What could a hack
cost your business?
A compromised WordPress site costs more than the cleanup bill. Estimate the real impact - lost traffic, lost sales, recovery time - and compare it to prevention.
How we calculate this
We start with the direct cost of the cleanup itself - a flat-rate hacked site recovery plus hardening. Then we add the business impact: traffic lost while the site is flagged or down, sales or leads forgone during that window, and the hours of your time (or your team's) spent dealing with it.
We keep it conservative. The estimate counts only the visible window - it does not include the customers who never come back, the Google ranking ground lost while the site was flagged, or the stress of handling it alone.
A care plan includes daily security scanning, updates, backups, and monitoring - the routine work that keeps most sites from ever being hacked in the first place.
The numbers behind the estimate
What actually drives hack costs
The estimate combines three things: what the cleanup itself costs, what the downtime costs you in lost sales or leads, and what your time costs while you deal with it. The variable most people underestimate is time - a hack that takes a professional four hours can take an owner four days of evenings, because the real work is diagnosis, not deletion.
The cheapest hack is the one prevented. Updates, backups, a security plugin, and limiting admin accounts cost a fraction of any cleanup. If your estimate came back high, the leverage is not in negotiating the cleanup price - it is in making sure this is the last one.
