The challenge

Paid channels are largely closed to cannabis. Growth has to come from organic search and, increasingly, from being the source AI assistants cite when operators ask compliance questions.

What we did

Built topic authority around state-by-state licensing and compliance — the questions operators actually search.
Engineered the site for answer engines: structured data, direct-answer content, and clean, crawlable pages.
Ran a continuous backlink and authority program, lifting referring domains 16% in a quarter.

The result

A 99 site health score, a perfect 100 on AI-answer readiness, 876 backlinks from 335 referring domains, and 66,858 monthly impressions feeding a 27,000+ subscriber list — all tracked live in the portal.
