Tech Rescue

Something's Broken.
Let's Go Fix It.

Your site loads like it's on dial-up, or Google suspended your Business Profile and won't say why. We start with a $150 flat-rate diagnosis, then quote a fixed price to fix it.

Your Site Is Slow.
Here's How We Fix It.

Page speed is a Google ranking factor. A site that takes 6 seconds to load on mobile costs you customers and search visibility at the same time. The usual culprits: unoptimized images, plugin bloat, cheap shared hosting, or a page builder installed in 2017 that never left.

We run a full speed audit, find what's actually causing the slowdown, and fix it. Target: under 2 seconds on mobile. Most sites can hit it, and you can measure the result on day one.

Your GBP Got Suspended.
We've Done This Before.

A GBP suspension is the digital version of your kid getting detention: unclear why, inconvenient, and always at the worst time. Google suspends profiles for duplicate listings, keyword stuffing in the business name, address issues, or "unspecified violations."

Reinstatement isn't intuitive. We identify the actual trigger, clean up the profile, submit a reinstatement request with the right documentation, and follow up, because Google's support is slow to respond. We know what works and what makes it worse.

Most Common Reasons
Google Suspends a Business Profile

Google rarely explains exactly why it suspended your profile. After handling enough of these, patterns emerge. These are the most common triggers, and none of them is obvious until you know what to look for:

  • Keyword stuffing in the business name: If your business is called "Smith Plumbing" but your GBP says "Smith Plumbing, Emergency Plumber 24/7 Cincinnati," that violates Google's guidelines. The name field should match your legal or commonly known business name and nothing else.
  • Duplicate listings: A previous owner, a franchise, or an accidental second claim created a competing listing for the same location. Google sees two profiles at the same address and suspends both until the conflict is resolved.
  • Address inconsistency: Your GBP address doesn't match the address on your website, your Yelp listing, or your legal business registration. Google cross-references these and flags big discrepancies.
  • Service-area business showing a physical address it doesn't staff: If you go to the customer (a service-area business), listing a home address or virtual office as a storefront location violates Google's policy.
  • Suspicious review spike: A sudden influx of reviews, even legitimate ones, can trigger an algorithmic flag and a suspension pending manual review.
  • Unspecified violation: Sometimes Google's automated systems flag a profile for reasons that aren't obvious. This is the hardest category to diagnose without auditing the entire profile against current guidelines.

WordPress Site Speed:
What's Actually Slowing You Down

Every speed tool tells you your site is slow. Almost none tell you why in a way you can act on. The tools report symptoms like "render-blocking resources," "unused JavaScript," and "large layout shifts." Those are real issues, but they come from the actual causes. These cause most slow WordPress sites:

  • Unoptimized images: The most common cause by a wide margin. A site built in 2018 with full-resolution JPEGs uploaded straight from a camera or iPhone loads 4–8MB of image data on every page. Compression and modern formats (WebP) cut that by 60–80% with no visible quality loss.
  • Plugin bloat: A page builder, a slider, a contact form, an SEO plugin, and a gallery plugin each load their own CSS and JavaScript files, even on pages that don't use them. We audit which plugins load what and remove the waste.
  • No caching: WordPress builds pages from a database on every request. Without caching, your server does the same work for every visitor. A caching layer serves pre-built pages to most visitors with a fraction of the load.
  • Shared hosting throttling: The hosting itself is the bottleneck. No amount of optimization fully makes up for a server overloaded by other sites on the same machine. Sometimes the fastest fix is better hosting.
  • Third-party scripts: Live chat widgets, Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tracking, and heatmap tools each add an external request your page waits on. We audit third-party script load order and defer or remove anything that isn't essential.

The Rescue Process:
What Happens After You Contact Us

Here's what happens when you submit a rescue request:

  1. Reply within one business day: You describe the problem, and we ask questions to narrow the scope before we start billing. We don't pitch a retainer.
  2. Flat-rate diagnosis ($150): We audit the relevant system (site speed analysis, GBP profile review, or malware scan) and deliver a written summary of findings within 2 business days. You see what's wrong, why it happened, and what it will take to fix it. You're under no obligation to proceed.
  3. Fixed-price repair quote: If you want us to fix it, we quote a flat price before we touch anything. The quote is the price, so the bill doesn't grow as we find more issues.
  4. Repair and handoff: We make the fix, verify it works, and send you a plain-English summary of everything we changed. For GBP reinstatements, we walk you through what to avoid in the future. For speed fixes, you get before/after metrics. For hacked sites, we show you the entry point and what we patched.

You pay a flat diagnosis fee and a fixed repair price. There's no retainer, so you can get back to running your business.

What We Fix

Three Problems.
One Flat-Rate Diagnosis.

Rescue starts with a $150 flat-rate diagnosis. You get a clear picture of the problem, then decide whether you want us to fix it.

Slow Site

Full speed audit, image optimization, plugin cleanup, and hosting upgrades. We find the actual bottleneck and fix it instead of running Lighthouse and handing you a PDF.

Suspended Google Business Profile

We identify the suspension trigger, clean up the profile, submit the reinstatement request with the right documentation, and follow up with Google for you.

Hacked or Broken Site

Malware removal, redirect fixes, blacklist removal requests (Google, Norton, McAfee), and patching the entry point so it doesn't happen again next month.

Prevention & Hardening

After every rescue, you get a plain-English explanation of what happened and what we changed so it doesn't happen again.

Service FAQ

Rescue Questions,
Answered.

Quick answers before you submit a rescue request.

The flat-rate diagnosis is $150. It covers a full audit of the relevant system: site speed, GBP profile, or malware scan. You get a written summary of findings within 2 business days. If you want us to fix it, we quote a fixed price before touching anything.

No. The diagnosis gives you a clear picture of the problem and a fixed-price repair quote, and you decide whether to go ahead. If it's something you can fix yourself, we'll tell you.

Diagnosis takes 2 business days. Repair time depends on the issue. Most speed fixes and malware removals are done within 3–5 business days. GBP reinstatements depend on Google's review process, which can take 3–14 days. We'll give you an estimate before we start.

We can't guarantee Google's decision. We do promise to submit the strongest reinstatement case we can and follow up correctly. We've handled enough of these to know what triggers suspensions and what documentation Google responds to.

First, don't create a new profile. That makes reinstatement harder. Don't delete the suspended profile either. Next, identify the likely cause: check your business name for keyword stuffing, check for duplicate listings, and verify your address is consistent across the web. Clean up whatever violated the policy, then submit a reinstatement request through the GBP appeal form with documentation that shows you're a legitimate, operating business. Helpful documentation includes a business license, a utility bill at the business address, and photos of the actual location. If you're a service-area business with no storefront, the requirements differ. We handle these regularly and know what Google's review team looks for.

Mobile slowness usually comes from images, hosting, or both. Mobile connections are slower than desktop, so a site that loads fine on desktop Wi-Fi can feel unusable on a phone. The biggest culprits are full-resolution images that were never compressed for the web, a page builder plugin loading megabytes of CSS and JavaScript the mobile version doesn't need, and shared hosting that throttles under load. We run a mobile speed audit, find the actual bottlenecks, and fix them, then show you a before/after mobile load time so you can see what changed.

Don't restore a backup and hope. That puts the same vulnerable code back live. A proper cleanup has three phases. First, remove all malware from files, database tables, and injected scripts. Second, find and patch the entry point, usually an outdated plugin, theme, or WordPress core version with a known exploit. Third, submit blacklist removal requests so Google and security databases stop flagging your URL as dangerous. We handle all three and add a security hardening layer that makes reinfection harder. Most malware cleanups take 24–48 hours from diagnosis to a clean verification scan.

Every rescue comes with a plain-English post-mortem: what happened, how it got in (or what triggered the suspension), and the steps to prevent a repeat. For speed issues, we document the optimizations we made and the baseline performance so you can tell if something regresses. For GBP suspensions, we give you a short list of what to avoid with your profile, especially changes to the business name, address, and category that could re-trigger a review. For hacked sites, we outline the ongoing maintenance habits (plugin updates, hosting quality, user access management) that prevent a repeat.
