Local SEO Growth Proposal

Google search and AI decide who gets found.

La Mesa reached out to us directly, so that's where we start. Your customers search “dispensary near me” hundreds of times a day across five markets, and we pulled live Google Maps data for every branded Dr. Greenthumb's location to show where you rank today. La Mesa is also the one store that already cracked a search gap costing the other four locations customers every day, the strongest proof point in the whole chain.

Share of Local Voice (SoLV)

The percentage of a 5-mile radius around your store where you rank in the top 3. Higher means more of the map sees you first.

Average ranking position (ARP)

Automated Google reviews

SMS review requests fire automatically off your POS after every purchase, turning routine transactions into a steady stream of fresh Google reviews and a rating that keeps climbing.

Local Link Building

Links to your Google Business Profile

Local citations and backlinks built directly to your Google Business Profile, the authority signal Google weighs most heavily when deciding who ranks in the local 3-pack.

Content & On-Page SEO

Location, product, and delivery page content

On-page content across your product categories, brands, and strains, plus SEO-written copy for your location pages, dispensary-near-me pages, and delivery pages.

Next Steps

Start with a pilot, then scale chain-wide

Rather than launching all five locations at once, we recommend piloting with one to three locations first and expanding from there once the results are in.

Start now

La Mesa

The location that reached out to us directly, and the one store already proving the fix works. Leads the pilot.

Next priority

Chicago, Canoga Park & Fresno

The three locations that need the work most after La Mesa. Bring them in right behind the pilot, or alongside it if budget allows.

Optional

Orcutt

Already ranking #1 for nearly every term in its own market. Add it whenever it's convenient, it does not need the work the other four do.
