Website Hacked

Home » Guides » Website Hacked

Do you think your website has been hacked?

If you have noticed that your website is acting strange, it could be caused by malware, which is how cybercriminals steal your data. Most websites on the internet use a content management system, or CMS, which allows webmasters to manage the data and content on a website. CMS websites must be properly managed and have solid security measures in place.

Symptoms of a hacked website can include:

Strange symbols where letters should be
Ads suddenly appearing on your website
Your website is displaying something other than your services

If these things are happening to you, it could mean your website has been hacked. And that could mean problems for your website’s online presence and ranking.

Hacked websites hurt your rankings!

A hacked website will not display correctly. Your customers may not even be able to visit your website. Ultimately, Google will begin to de-index your website and you will lose ranking on their search engine, leaving you without the exposure your business needs to thrive.

At Gemini Media Group, we can identify malware that has infected your website, diagnose website errors, and provide solutions that will ensure your website is displaying and running properly for your customers.

Q. My domain name was lost. What can I do?

A. The most common reason domain names are lost is due to expiration. You can avoid this by setting up auto renewal with your domain’s registrar. If you do find yourself with an expired domain, contact your domain registrar right away. If you act quickly, you may still be able to renew. We can assist you with this. Contact or call us today!

Q. Why did my website disappear from Google?

A. If you cannot find your website through a Google search, you may not have proper optimization or you may have been penalized by Google due to something in the content on your website.

Q. How can I get my website to rank or improve its ranking on Google?

A. Content, links from other websites, and overall user experience all play key roles in high website rankings on Google. You can maximize the positioning of your website by ensuring you maintain relevant content that is optimized for users doing local, mobile searches for your type of business. Page speed and quality links—from other websites to yours and from your website to others—will also keep your website at the top of rankings.

Q. How do I generate more calls from my website?

A. Make it easy for customers to call you by placing your phone number prominently on your website. Make sure all contact information on your website, including emails and phone numbers, is up to date.

Q. What are some best security practices for my website?

A. You can protect your website by doing the following:

Use a unique password that is hard to guess but easy to remember, and includes letters, numbers, and symbols.

Monitor activity on your website, including traffic that seems unusual or suddenly increases without explanation.
