Use cases

Website monitoring built for web agencies

Watch uptime, SSL, DNS and email security across every client site, then prove your value with branded monthly reports.

Quick answer

How does website monitoring work for a web agency?

A web agency adds each client domain to SiteGuard Monitor, which runs passive read-only checks on uptime, SSL expiry, DNS records, email security and security headers. It calculates a 0-100 risk score, sends instant email and Discord alerts when something breaks, and generates white-label monthly PDF reports the agency sends to clients under its own brand.

If you build and maintain client sites, problems become your problems the moment a client notices first. SiteGuard Monitor watches every domain you manage so you catch expired certificates, downtime and DNS changes before the phone rings, and turns that ongoing oversight into a branded service clients happily pay for.

The problem agencies face

Once a site launches, monitoring it usually falls through the cracks. Certificates expire silently, DNS records drift after a migration, and email starts landing in spam because SPF or DMARC was never set. You find out when a client emails 'the site is down' or 'our emails bounce' and a routine afternoon turns into emergency firefighting.

  • Surprise SSL expiries that break checkout and erode trust
  • Downtime discovered by the client before you
  • No clear way to show clients the ongoing value of a retainer

How SiteGuard Monitor helps

Add every client domain to one multi-client dashboard and let SiteGuard run continuous, passive checks. Each site gets an explainable 0-100 risk score so you can prioritise across your whole book at a glance, and instant alerts reach you the moment a check fails.

  • One dashboard for every client site you manage
  • Explainable risk score that ranks what needs attention
  • Instant email and Discord alerts on failures

The checks we run

  • Uptime: HTTP/HTTPS availability and response checks
  • SSL: certificate expiry and validity warnings before they lapse
  • DNS: record monitoring to catch drift after migrations
  • Email security: SPF and DMARC checks to protect deliverability
  • Security headers: missing or weak headers flagged on every page

From domain to client-ready report

The workflow is simple and repeatable across your whole client base.

  • Add a client domain and run an instant scan
  • Set alerts so you hear about problems first
  • Generate a branded monthly PDF or HTML report
  • Send it to the client under your own logo and colours
  • Optionally publish a public status page for that client

Why agencies use it

  • Turn monitoring into recurring monthly revenue
  • Fewer surprise 'the site is down' calls
  • Tangible proof of the work behind every retainer
  • Stronger client trust and renewals through proactive care

Safe by design

SiteGuard runs passive, read-only checks only. There is no aggressive scanning, no penetration testing and no load on your clients' infrastructure. It is a secure SaaS that observes from the outside, the same way a visitor or mail server would, so you can monitor client sites with confidence.

Frequently asked questions

Can I monitor unlimited client sites?
You add as many client domains as your plan covers and manage them from a single multi-client dashboard. Each domain gets its own checks, risk score, alerts and report. See pricing for the limits on each plan.
Are the reports really white-label?
Yes. Monthly PDF and HTML reports carry your agency's logo, colours and name, not ours. Clients see your brand throughout, so the monitoring looks like a native part of your service.
Will monitoring slow down or risk my clients' sites?
No. All checks are passive and read-only, performed from the outside like a normal visitor or mail server. There is no aggressive scanning or load testing, so client infrastructure is never stressed.
How fast are alerts when a site goes down?
Alerts fire as soon as a check fails and reach you instantly by email and Discord. That means you usually know about downtime, an expired certificate or a DNS change before your client does.
Do I need to install anything on client servers?
No installation is required. You simply add the domain and SiteGuard checks it externally. There is nothing to deploy, no agent, and no access to your clients' hosting needed.
Can I let clients see their own status?
Yes. You can publish a branded public status page per client so they can self-check availability, which reduces inbound 'is the site up?' questions to your team.
