Who is behind Rank Forge

Blair Henderson is founder and lead strategist. He holds a B.S. in Kinesiology from Louisiana State University, where he was a track and field student-athlete, and an M.S. in Public Health from the University of Memphis. He is ACSM and NASM certified, with expertise in GA4, Klaviyo, and Shopify. The full background is on the about page and on LinkedIn.

Operator experience

  • Elite Training Services: a Houston fitness and online-coaching business Blair founded and grew to 80+ clients and an audience of more than 90,000 followers through branding, social, and retention. It was profiled by CanvasRebel.
  • CannaWize Co: an e-commerce brand where Blair personally drove over $750K in revenue through technical SEO, Klaviyo email flows, and conversion optimization, including rebuilding strategy from scratch to recover revenue through a major industry disruption.

E-commerce growth

Work in this area covers technical SEO, lifecycle email on Shopify and Klaviyo, and conversion rate optimization. For an example of the SEO result, see the CannaWize Co case study: search impressions up 143% and organic clicks up 99% in the 3 months after an editorial redesign, compared with the 3 months prior.
