Your site is quietly working for you…

Orders come in. The phone rings. Every browser you own says it looks fine.

Underneath

Looking fine isn’t the same as being fine.

Mine looked perfect while thirty thousand spam pages ran underneath it. I found out when the phone stopped ringing.

sosSTEVIE

Distress call answered.

One person, calm hands. I fix compromised sites, rebuild weak ones, get you named in AI answers, then keep it all running. No quote before I look.

The order is the method

Five days. One diagnosis. A plan you own.

A ranked list of what’s broken, what each fault costs you, and what to do first. The full $997 comes off your first project if you hire me.

SOS Digital Diagnostic · $997 · five days · credited to your first project

You cannot tell by looking

A good compromise is built so the owner sees nothing.

The symptom isn’t a broken site. The symptom is silence. Enquiries thin out, rankings slide, and every individual week looks like normal variance.

If it’s an emergency

  • Your site is down, or showing an error instead of your homepage
  • Your site redirects somewhere you didn’t choose
  • Google is showing pages on your domain that you never wrote — casino, pharmacy, or anything in a language you don’t publish in
  • Google Search Console has flagged your site, or a browser is warning visitors away from it
  • You’ve found an administrator account that isn’t a person you can name

If any of those is happening: call. Don’t fill in a form, don’t email, and don’t start deleting things.If I can’t pick up, text the word SOS and your domain. That gets a response faster than anything else.

One case study. Not three.

Start here · The SOS Digital Diagnostic

Five days. One diagnosis. A plan you own.

Most website problems are not what the owner thinks they are. The Diagnostic finds the real one in five days, and what it is costing you. I don’t touch your code: read-only access, nothing changed, nothing broken.

  • ✓A ranked fault list by cost and effort
  • ✓A 90-day roadmap, written to hand to any competent developer, including one who isn’t me
  • ✓The AI visibility baseline, screenshotted so it’s testable later
  • ✓A 60-minute findings call, recorded, and the recording
  • ✓A straight answer on which items you can do yourself. Some of them, you can.

FIXED · QUOTED UP FRONT · NO HOURLY BILLING

$997

CompareThe redesign one owner was about to buy would have cost him five figures and solved nothing at all. The real fault took a morning. For most businesses, $997 is less than one month of the problem they’re currently living with.
  • The full $997 comes off your first project if you hire me.
  • You keep the roadmap whether or not you hire me.
  • No obligation to hire me. Ever.

Everything on offer

Every product is a question somebody actually types.

Prices are published where they’re fixed. Everything else says quoted after the Diagnostic, because quoting before diagnosing is the thing this practice exists to argue against.

Rescue

Hacked Website Rescue

“My Website Has Been Hacked. What Do I Do Right Now?”

$2,950flat rate · all five phases

  • Contain: site down, credentials rotated, attacker locked out, forensic snapshot taken
  • Diagnose: find the entry point, every injected file, rogue account and backdoor
  • Clean: remove the infection and close the door
  • De-index: removal requests and Search Console monitoring until the index is genuinely clear
  • Harden: where the rescue actually finishes

OutcomeClean and back online, with the door they came in through closed.

The difference between a bad month and a lost business is what happens in the next 48 hours.

Rescue

Website Security Hardening

“How Do I Stop My Website From Getting Hacked?”

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. If you go on to hire me for any of the recommended work, the entire $997 is credited against your first invoice. For most businesses that’s less than one month of the problem they’re currently living with.
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 keep the findings whether or not you hire me, and they’re written to be handed to any competent developer.
Do I have to hire you afterwards?
No, and the Diagnostic is deliberately structured so you don’t have to. The roadmap is written to be handed to any competent developer or agency. Some clients fix things themselves or use their existing team, and that’s a success rather than a lost sale — it’s also why the $997 exists, because it means I’m paid for the thinking regardless.
What if you find my site has been hacked?
Then you’ll know within 48 hours, which is the single most valuable thing the Diagnostic can tell you. I’ll show you exactly what’s there and what it’s doing. Clean-up is separate work — my flat-rate Hacked Website Rescue is $2,950 — and you’re free to hand it to anyone. Most people ask me, because I’ve been on the receiving end of exactly that discovery.
How long does it take and what do you need from me?
Five working days. I need read-only access to your website, hosting, analytics and Google Business Profile, plus about 90 minutes of your time across two calls. Nothing on your site is modified during the Diagnostic. 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.
What size of business do you work with?
Small and mid-sized businesses, typically those with a website that matters commercially but no in-house technical staff. Professional services firms — law, dental, accounting, clinics — tend to fit best, because they carry compliance exposure and have nobody internally watching for the kind of failure that took down my own site. Enterprise engagements are turned down rather than accepted badly.
Can you guarantee my site won’t be hacked?
No, and nobody honest will. Hardening dramatically reduces the odds by closing the doors automated attacks actually try, and the static architecture removes most of them entirely, but any system connected to the internet carries residual risk. What I can do is make you a much harder target than the sites around you, and make sure that if something does get through, you find out in hours rather than the weeks it took me.
