Does a Cannabis Dispensary need SEO?

August 1, 2018Is your current dispensary CRM losing you money?
How does your dispensary make money? A dispensary is like any other retail business, money comes in when a customer buys a product and money goes out when you cover all the fees associated with a business. The big difference between a dispensary and any other retail business?
Because marijuana is still federally illegal, dispensaries in the states where it is legal can’t benefit from the tax breaks other companies can. You can thank Ronald Reagan and Tax Code 280E for the marijuana industry’s current predicament. Tax Code 280E makes it illegal for a company to write off major expense like marketing, bookkeeping, store clerk wages, and security costs if they sell illegal substances.
Current laws mean a reliable marketing ROI is even more important in the cannabis industry. That’s where Baker CRM and SEO shine. Baker integrates with dozens of leading cannabis platforms to save you time while reducing maintenance and labor costs for the point of sale, advertising, and review platforms you already use.
SEO and Baker: Your one-two punch to increase store profits.
Not only does search engine optimization increase in-store sales for a dispensary, it increases online sales as well. Because Baker CRM is a complete online ordering and menu system, it is heavily impacted by SEO. The better the site optimization, the more customers enter into the Baker CRM sales funnel.
The owner of Cannabliss & Co. reported a massive increase in sales across all five of their locations a year after Sherpa completed their initial SEO. It may seem unbelievable, but this increase is supported by Google Analytics and Baker data.
