A Cannabis SEO agency focuses on cannabis SEO, which takes a good amount of understanding. A normal agency is usually a social media/ PPC marketing company that outsources their SEO to freelancers or another agency altogether. Plenty of digital marketing companies promise the world to their customers but can’t deliver because don’t understand the cannabis industry.

Unlike other DMA’s that literally outsource all of their “SEO” to other agencies or try to hire a couple of new freelancers every couple months, we do handle it all ourselves. Because of this, we are very picky about the clients that we work with. With us, it’s about way more than running a 7 figure agency and having tons of clients. We actually care about getting our clients results.
We care about getting our clients results that generate revenue. We make sure the results we deliver justify the investment. Our core principles help us establish long lasting relationships with out clients.
Many SEO companies will send you a monthly report, and only talk to you when there’s an issue with the invoicing ( You may have had this experience already).
We pride ourselves in understanding your goals, and working with you to achieve them. While we love to communicate great news to our clients, we actually prefer to schedule at least one monthly meeting to go over the work being done and cover what’s happening next. Many of our clients are too busy to talk after a few months of SEO work…. which just means that we are doing our job 🙂
