We watch every connected site so a hack can't quietly kill your rankings. When something is wrong, we say so in plain language and tell you exactly what to do next.
Security isn't a detour from SEO. For the kind of customer we serve, it's the biggest hidden SEO risk there is.
The security problems that hurt your Google rankings, checked on every connected site.
We check whether Google has marked your site as unsafe for malware, phishing, or unwanted software. This is the single most important warning sign that your site is about to disappear from search results. Runs on every site, whatever it's built with.
Every siteHackers slip hidden links into your live pages that point to gambling, pharma, or other junk. It's an attack on your rankings, using your site's good name. We load your site the way a visitor does and find them.
Every siteBreak-ins often leave hidden scripts and redirects buried in your live pages. We read the page your visitors actually get and flag the parts that don't belong, so a quiet infection doesn't run for weeks unnoticed.
Every siteA secure site loads over https, shown by the padlock in the address bar. Google favors secure sites and visitors leave when a browser shows a "Not secure" warning. We check your site loads securely and flag it when it doesn't.
Every siteWhen a WordPress site gets broken into, the attacker often leaves behind a fake add-on with a harmless-looking name like "WordPress Fix" and no real maker behind it. Real add-ons always say who made them and what they do. We spot the blank, nameless ones and flag them so you can remove them.
WordPressRanking Protection only reads your site. It never changes, updates, or deletes anything.
A wrong automatic change to a live, hacked site can do more damage than the hack. So when we find a problem, we don't try to fix it in the background. We tell you what's wrong, in plain language, and exactly what to do next. When a problem needs real cleanup, we can handle that for you as a hands-on paid service, with your say-so first.
The honest version. Different site types have very different risks, so we're upfront about what we cover on each.
| Platform | What we watch | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | Everything below, plus a deeper look for nameless dropper add-ons and injected content inside the site itself. WordPress has the widest exposure, so it gets the deepest scan. | Full |
| Wix, Webflow & GitHub | Google flag status, injected spam links, and injected malicious code, read straight off your live pages. These hosts run the servers themselves, so there's less to break into than on WordPress. We cover the parts that affect your rankings and say so plainly rather than pretend to cover more. | Essentials |
Set-and-forget, like everything else in Scaup. No dashboard to babysit.
The detection engine is built and running in production. Every check described above works today on connected sites, across every platform we support.
Every connected site runs a full check once a week on its own, so a problem gets caught within days, not next month. Blacklist status is time-sensitive, and this keeps it watched. This runs for every paying site on every plan.
When a check turns up a problem, you get told what it is and what to do about it, in words anyone can follow. No scores, no wall of technical issues.
If a weekly check turns up something serious, you get a single email that says what we found and what to do about it. You only hear from us when a new problem appears, never the same warning over and over. There's also a safety card on the site page, which we're switching on site by site as it rolls out. The calm "your site is protected" line in your recap email is coming after that.
Ranking Protection is the one place we drop the always-positive tone, on purpose.
We never dump a scary list of problems on you. When something's wrong, we lead with what to do about it: "We found spam links on 2 of your pages. Here's where they are and how to get them off."
A green "all clear" that hides a real infection would destroy trust. If something is wrong, we tell you, clearly and specifically. This is the one feature exempt from our usual good-news-only rule.
Why this makes Scaup easier to sell.
Our customer built a site with an AI tool and doesn't know what a nulled plugin is. "Set it up once and we'll make sure nobody quietly wrecks it" is an easy promise to understand and an easy one to say yes to. It also opens a natural paid upsell: when we find a real infection, we offer to clean it up for you, the same managed-service model that already worked on past jobs.
No, and we won't pretend it is. It watches for the security problems that specifically hurt your Google rankings and catches them early. For deep cleanup of a real infection, we offer a hands-on paid service.
No. Ranking Protection only reads your site, it never writes to it. When we find a problem we tell you what it is and what to do next. If you want us to handle the cleanup, we can do that as a separate paid service, only with your go-ahead.
Wix handles the server security, so there's less to worry about there. We still watch the parts that affect your rankings: whether Google has flagged you, and whether spam links or malicious code have snuck onto your live pages.
The detection is live and running in production across every platform we support. The self-serve view, a line in your recap email and a safety card on your dashboard, is rolling out next. Until then, our team keeps an eye on it and flags anything urgent.
