Cannabis
Adults and patients now ask AI platforms which dispensaries, cannabis brands, and CBD products to try, within advertising rules that limit paid channels. Our independent analysts studied the agencies that have had the most success at cannabis GEO and AEO, presented below.
What to look for
| Buying criteria | Ask how the agency gets a dispensary or brand recommended within state rules and platform policies, and how it tracks orders and store visits. |
|---|---|
| Proof that matters | Ask for cannabis or CBD clients and a dated result in orders, store visits, or AI citations. |
| Common mismatch | A firm that relies on paid ads cannabis brands cannot run, or one with no state compliance knowledge. |
| Typical engagement | Expect a retainer that covers menu and product pages, local listings, and reviews, with compliance review. |

How We Ranked These Agencies
- We started with the 7 GEO agencies in our directory that have a serious cannabis practice.
- To qualify, a firm had to sell GEO and show cannabis on its own site: a cannabis service page, work for a cannabis client, or cannabis listed among the industries it serves.
- Each firm received a fit score out of 100. Cannabis depth is worth 20 points, cannabis proof 20, GEO depth 25, and three GEO and AEO editorial scores from our agency reviews 35: lead generation (14), local and multi-location (12), and measurement (9).
- Cannabis proof ranks cannabis case studies that name the client first, then cannabis case studies without client names, then cannabis clients shown by logo, name, or testimonial, then a cannabis service page alone.
- The seven highest fit scores are listed. Ties went to the firm with the higher average across all eight editorial scores.
