The problem
Why most CBD brands fail with a generalist agency.
What is a CBD SEO agency? An SEO agency that works only with cannabinoid brands. It screens every page against FDA and state rules, builds links only on publishers that accept CBD, and plans for a market where paid ads aren't an option.
- 01
Tripping health-claim filters
One unauthorized "treats anxiety" phrase is enough for Google to throttle your entire domain. Most agencies don't know it's happening.
- 02
Toxic links from PBN networks
Cheap link sellers route every CBD client through the same spam sites. Google's reviewers know them by name.
- 03
No paid-ads fallback
Google and Meta restrict cannabinoid ads, so organic search has to carry the business. There's no margin for error.
Services
Six services, one compliance standard.
Every deliverable is screened against FDA, FTC and state cannabinoid rules before it ships.

What makes a good CBD SEO agency?
A good CBD SEO agency works only with cannabinoid brands, screens every page against FDA and state-level compliance rules, builds links only on CBD-safe publishers, and reports honestly on what's moving and what isn't. Generalist agencies that "also do CBD" trip YMYL filters because they treat cannabinoid SEO as just another vertical. It isn't.
How long until we see organic traffic move?
For brands with no major technical or compliance debt, ranking movement on long-tail terms shows up in weeks 6–10. Commercial head-term movement and revenue-grade traffic land in months 4–6. We don't promise results before then, because in cannabinoid SEO anyone who does is lying.
Which countries and states do you cover?
All 50 US states (with state-specific Delta-8 and THCA policy mapping) and the UK. We don't currently work with EU or Australian brands because of the regulatory complexity.
Will Google ever penalize work you ship?
No. Every page is screened against current YMYL guidance, every link sits on a manually vetted CBD-safe publisher, and every claim goes through our compliance checklist. If anything we ship is ever flagged, we fix it free under our compliance warranty.
Where do your editorial links come from?
A network of cannabis, lifestyle, wellness and adjacent publications we've built relationships with through years of outreach. No PBNs, no link farms. We share the placement domain with you before we publish.
What's your cancellation policy?
Month-to-month with 30 days' notice. We pause work, hand over every asset (briefs, drafts, placement contacts, audits) and walk away. No clawbacks, no exit fees, no awkward emails.
