Explanation:
instead of translating Beratung and Betreuung separately, I would just say "consulting services" because Beratung and Betreuung often means the same in my experience.

support

Explanation:
Perhaps this is over-simplifying things a bit, but support could work here. There are also quite a few answers for Betreuung in the glossaries (see one example below).

Other alternatives: maintenance, supervision, care, servicing.
