Why this directory works

Small audience, high intent, Vermont-native.

We're not pretending to be Leafly or Weedmaps. We're a focused VT directory with editorial depth — the kind of site a Burlington local actually reads before driving 20 minutes to your shop. Here's the honest pitch.

🎯

100% VT-focused audience

Every page is about Vermont cannabis — dispensaries, strains, rules, deals, events. The visitors arriving here are already in-state (or coming to visit) and already shopping. No wasted impressions.

🔍

Hyperlocal SEO target

Goal for month 3: rank on page 1 for 20+ "Burlington VT dispensary" and "[city] cannabis" queries. We're new, so we won't pretend we're already there — but we've built the structured data and editorial base to get there.

✍️

Real editorial, not AI sludge

Weekly posts, a strain-match tool, a weather-to-strain recommender, a dispensary crawl — all written for Vermont, not reposted from Colorado. Sponsors fit into that context, not against it.

We will show you current traffic before you commit — it's small today, and we're honest about that.

Prices are firm through 2026. Payment via invoice (ACH or check) — no auto-billing yet. All placement is disclosed per FTC guidelines on our affiliate disclosure page .

Compliance

We keep your copy on the right side of the CCB.

Vermont's Cannabis Control Board regulates cannabis advertising under Administrative Rule 1.4.7. That rule prohibits, among other things: claims about medical effects or curative properties, imagery or language appealing to minors (cartoons, candy styling, etc.), price promotions that could incentivize underage use, and advertising in venues whose audience is greater than 30% under 21.

BurlingtonDispensaries.com isn't itself a CCB licensee, but your sponsor copy on our site is ad content for a regulated business. So: every piece of copy you supply — display ads, blog posts, featured-listing descriptions, newsletter mentions — goes through our editorial review before it goes live. If something isn't compliant, we tell you why and help you fix it. If you publish copy elsewhere that would violate 1.4.7 if cross-posted here, we won't cross-post it.

You retain responsibility for compliance with any licenses or regulations governing your own business. This page isn't legal advice. Full disclosure of paid placement lives on our affiliate disclosure page, per FTC guidelines.

Frequently asked questions

Read these before you fill out the form — saves us both time.

Do you guarantee traffic numbers?
No — the site is new and growing, and we'd rather undercommit than fake numbers. Our near-term goal is 2,000+ monthly VT-based visits by the end of month 3, driven by hyperlocal SEO, weekly editorial, and a growing newsletter. What we do guarantee: honest placement as described in your tier, a monthly report of the traffic and outbound clicks you actually received, and no-questions cancellation with 30 days' notice.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time, with 30 days' notice. If you paid annual and cancel early, we refund the unused months pro-rata (minus any setup costs). No clawbacks, no argument. The goal is that you stay because it's working, not because you're locked in.
Do you publish paid content as editorial?
No. Paid placement (homepage slots, pinned positions, tier badges) is clearly marked. Editorial coverage — blog posts, newsletter sections, strain recommendations — is written by our team on merit. A Gold sponsor gets priority consideration for at least one editorial post per quarter, but we retain full editorial control and will kill coverage we can't stand behind.
Does a paid listing change my placement in search results?
Paid listings get priority placement within their city filter (Silver) or in the homepage rotation and strain-match results (Gold+). Your listing is also tagged "Featured" so consumers can see it's a sponsored placement. Organic search (Google, Bing) is unaffected — we don't, and can't, change how Google ranks our pages.
Who sees the sponsor inquiry form submissions?
Only Ankit, the editor. Inquiries land in our private KV store (encrypted at rest on Cloudflare) and Telegram Ankit directly so he can reply within one business hour during VT daytime. We never sell lead data and we only email you about the conversation you started.
What about Vermont CCB advertising rules?
All sponsor copy you supply must comply with Vermont CCB's advertising rules under Admin Rule 1.4.7 — no medical-effect claims, no language or imagery appealing to minors, no price promotions that could be construed as inducements to underage use, and proper use of required warnings. We run every piece of copy through editorial review before it goes live. If something isn't compliant, we work with you to fix it before publishing.
