Monitor Plan for a Small Business Website

Short answer: The Monitor plan of Site AI Audit costs €9 a month and is built for one website that matters to a small business. It includes 5 checks per month, the full report with every detail and affected page, a re-check after every fix, e-mail alerts when something breaks and a PDF report. The point of the plan is the loop: check, fix, check again, so that every improvement is confirmed instead of assumed.

Who the Monitor plan is for

The pricing page describes Monitor as “Full reports for your website”. It suits a shop owner, a consultant, a clinic or a restaurant with one website that brings in customers and no full-time developer. These businesses share a pattern. The website was built a few years ago, it works, and nobody is sure what has quietly gone wrong since. There is no budget for a monthly agency retainer, but a broken contact form or an expired certificate would cost real money.

For a business like this, the full report is the valuable part. It shows what is wrong in four areas, SEO, speed, security and e-mail, ranked by impact, and explains each problem in plain language with a fix. Monitor is the smallest plan that unlocks it, at €9 a month, in euros without VAT, with yearly billing giving two months free.

What you get for €9

According to the live pricing page, Monitor includes:

5 checks per month, each covering up to 10,000 pages.
The full report with every detail and affected page.
1 background check at once.
Re-check after every fix.
E-mail alerts when something breaks.
A PDF report.

The comparison table on the page adds one more detail: monitoring and alerts on Monitor come “after each check”. That means the alert follows a check that you run, instead of arriving from a daily watch, which is something the Business plan adds.

The loop that makes the plan work

An audit report on its own is a list. The improvement comes from what you do with it. The Monitor plan is organised around a loop of four steps:

Check. Run the audit and read the findings from the top. The report ranks them by impact.
Fix. Pick the critical findings first, and then the warnings. Use the instruction under each finding.
Re-check. Run the audit again. The finding should be gone. If not, the fix did not take, which is itself useful to know.
Keep the result. Save the PDF, so you have a record of where the site stood and what you changed.

The value of step three is easy to underestimate. Without a re-check you have to trust that your change worked, and many do not on the first try: a cache serves the old page, a plugin overrides a setting or a DNS change has not spread yet. A re-check is the difference between believing a problem is fixed and knowing it.

How the alerts work after a check

On a paid plan, the alert that follows a check compares the new result with the previous one. It shows your score moving from one number to another, and it lists new critical issues and a few new warnings or notices that were not present before. That is more useful than a bare “your report is ready” message. If last month’s check was clean and this month’s shows a new critical finding, you know that something changed in between, such as a certificate that reached its limit or a plugin that was updated.

Because alerts follow checks, think of the plan as a monthly routine rather than a watchdog. A full check starts when you press the button. A sensible habit is to run one at the beginning of each month and another after any significant change to the site.

How to spend your five checks

Five checks a month is more than it sounds. A plan for a small site could look like this:

Check 1, at the start of the month: a full baseline. Read the report and write down the three to five findings that matter most.
Checks 2 and 3: re-checks after you fix a first and a second batch.
Check 4: after any change you make, such as a new plugin, a redesign of one page or a hosting change.
Check 5: a reserve for the unexpected, or a check of a second site if you have one.

Unused checks do not carry over to the next month, so there is no reason to hoard them. If you find that five are not enough, the Business plan has 20.

What to do with the PDF report

The PDF is the practical part for people who work with others. Send it to the person who maintains your hosting with the findings you want fixed, attach it to a message to your web developer, or keep it as a dated record before and after a redesign. A report that you can forward is easier to act on than a screen that only you can see. If your developer needs help, the report’s “Fix it for me” option leads to an estimate from Internet Solutions, as described in the article on the Fix It for Me button.

When Monitor is not enough

Monitor fits one site and one person. If you need daily SSL and e-mail checks, alerts that reach your team, more than five checks a month or a history of results, look at Business at €29 a month. If you do audits for clients and want your own logo on reports, Agency is the plan, with 100 checks per month. Start with Monitor if you are unsure; you can change or cancel your plan at any time, and your reports stay in your account.

Make the report useful to other people

Most small businesses do not fix everything themselves, so the report becomes a brief for somebody else: a freelancer, the host’s support or an agency. A good brief is short. Choose the three findings with the biggest impact, forward the PDF and say what you want done and by when. It also helps to say what you do not want changed, for example the design of the home page. If you would like to read how to interpret the score and the severity labels before you brief anyone, the guide to reading a Site AI Audit report explains each part.

Keeping the habit

Plans like this fail when the routine fades. The simplest defence is a recurring calendar entry on the first working day of the month with one line in it: run the check, read the top three findings. If nothing new has appeared, you spent ten minutes. If something has, you found it in days instead of months. Over a year the habit is worth more than any single fix, because websites change through updates, new content and expiring services, even when nobody touches them.

What a good month looks like

By the end of a month on Monitor, a typical small site has run a baseline check, fixed the top findings, confirmed each fix with a re-check and saved a PDF. The report is shorter than it was, the score is higher and, more importantly, you know why. The next month starts from a better place, and the first check takes ten minutes to read because the big problems are gone. That compounding effect is the real return on €9: not a single dramatic fix, but a site that stays in shape because someone looks at it regularly.

A worked example

A dental clinic has a five-page site built by a freelancer. The owner subscribes to Monitor and runs the first check. The report shows a critical finding for a missing DMARC record, a warning for pages without meta descriptions and a warning for a slow server response. She forwards the PDF to her freelancer, who adds the DMARC record and descriptions in an afternoon, and asks the host about caching. The owner re-checks twice during the month, confirms that each fix worked and sees the score rise. At the end of the month, she has a PDF from the beginning and one from the end that show the improvement, which she files with the other records of the business.

The bottom line

For €9 a month, Monitor gives a small business the full report, re-checks after every fix, e-mail alerts after each check and a PDF to share. Use it as a monthly routine: check, fix, re-check and keep the result.
