Us against the field, honestly.
Comparison pages are usually where agencies stop being trustworthy. These follow three rules: we say what the other firm does well first, every claim about their site carries the date we checked it, and if they change or we got something wrong, we correct it. Email [email protected] and we will re-verify.
The claims come from each company's own public site, sitemap and published files, archived when checked. We apply the same axes to ourselves in every table, and we never use rating schema on these pages.
How to choose a cannabis SEO agency
Seven questions to ask any agency in this category, built on Google's own hiring guidance, including the part that argues against hiring one.
Cannabis SEONearfront vs Bud Authority
The biggest publisher in the category against the most verifiable one. Their 136 geo pages are real, and so is the sourcing difference.
Dispensary SEONearfront vs Deeproots
They originated the satellite-page pattern and we credit it. We measured two of their pages with our own duplicate-content tool.
Cannabis SEONearfront vs Range Marketing
They productized AEO before almost anyone. Their homepage names six metros; their sitemap contains pages for three.
Brand vs searchNearfront vs Cannabis Creative Group
The least head-to-head page in the series, and it says so: a full-service brand agency against a search specialist.
Common questions
How do you compare agencies?
Only against what the other agency publishes: its own sitemap, its own pages, its own robots and llms files. Every claim carries the date we checked it. We do not characterize anyone's client work, because that is not visible from outside and we would be guessing.
How often are the comparisons re-checked?
Quarterly. The date on each claim is the claim. A competitor can change their site the day after we look, which is exactly why each page states when we looked instead of asserting a permanent fact.
Why is there no star rating on these pages?
Because that markup would be self-serving. Google scopes aggregateRating to sites that collect reviews about other businesses, which describes directories and review platforms rather than an agency rating its own rivals.
What if something you wrote about my agency is wrong?
Write to [email protected] and we will re-verify it against your live site. If we got it wrong, the page is corrected and the correction is dated. We do not quietly edit and move on.
Why these four agencies?
Because each one publishes enough on its own site for a comparison to be checked by a reader. Four is not the whole field, and the page is not a ranking.
