Editorial Backlinks for
Cannabis and CBD Brands
From Publishers Who Accept Them.
Cannabis and CBD sit in one of the most heavily restricted advertising categories online. We work with wellness and lifestyle publishers who genuinely cover the space, not directories that exist purely to sell links to a niche mainstream sites will not touch.
Regulation Shrinks
the Publisher Pool
Before You Start.
Cannabis and CBD link building is shaped almost entirely by regulation. Most mainstream publishers exclude cannabis content from their editorial guidelines outright, and the ones who do accept it often vary significantly by jurisdiction and by whether the content covers CBD wellness products, THC products, or cultivation and industry news. Generic outreach fails quickly in this space because the vast majority of targets are simply off-limits before the conversation starts.
The publishers who remain are genuine cannabis and CBD wellness sites, lifestyle publications comfortable with the category, and industry press covering cultivation, retail, and policy. Compliance-aware content matters here too. Claims about CBD health benefits are scrutinised heavily by editors and by regulators, so outreach and content need to reflect accurate, defensible language rather than the exaggerated claims that get placements rejected or brands flagged. Vetting any provider working in this niche matters more here than almost anywhere else, since the temptation to fall back on low-quality directories is highest where the legitimate publisher pool is smallest.
Why Cannabis Link Building Is Different
Publisher restrictions are the strictest of any niche we serve. Compliance and claims language vary by jurisdiction and by publisher policy. The wellness and lifestyle publisher network willing to cover cannabis content is smaller than in mainstream niches. And outreach needs to be able to distinguish between CBD wellness angles and broader cannabis industry coverage since publishers often accept one but not the other.
How We Build Links
for Cannabis and CBD Brands.
Manual outreach only
Every publisher is contacted individually by a researcher who understands cannabis category restrictions, not a mass automated outreach tool.
Real wellness publishers
We work with cannabis, CBD, and wellness publishers who genuinely cover this space, not directories built purely to sell links.
Pre-approval on all placements
You review the exact publisher and page before anything goes live. If it does not meet your compliance standards, we source an alternative.

Questions About
Cannabis Link
Building.
We work with both, though publisher availability differs. CBD wellness content has a wider publisher pool than THC or cultivation-focused content. Tell us your product category during the brief and we will confirm availability before you commit to an order.
We work within each publisher's editorial standards for health-related claims, which are typically stricter than general wellness content. We do not place content making unverified medical claims, since this is the fastest way to get a placement rejected or removed.
Our standard minimum is DR 40, the same as our core link building service. Because the publisher pool in this niche is smaller than mainstream niches, delivery timelines can run slightly longer while we secure the right fit.
Yes. Cannabis regulation varies significantly by country and by state. Share your operating jurisdictions in the brief and we will factor them into publisher selection and content approach.
