Marketing for Hemp & CBD Dispensaries
SEO, e-commerce setup, and email marketing for hemp and CBD dispensaries. We build the store, product pages, and local visibility that bring in customers, within the limits your products and state allow.
Hemp and CBD shops face two problems at once. Most ad platforms restrict the category, and many payment processors and store platforms either decline it or review it closely. A store that looks fine can still get its checkout turned off, so setup order matters as much as design.
Customers shop carefully here too. They want to see lab results, know where the product comes from, and compare brands before they buy. Product pages that answer those questions, supported by reviews and clear shipping and age rules, convert better and earn more organic traffic than thin category pages.

Keeping Up With Hemp Rules
Hemp rules at the federal and state level keep changing, and they affect which products you can list and ship. We build your catalog so products can be updated, moved, or removed quickly, and we flag items that need a second look.

Cannabis and hemp rules differ by state and change often. We build your marketing around your license and your state's advertising rules, and you stay responsible for compliance. Nothing here is legal advice.
Common Questions
Can you sell CBD online with a normal payment processor?
Many mainstream processors restrict hemp and CBD, and approval depends on your products and lab results. We set up the store with a processor that approves your catalog before launch, and we help you prepare the documentation they ask for.
Do you add lab results and COAs to product pages?
Yes. Certificates of analysis, ingredient lists, and potency information get built into each product page. They answer the questions customers ask before buying and are a strong trust signal for search.
Can you run Google or Meta ads for CBD?
It depends on the platform, the product type, and your state, and the rules change. We check current policy for your products first. Most of our plans for hemp and CBD rely on organic search, local SEO, content, and email and SMS rather than paid platforms.
How do you handle changing hemp regulations?
We build the catalog, categories, and product pages so they are easy to update when a product or rule changes, and we flag products that need review in your state. Staying compliant is still your responsibility, and we recommend confirming major changes with a cannabis attorney.
Do you write health benefit claims?
No. We write product information, usage guidance, and education within FDA and state rules. We do not claim a product treats, cures, or prevents a condition.
Can you help a physical hemp shop and an online store work together?
Yes. We run local SEO for the storefront and e-commerce for the online store together, so pickup, shipping, and in-store customers all land on a site built to sell to them.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. We work in three-month minimums with a free proposal upfront, whether you decide to hire us or not.
