Did you know that Google can notice that WordPress core and/or plugins are not updated on your site? Believe it or not, if WP/plugins are not up to date, your SEO could be negatively affected because updates are all about security and new features. If we add Google’s freshness factor to all of that, an outdated site is considered as an inactive site (no fresh content, CMS software not updated, no new changes on the website, etc..).
Inactive sites are getting less attention from Google and are not able to receive high volume of traffic from organic search. The whole point of this story is that there are hundreds of examples that are showing that these days a proper WordPress maintenance is crucial for success.
If you want to properly update your website without breaking something, you need a WordPress developer, if you want to make some content or layout changes, again you need to hire someone to do the work, especially if you are way too busy with your business and have no time to learn coding.
