Practice Sequence

Case Intake Roadmap

The roadmap prioritizes authority signals, service-line clarity, and the trust assets that reduce friction before contact.

CBD sites operate in a high-risk, high-reward niche. Link building must prioritize compliance, relevance, and authority to avoid penalties and maximize ROI. Focus on earning links from health, wellness, and cannabis-adjacent domains with strong E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness).

  3. Why .gov and .edu links are rare but valuable for CBD sites

Quick Trust Audit

Use Google’s "About this result" feature to audit potential link sources for trust signals. If Google flags a site as unreliable, exclude it from your outreach.
