Common questions

Questions dealers ask before they switch.

We know you have questions. Here are answers to the most common ones about launch, domains, inventory, SEO, branding, and support.

How long does launch take?

Most dealerships go live within 7 days. We handle the heavy lifting so you can stay focused on sales.

Do we keep our domain?

Yes. You keep full ownership of your domain. We'll handle the setup and make the transition easy.

Will our inventory feed move over?

Yes. We'll migrate your inventory feed and make sure your vehicles, photos, and details are accurate on day one.

What happens to SEO?

We migrate SEO essentials, set up proper redirects, and help you maintain (and improve) your search visibility.

Are there long-term contracts?

No. We believe in earning your business, not locking you in. Our pricing is simple and flexible.

Can you match our branding?

Absolutely. We design your site to match your branding, logo, colors, and style — or help you modernize it.

Do you work with independents and franchises?

Yes. We work with independent dealers, franchise groups, and multi-store operations of all sizes.

Do you integrate with our tools?

Yes. We integrate with leading DMS, inventory providers, CRM tools, and more. If you have a custom setup, we can likely support that too.

What kind of support do we get?

You get a real team, not a call center. Our U.S.-based support team is here to help whenever you need it.

Can you replace our CarsForSale.com website?

Yes — it's one of our most common switches. A CarsForSale.com website is a template bundled with a listings service; DealerForge builds a custom, sub-second site that ranks under your own domain. We migrate your inventory and redirect every URL, so your Google rankings survive the move.

What's the best website provider for independent car dealers?

It depends on your store. Legacy platforms like DealerOn and Dealer.com are built around franchise OEM programs, and budget templates trade quality for price. DealerForge is built for independent and specialty dealers — custom design, sub-second page loads, 100/100 SEO scores, and one flat monthly rate.

How much does a dealership website cost?

Legacy providers typically run $1,500–$3,000+ per month once packages and add-ons stack up, while budget templates start around $99 and look like it. DealerForge is one flat monthly rate with design, hosting, SEO, and inventory sync all included — book a demo and we'll quote your store the same day.
