How long before I see results from SEO?

Expect early movement in six to eight weeks on technical fixes and Google Business Profile work, and meaningful organic revenue between months four and nine. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either targeting terms nobody searches or about to do something that gets you penalised.

Why was my Google Business Profile suspended?

Almost always one of four causes: an ineligible address, keywords in the business name, a category that triggers extra review, or a bulk edit that looked like manipulation. Google rarely tells you which. A virtual office is the most common — a rented mailing address you do not operate from is not eligible for a profile at all.

Can you run Google or Facebook ads for any business?

For most industries, yes. Some categories are restricted by the platforms themselves, and cannabis is the clearest example. For restricted clients we build on organic search, map pack visibility and owned channels, and say so on the first call.

Do you work with businesses outside India?

Yes. Roughly half our clients are in the US, UAE, UK and Australia. We are open about being based in Pune rather than pretending to be local, and overlap about six and a half hours with US Eastern.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Rolling monthly after an initial ninety-day period. Ninety days is the minimum honest window to judge whether the work is moving anything.

Dispensary SEO, for operators in legal US markets

One of the harder places to apply our SEO practice, and the reason we have proof that organic works when nothing else is available. If you run a licensed dispensary in a legal state, this page is for you. If you do not, our SEO service page is the better read.

What is actually available to you

This is the section most agencies will not write, because writing it honestly means admitting what they cannot sell you.

Closed: Google Ads and Meta both prohibit promotion of THC products. Meta’s carve-out covers only certified advertisers running non-ingestible CBD under 0.3% THC, US-targeted, with written authorisation. Coded language and product-free lifestyle imagery is precisely what platform enforcement now catches, and the penalty is a permanent account loss rather than a rejected ad.

Open: organic search, map pack position, endemic marketplaces like Weedmaps and Leafly, Reddit’s restricted vertical programme in legal states, endemic programmatic and CTV through cannabis-specific partners, owned SMS and email, and geofenced out-of-home.

That list is the strategy. Anyone offering to run your Facebook ads either has not done this before or is planning to spend your budget and your business manager.

Why organic matters more here than anywhere else

In a category where paid is banned, search is not one channel among several — it is close to the whole board. There is no ad policy gating who ranks, and a page you publish keeps earning for years.

The listing problem

Dispensaries draw extra review by default. Address type, category and business name all matter more in a regulated vertical, and a bulk edit that would pass unnoticed elsewhere can take you off the map here. We build listings to survive review rather than to squeeze out a short-term ranking.

What we have done

Two dispensary engagements, in Washington DC and Minnesota, both grown on organic search and map pack position alone. Both stories are published month by month, including the suspensions we had to fight and the month where nothing moved.
