Why You Need Dispensary Google Ads (& How to Get Started)

They’re Relevant

Google only wants to show search results that are relevant to particular queries—and the same goes for their ads.

As part of the process of setting up Google Ads, you’ll need to bid on keywords. When someone searches for those keywords (and they match any other audience targeting metrics), then Google will serve up your ad.

If someone else has bid on the same keyword, Google will show up to three ads and they’ll show up in the order of which is most relevant, which has the highest bid, or a mix of the two (ultimately, only Google knows its own algorithm).
Because of its focus on relevancy, Google only serves up ads to those whom it thinks will benefit from them. That means that the people who will see your ad are already primed—they want to visit a dispensary or place an online order.

They’re at the Top

The top three search results get 75% of the clicks. So imagine being able to jump the line and score the very first position on a search result. That’s what Google Ads can do for you.

When you use Google Ads, you’re paying for that prime real estate. While SEO can help you improve your organic search results, Google Ads, which is pay-per-click advertising, provides an instant boost to your traffic thanks to its prominent positioning.

There’s Little Competition

Right now, not many dispensaries are using Google Ads to advertise. This means that it’s easier to score particular keywords and to consistently rank at the top.

Imagine showing up at the top of results—well about your competition. You can even show up at the top of map results. And because most other dispensaries aren’t taking advantage of this, you like won’t have to pay much per click.

Now, this will change when more dispensaries start using Google Ads, but for now, it’s one of the best ways to quickly impact your website traffic.

Getting Started with Dispensary Google Ads

One reason that you don’t see a lot of dispensary Google Ads (if any) is because there are certain words that Google flags. If you include one of those words in your keyword or ad copy, then your ad will be rejected. Google may even shut your account down.
