Questions
How do I hire Forge Vertical?
Send a short brief through the free quote form, WhatsApp or the Contra profile. I reply with questions, a fixed scope and a price, and work starts once you approve it.
Do you guarantee page-one rankings?
No, and nobody honest can. I build the technical foundation, structure and content that give a site the best chance to rank, then set up tracking so you can see what is happening.
What time zone do you work in?
South African Standard Time (SAST, UTC+2, no daylight saving). Working hours are 08:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday. I answer messages outside those hours when I can.
Who owns the finished site or app?
You do. Code, content and accounts are handed over to you at the end of the project.
What is the Forge Vertical portal?
A client dashboard at portal.forgevertical.com that tracks site health, Search Console data and more. It is free for clients I build for.
Ready to start?
Send a short brief and I'll reply with a scope and a fixed price.
Working hours 08:00 to 17:00 SAST (UTC+2), Mon to Fri.
