There are some unique factors which enter into preparing search engine optimization for CBD websites and dispensaries. Because of the nature of the main products, careful attention must be paid to the legalities of the wording as well as of the offerings themselves. While the dispensaries may understand some of the limitations, it is up to the digital marketing firm to display the cannabis products in a way that demonstrates compliance with the laws and statutes while still getting the improved and sustained visibility on organic Google search and social media including Youtube.

A descriptive explanation of the features of the products is important, whether the purchase is done through cannabis e-commerce within a CBD online store or at one of the licensed marijuana dispensaries. Some of the factors which are important to buyers are the form of the product. MMJ (Medical Marijuana) might be sold as a flower, vape juice or as a pre-rolled joint. CBD oil is another popular form which can be found in the dispensaries and online stores. More ways in which the product may be sold include cookies, MMJ gummies, beverages in various flavors and medicated oils and butters. The form of MMJ and CBD oil which is purchased will depend upon the intended usage and legalities from state to state within the United States of America.

Customers want to find information about the cultivation of the plants which form the basis of products sold in the dispensaries. Discussion of applicable cultivation methods will include facts about how the organic  medical marijuana is environmentally friendly in the way it is grown. The information on a website will also refer to the level of THC and CBD in the plant inventory. Customers would also be interested in the purity of products. No one wants to be using MMJ or CBD which has been treated with fungicides and/or pesticides. Because the marijuana plants are to be used as medicinal products, purity is absolutely critical.
