WordPress technical setup for a site/aromatherapy website

What I need:
• Update WordPress core, theme and all plugins to the latest stable versions; check that nothing breaks after updating.
• Audit installed plugins, remove unused/duplicate ones, and give me a short list of what was removed and why.
• Set up automatic backups with UpdraftPlus (daily database, weekly files) stored off-site (Google Drive or Dropbox), and test one restore.
• Install and configure a security plugin (Wordfence or Solid Security): firewall, login protection / limit login attempts, 2FA for admin, malware scan.
• Connect Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console: verify the site, submit the sitemap, and set up basic GA4 events (booking/contact button clicks, form submissions).
• Accessibility check and fixes: text contrast, missing alt text on images, tap target size for buttons on mobile.

Additional Requirements:
• All work must be done locally in Local WP (security requirement from my boss). The site will be shared as a Local WP export (.zip). No live URL, WP-admin, hosting/cPanel or Google account access will be provided.
• GA4, Search Console and off-site backups should be prepared locally, with short instructions for the final connection once the site is live.

Deliverables:
• A short report (Google Doc or PDF) with what was done, plugin list before/after, and logins/settings I need to know.
• Screenshots of working backups, security settings, and GA4/Search Console connected.

Budget: $300–$600
Timeline: 1–2 weeks

Proposals should include:
• Fixed price
• Timeline
• 1–2 examples of similar maintenance work.

Requirements:
• Proven WordPress experience (please share 2–3 similar jobs).
• Make a full backup before any changes.
• No new paid plugins without my approval.
