Choose the Protection Style That Fits Your Business
Stonegate offers both one-time diagnostic services and ongoing protection plans. Pick the option that fits where you are today — whether you need help with a specific problem or you’re ready for full-time protection.
One-Time Services
Perfect if you need help with a specific issue — a deep audit, a hacked site cleaned up, a secure launch for a new website, or an email deliverability fix. No ongoing commitment.
- Fixed, upfront pricing
- Expert-led audits, clean-ups & fixes
- Clear findings & action plans
Ongoing Protection Plans
Ideal if you want your website fully managed, monitored, and protected — with updates, backups, and security handled for you every month. (Deliverability monitoring is also available as an add-on for businesses where email is mission-critical.)
- Monthly updates & hardening
- Uptime, malware, and backup monitoring
- Priority help when something breaks
Not sure which option you need?
Here’s a quick guide. If you’re dealing with a specific problem, start with a one-time service. If you want someone watching your site all the time, choose an ongoing plan.
| Situation | Recommended Path |
|---|---|
| Your site has never had a real security or health check. | One-Time Services → Full Site Health & Security Scan |
| Your site looks fine, but new customers can’t find you in search or AI tools. | One-Time Services → AI & GEO Visibility Audit |
| You’re launching a new or redesigned site and want it hardened before go-live. | One-Time Services → New Site Security Launch Setup |
| Your site is hacked, defaced, blacklisted, or behaving strangely. | One-Time Services → Emergency Recovery |
| Important emails are landing in spam, getting delayed, or not arriving (invoices, confirmations, password resets). | One-Time Services → Email Authentication Setup |
| You recently changed domains/providers and want to make sure SPF/DKIM/DMARC are correct and aligned. | One-Time Services → Email Authentication Setup |
| You’re actively landing in spam, warming up a new domain, or recovering after phishing/compromise. | One-Time Services → Full Email Deliverability Package |
| Email is mission-critical and you want ongoing visibility into deliverability and domain reputation. | Ongoing (Add-On) → Deliverability Monitoring & Adjustments |
| You want someone to keep everything updated, monitored, and backed up every month. | Ongoing Protection Plans |
| You can’t afford downtime, lost leads, or a damaged reputation from a hack. | Ongoing Protection Plans |
Whether you need a one-time deep dive or full-time protection, Stonegate gives you a clear, plain-English path forward.
One-time services are deep, expert-led audits or clean-ups you pay for once. They’re ideal when you have a specific problem to solve: a hacked site, a new launch, or a need for a full health check.
Ongoing protection plans are month-to-month. They keep your site updated, monitored, backed up, and secure all the time — so you don’t have to think about it.
Yes. Many businesses start with a one-time service like the Full Website Health & Security Scan or AI & GEO Visibility Audit to understand where they stand.
Once you have a clear picture and a prioritized action list, you can move into an ongoing plan so those fixes, updates, and checks keep happening automatically.
No. All ongoing protection plans are month-to-month.
You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. One-time services are a single fixed payment with no recurring commitment.
Our free checks are quick automated snapshots — they show surface-level signals like basic security, GEO hints, or AI visibility, but they do not include manual review, deep diagnosis, or a prioritized action plan.
The paid one-time services and ongoing plans are hands-on, expert-led. A human reviews the results, verifies issues, explains what they mean in plain English, and tells you exactly what to fix first.
Yes. Stonegate works with all major platforms, including WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, Shopify, and custom-built sites.
Some features (like plugin updates) are specific to WordPress, but security monitoring, backups, hardening, visibility checks, and AI/GEO work apply across all platforms.
A simple rule of thumb:
- If you have a specific problem to solve (possible hack, new launch, visibility issues), start with a one-time service.
- If your website is critical to your business and you want someone to own security and maintenance long-term, choose an ongoing protection plan.
If you’re still unsure, reach out and tell us a little about your site — we’ll recommend a starting point with no pressure.
Yes. Stonegate offers email deliverability services designed to make sure your legitimate business emails reach the inbox.
This includes SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup and verification, plus deeper deliverability troubleshooting when spam filtering or reputation issues are involved.
Both — depending on what’s going on.
- If you need the technical foundation fixed and verified, that’s a one-time service (authentication setup).
- If you’re actively landing in spam or recovering from a damaged reputation, that’s a full deliverability package and may include monitoring and adjustments over time.
If email is mission-critical, ongoing monitoring can be added later.
No. Stonegate does not run email marketing campaigns or manage bulk lists.
This work is infrastructure-level deliverability — making sure invoices, confirmations, newsletters, password resets, and client communication reliably reach real inboxes.
