## FAQ

Q: Is the website really free?
A: Yes. The build is R0 upfront. You then pay R950 a month for hosting, maintenance, a monthly ranking report, and SEO/GEO/AEO updates.

Q: Who owns the website and the domain?
A: Mahala Websites owns the website and the domain. R950 a month is a licence to use a hosted site, not a purchase of the files or the domain.

Q: What happens if I cancel?
A: After go-live you can leave with 30 days’ written notice: hosting stops and the site comes down. Custom domains you already owned stay yours (you unpoint DNS); the website stays with Mahala.

Q: Can I take the site with me?
A: The design, code, copy and CMS stay with Mahala. A paid handover is available on request. We will quote a one-off handover.

Q: What if I walk away before launch?
A: The site is not published if you walk away before launch. One revision is included on the first draft only.

Q: Do you guarantee first-page or #1 rankings?
A: No. We do not guarantee #1 rankings. We promise the work: a monthly ranking report and we keep the site current for search, generative, and answer engines.

Q: How long does the build take?
A: There is no 24-hour delivery on this product. The process is one meeting, one questionnaire, one revision, then live on the monthly retainer.

Q: What is included in R950 a month?
A: R950 a month covers hosting, maintenance, a monthly ranking report, and SEO/GEO/AEO updates so the site stays current.

Q: Do I keep a domain I already own?
A: Yes. A custom domain you already owned stays yours. You point DNS at us while you are on retainer, and you unpoint it if you leave.

Q: How do I start?
A: Book the meeting, fill the questionnaire, or WhatsApp 074 837 5701. Public contact is that number and info@mahalawebsite.co.za.
