No Smoke.Just Strategy.
Above Board Media gets cannabis businesses found in AI search — the one channel nobody can take away from you, and the one your competitors haven’t claimed yet.
The Above Board Visibility Stack
Do search engines and AI even know your brand exists?
Cannabis can’t buy its way into visibility; most ad platforms won’t allow it. So the brands that win are structured to be found, not paid to be seen. Four layers, stacked like desert rock, built to hold weight together.
SEO
AEO
GEO
SXO
Search Engine Optimization
Structuring your site so organic search can crawl, understand, and rank it the channel that matters most when paid search isn’t on the table.
Answer Engine Optimization
Positioning content to be pulled as the direct answer in featured snippets and voice assistants – cited even when no click happens.
Generative Engine Optimization
Structuring content so AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity summarize and site your brand accurately.
Search Experience Optimization
Making sure that once someone lands on your site, they find what they need and trust what they see – trust is earned here, not assumed.
Search gets you found.
Answers get you cited.
Generative AI gets you summarized.
Experience gets you chosen.
The Above Board Visibility Stack makes all four work together – without a single paid impression.
