Not an emergency? Start with the Diagnostic — $997.

Your next step

Start with the Diagnostic.

The priority is getting your site back online, fast. The Diagnostic finds what happened and cleans it up, so your site is safe, secure and discoverable again, and the phone starts ringing.

Straight question

Will $997 be enough to remove the hack?

In most cases, yes: small and medium sites are usually fully recovered within the $997 Diagnostic. Larger sites can need more work. If yours does, you’ll know the scope and the cost before anything beyond $997 is done. Quoted up front, no hourly billing.

Straight question

Will this get me ranking in Google and AI answers?

No. Not at first. The priority is getting your site back online, the way it was before the hack.

Ranking, rebuilds and AI visibility come after. See all services →

Straight answers

What people ask before they book.

How much does the SOS Digital Diagnostic cost?
$997, fixed, quoted up front with no hourly billing and no surprises. For most small and medium sites that covers finding the problem and cleaning it up. If yours needs more, you’ll see the scope and the cost before anything beyond $997 is done.
How is this different from a free website audit?
A free audit is a sales document with pre-loaded conclusions, usually generated by a tool and pointed at the service the agency sells. The Diagnostic is paid work with no predetermined answer — including the answer that your site is fine and your problem is elsewhere. You get a written account of what was found and what was fixed.
Do I have to hire you afterwards?
No. The Diagnostic stands on its own: find it, fix it, write it up. Anything further, such as ranking work or a rebuild, is a separate decision, and the report is written so you can hand it to any competent developer or agency.
What if you find my site has been hacked?
Then the clean-up is part of the Diagnostic. Containment comes first, then I find the entry point and remove what was put there. Small and medium sites are usually recovered within the $997; if yours needs more, you’ll know the cost before I go further.
How long does it take and what do you need from me?
It depends on what I find. A hacked site gets contained first; clean-up typically takes a few days to a week depending on how deep the infection goes. I need access to your website and hosting, plus a 30-minute intake call. I take a full backup before I change anything. Everything else is on me.
Who do I call if my website has been hacked?
Call (754) 302-4631 — sosSTEVIE’s emergency line, answered by Stevie directly, any hour. Before you call, don’t delete anything: the injected pages are the symptom, and removing them without finding the entry point and the persistence mechanism means they return within a fortnight. If you can, note what you’re seeing and where you first saw it, then call.
How quickly will I get a response?
Emergency calls and texts to (754) 302-4631 are answered any hour, usually within minutes, occasionally within an hour if another emergency is running. Non-urgent messages get a reply the same day on weekdays. This is a one-person practice, so response times are honest rather than contractual — if you need a guaranteed window, that’s what a maintenance retainer provides.
Is sosSTEVIE an agency or one person?
One person. Stevie — legally Jacques Schinazi — does the diagnostic, the work and the calls, and brings in specialists occasionally for things outside his range. The advantage is that the person who scoped the job is the person doing it, so nothing is lost in translation and nobody is being upsold by an account manager. The disadvantage is real capacity limits, which is why work runs one engagement at a time.
