downgraded once set.
Client sites only pull information from the Cloud server, which has no access to the sites themselves, but I'd rather bake in extra measures for peace of mind.
ToggleWP only pulls information from my upcoming Cloud service, it never has access to your sites themselves.
However, in light of recent news, I'm adding some additional measures just in case, because your sites shouldn't have to trust me blindly.

I've had been a busy week with Website Toolkit. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback + ideas for additional checks.
Next week is partly school holidays - I'll be focusing on updating the website while following my own Launch checklist.
See the thread for this week's highlights.

When I launched ToggleWP last year I emailed all previous buyers of the Site Owner Admin / Administrator Toolkit LTD (which it was based on), offering them a 100% free upgrade.
Around 50% took up the offer and now have access to a ToggleWP license.
As part of consolidating my plugin ecosystem I want to encourage the hold outs to swap over so there is 1 less plugin to update (and also a website I can close down).
The Administrator Toolkit home page and key landing pages all redirect over to a ToggleWP blog post saying that ToggleWP is replacing it, and the post offer a personal discount upgrade code if they get in touch.
Is the below reasonable to put in place on the next plugin update?

Black Friday is a difficult time for WordPress companies to stand out. Two companies have already picked up one of the WP Builds 'pride of place' Black Friday Page spots. Looks good. Thanks @novamira_ai and @ws_form Join them: wpbuilds.com/black-friday-sp…
What is the current thinking on one big multi product site vs multiple small sites?
When I began I had FriendlyWebGuy.co.uk for my plugins (and browser extensions). Over the last couple of years I added ToggleWP.com NagMeNot.com and Website-Toolkit.co.uk, mainly with the thought that if they were separate it would make them easier to sell off / hand over in the future (however unlikely that is, but future proofing).
I'm now trying to decide if I should re-make them all in the one new refreshed FWG site (in a planned way) or leave them as they are.
Gemini said bring them together, Claude said keep them separate. Yay.

It's #ToolkitTuesday (kinda).
As Website Toolkit is a whole lot more than "just another site audit tool" I've tweaked the home page to highlight this, while adding an easy way to view the 3 main demos.
Take a look and let me know what you think:
website-toolkit.co.uk/
I achieved the near impossible (for me) - recording a Website Toolkit highlights video that's under 10mins long.
Is Website Toolkit right for you?
If your job involves building and launching websites for clients, then the answer is yes!
