Pricing

Fixed monthly pricing. No "request a quote" theatre.

Three retainers, USD only, monthly invoicing, six-month minimum. Vertical multipliers below adjust the base rate for cannabis dispensary, vape/snus and headshop work. Annual prepay knocks 10% off.

Foundation

CBD SEO Foundation

Get a CBD or hemp DTC site indexed, structured and citable.

$1,500 / month

Min. term 6 months

Best for: Early-stage CBD or hemp brands under $50k/month revenue, or new product lines launched by an existing brand. The site exists, the products are listed, but Google barely sees it and ChatGPT has never heard of it.

Technical baseline — robots.txt, llms.txt, schema (Organization, Product, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList), Core Web Vitals
On-page rewrite of homepage + 4 priority pages (X-is-Y intro, Quick Facts, H2 questions, FAQ)
4 blog posts per month (1,500–2,000 words each), AEO-structured, compliance-aware
15 tracked keywords (GSC + brand mention monitoring)
Compliance audit — Google Ads policy, Meta CBD policy, FDA disclaimer, state restrictions
Monthly 60-min strategy call + Loom-recorded weekly summary

CBD SEO Growth

Move from indexed to ranking — for CBD brands doing $50–300k/mo.

$3,500 / month

Min. term 6 months

Best for: CBD or hemp DTC brands at $50–300k/month or dispensary chains expanding into new states. There is content, traffic, an in-house marketer — what is missing is structural AEO discipline and link velocity.

Everything in Foundation, scaled — 30 tracked keywords, 5 monitored AI platforms
8 AEO-structured blog posts per month
Link-building inside CBD/hemp authority graph — HARO, expert quotes, podcast outreach, regulated-industry trade press
Programmatic location pages (state-by-state) for dispensary or local-CBD clients
Schema engineering — Service, Person (named expert), Review, AggregateRating, LocalBusiness
Bi-weekly 45-min working calls + Slack channel access

Scale

CBD SEO Scale

Multi-state dispensary, multi-vertical CBD network, programmatic SEO.

$7,500 / month

Best for: Established CBD brands above $300k/month, multi-state dispensary chains, multi-domain CBD networks, or DTC brands rolling out new product categories (CBG, CBN, hemp-derived THC). Citation share-of-voice and category authority both matter.

Everything in Growth, scaled — 60 tracked keywords, 7 monitored AI platforms
16 AEO articles per month or programmatic page sets (1,000+ pages possible)
Multi-vertical strategy across CBD, cannabis, hemp, vape, snus where applicable

Vertical multipliers — why pricing flexes

The numbers above are CBD/hemp DTC base rates — that's our lead vertical. Cannabis dispensaries run hotter (state-by-state compliance), vape and snus run mid-range (FDA PMTA + age-gate), headshop runs cooler (no ingestible products, lower compliance burden). Three named verticals below; the multiplier applies to whichever tier you pick.

CBD / Hemp DTC 1.0×

Lead vertical. Federally legal hemp-derived CBD (≤0.3% THC) under the 2018 Farm Bill. Google Ads broadly disallowed, Meta age-gated, Pinterest restricted, payment-processor friction. Long-tail blog and AEO citations carry most of the pipeline.

Tier	Base	CBD / Hemp DTC
Foundation	$1,500	$1,500
Growth	$3,500	$3,500
Scale	$7,500	$7,500

Cannabis Dispensary 1.2–1.4×

State-by-state legality, no Google Ads, no Meta paid, local-pack and Weedmaps/Leafly the dominant discovery surfaces. Programmatic location pages and review velocity drive results. Higher multiplier reflects compliance copy and citation-source vetting.

Tier	Base	Cannabis Dispensary
Foundation	$1,500	$1,950
Growth	$3,500	$4,550
Scale	$7,500	$9,750

Vape / Snus / Nicotine 1.0–1.3×

No Google Ads in most regions, age-gate enforcement, 21+ checkout, FDA PMTA constraints (US vape). Snus/pouches more permissive in EU and CH. Long content with regulatory citations + on-page age verification builds trust and indexability.

Tier	Base	Vape / Snus / Nicotine
Foundation	$1,500	$1,725
Growth	$3,500	$4,025
Scale	$7,500	$8,625

Headshop / Cannabis Accessories 0.7–1.0×

Selling accessories (bongs, grinders, papers, vaporizers) is generally permitted but Google Ads selective. SEO-leaning channel mix, lower compliance overhead than CBD-ingestible products, fast cycle to results.

Tier	Base	Headshop / Cannabis Accessories
Foundation	$1,500	$1,275
Growth	$3,500	$2,975
Scale	$7,500	$6,375

Discounts and what's not on the table

10% off for 6-month prepay — applies to all three tiers.
Discovery week is included in every retainer; we won't bill it separately.
No equity, no revenue share. We charge fees only. We don't own a slice of your funnel.
No hourly retainers. Every engagement is fixed-fee with written scope.
No guaranteed citation count. AI is probabilistic; we publish expected ranges, not promises.
No paid Google/Meta/TikTok management for cannabis or CBD. Channel is structurally banned; we don't run gray-hat workarounds.
Kill-switch for FDA/Google policy shocks. If platform policy shifts mid-engagement, scope adjusts; we don't refund.

Not sure which tier fits?

A 30-minute discovery call is the fastest way to find out — and we'll tell you when none of the above is the answer.
