Frequently Asked Questions

Can cannabis businesses advertise online?

Major platforms (Google, Meta, TikTok) prohibit cannabis advertising. Cannabis marketing relies on SEO, content marketing, email, SMS, programmatic display on cannabis-friendly networks, influencer partnerships, and community events. Some states also restrict billboard and print advertising.

How much should a cannabis business spend on marketing?

Budget 8-15% of revenue for marketing. Dispensaries typically spend $3,000-15,000/month. New launches need heavier upfront investment in branding ($10,000-50,000) and website development ($5,000-25,000). SEO is the highest-ROI channel long-term.

What should I look for in a cannabis marketing agency?

Cannabis-specific experience (not general agencies 'willing to try'), portfolio of compliant campaigns, understanding of state-by-state advertising restrictions, and proven results with SEO and owned media channels. Ask for case studies from operators in your state.
