What Cannabis SEO Includes
ColaDigital's cannabis SEO starts at $3,500 a month (USD) after a free review and a written quote. Each month covers technical fixes, the pages closest to sales, content priorities, internal linking and links from relevant sites, with your visibility in Google and AI answers measured and reported.
In our published case studies, the first measurable gains showed up within 60 to 90 days. Competitive searches take longer, and nobody can honestly promise a ranking.
Trusted by Cannabis Brands, Retail Operators, and Growth-Focused Teams
Every logo represents a business that trusted ColaDigital with an important part of its growth. Some engagements focused on SEO, others on advertising, consulting, technical strategy, or long-term marketing support, but every relationship started the same way: understanding the business first before recommending a solution.

- Link building. Links to those pages from relevant cannabis, industry and local sites.

AI Search
Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other AI tools answer questions using sites they can read and trust. Every month we check whether your brand appears in AI answers and search features for your main searches, fix what makes your pages hard to quote (thin answers, missing facts, messy structure) and report what changed.
Google Ads, not SEO
Search work doesn't stop at SEO. Our Google Ads campaign for Labstat, a testing lab serving the cannabis industry, brought in 57 qualified B2B leads in its first 30 days. Read the Labstat case study
"Worked with Vee for almost two years and found him extremely accessible and always available. He took the time to explain not only what was being done, but why."
Alex Salaman, LabstatRelated Services
Cannabis SEO often runs alongside technical SEO, content writing and link building. Stores focused on local shoppers usually start with dispensary SEO.
Cannabis SEO FAQs
How much does cannabis SEO cost?
Our cannabis SEO starts at $3,500 a month in US dollars. Quotes for Canadian clients are in CAD. Larger sites, more markets or extra content and links cost more, and you get the exact figure in a written quote after the free review.
Is there a contract?
No long contract. Cannabis SEO runs month to month with 30 days' notice. SEO usually needs about three months to show measurable results, so we plan the first 90 days with you up front, but you're never locked in.
How long until cannabis SEO shows results?
In our case studies, clients saw measurable gains within 60 to 90 days, wider gains across several stores at about six months, and page-one rankings for competitive B2B terms at about 18 months. Your timeline depends on your site, your market and your competitors.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Google decides rankings, and any agency promising a position is guessing. We report what changed each month and why.
What's in the monthly report?
Rankings for your main searches, organic traffic, the leads or sales search brought in, your visibility in AI answers and search features, and the work done that month, with what changed and why. You also get a monthly call with Vee and can email him anytime. Some clients get weekly reports as well.
Can you get our Dutchie or Jane menu to rank?
Often, yes. An embedded menu usually hides products from Google, so we work with your platform to give products, categories and locations pages Google can read. How far that goes depends on what the platform allows, and we confirm it before we quote.
Do you optimize for AI search?
Yes. We track whether your brand shows up in AI answers for your main searches and make your pages easier to quote, with clear answers, facts and structure.
What's the difference between cannabis SEO and dispensary SEO?
Cannabis SEO is for brands, online stores and B2B companies that sell beyond one neighborhood, so it carries more technical, content and link work. Dispensary SEO is local: your Google Business Profile, Maps rankings, reviews and store pages.

We’ll check your technical setup, your most important pages and who’s outranking you, then tell you what we’d change first and what it would cost.
