About CannabizSEO

13 years in SEO. A lifelong relationship with cannabis. A personal story that made this industry impossible to ignore. This isn't a company built to chase a trend. It was built because someone had to do this right.

The Real Story

Cannabis Didn't Just
Change My Business.
It Changed My Life.

I've been using cannabis on and off my entire adult life. Not recreationally in the way people assume — functionally. It helped me manage my ADHD when nothing else clicked. It kept the noise down. It let me think straight. For years I kept it quiet because the stigma wasn't worth the conversation.

What I didn't expect was what it would show me about myself. When I leaned into cannabis intentionally — really paid attention to how it affected me — it forced me to look at everything else. The drinking. The patterns. The ways I was numbing out instead of dealing with things. Cannabis didn't fix those things. But it made me stop running from them. I got off alcohol. I got my head straight. I started building things that actually mattered to me.

That's a story I don't tell lightly. I'm telling it here because it's the honest answer to why this company exists. This isn't a pivot play. This isn't a trend I'm chasing. This industry changed something real for me and I'm not going to half-ass the work I do for it.

13 Years in SEO

I've been doing this since before "content marketing" was a buzzword. I've watched every algorithm update, every agency trend, every shortcut that burned clients and every legitimate strategy that actually moved rankings. I know what works because I've seen what doesn't — at scale, across hundreds of businesses.

Why Cannabis Specifically

Every other industry I've worked in has options. They can run ads. They can buy their way to visibility. Cannabis dispensaries can't do any of that. They're fighting for customers with one hand tied behind their back and most of the agencies taking their money have no idea what that actually means. I do. And that gap made building this inevitable.

"I'm not here to take your money for 12 months and hand you a PDF. I'm here because this industry deserves someone who actually gives a damn about it winning."

How We Operate

Small Team. Zero Fluff.
All Results.

We're not a 200-person agency with account managers who've never run a GBP in their lives. We're a focused operation built around one thing — getting cannabis dispensaries into the top 3.

01
🧠

I Set the Strategy

Every dispensary we work with gets a strategy built by me personally — not handed to a junior coordinator to execute blind. I analyze your market, map your competitors, identify the gaps, and build the roadmap. You get my brain on your business.

02
⚙️

The Team Executes

A tight team of trained VAs handles execution — posting, citation building, photo uploads, review responses, Q&A seeding. Every task runs against a checklist I built. Nothing goes live without meeting the standard I set.

03
📊

Performance Is Everything

I watch rankings. I watch call volume. I watch direction requests. If something isn't moving I want to know why before you do. You don't pay us to manage a process. You pay us for results. That distinction changes how we work.

A Direct Word
To Every Dispensary Owner Reading This

You already know you're in a rigged game. You figured that out the first time you tried to run a Google ad and got shut down. Or when your Facebook account got flagged. Or when you watched a competitor who's half as good as you show up first in Google Maps month after month.

I built CannabizSEO because I got tired of watching this industry get taken advantage of. Good people running good dispensaries, paying agencies that don't understand them, getting nothing back. It's not complicated why it happens — cannabis is hard, compliance is real, and most agencies are just guessing. They're applying playbooks designed for industries that can buy their way out of problems you don't have the option to buy your way out of.

What I do isn't magic. It's precision. It's knowing Google Maps inside out, knowing your specific market, and executing the right signals in the right order until your dispensary is where it should be — in front of the people who are already searching for you.

If you're ready to stop watching competitors win and start being the one they're chasing, I'd like to talk. Not to pitch you. To show you exactly what's holding your rankings back and exactly what it takes to fix it.

Questions About Us

What People Ask
Before They Work With Us.

Who actually does the work on my account?

Strategy is set by the founder — someone with 13 years in SEO who built this company specifically for cannabis. Execution is handled by a trained VA team working against precise checklists. Nothing goes live without meeting the standard. You're not getting handed to a junior coordinator who has never ranked a local business in their life.

Are you actually a cannabis user or is that just marketing?

Lifelong. Cannabis has been part of my life since my early adult years — it helped manage my ADHD and ultimately played a role in getting me off alcohol. That's not copy. That's why this company exists. I have a personal stake in this industry succeeding and that shows up in the work.

What is VibemetrixAI and how does it relate to CannabizSEO?

VibemetrixAI is the parent company — a digital marketing operation that helps local businesses dominate their markets. CannabizSEO is the exclusive cannabis vertical. It's not a white-label product or a side hustle. It's a purpose-built arm of a proven marketing company focused entirely on the cannabis industry.

How is this different from the last SEO agency I tried?

The agency that failed you was probably applying a generic local SEO playbook to an industry it didn't understand. Cannabis has a completely different advertising landscape — no PPC, no social ads, compliance restrictions that affect how you can even describe your products online. Our entire system was built around those constraints, not retrofitted for them. See our services →

Do you work with dispensaries in my state?

We serve all 38 legal cannabis states — both recreational and medical markets. See the full list on our Areas We Serve page. If you're in a state that recently legalized or is coming online soon, reach out — we want to talk to you before your competitors do.

How do I know you'll actually deliver results?

No contracts. No setup fees. Month-to-month only. If we're not delivering, you cancel. We don't need a 12-month contract to protect ourselves because we're not guessing. We know what moves the needle in your market and we execute it. The Quick Wins Accelerator shows you real movement in the first week so you know immediately you made the right call. See full details →

Can I talk to someone before signing up?

Yes. We offer strategy calls where we look at your specific market, your current rankings, and what it would take to move you to the top 3. No sales pitch — just an honest conversation about where you are and what's possible. Book a call here →

What does success actually look like working with you?

Within 30–90 days you see your dispensary moving up in the map pack. More profile views. More direction requests. More calls from people who found you on Google Maps and are already on their way in. Long term, you become the dispensary that everyone else in your city is chasing. The one that owns the market. That's the goal and that's what we build toward from day one.
