Smoke Advertising

Smoke Advertising is an AI-powered customer acquisition platform built for the cannabis industry — dispensaries, cannabis brands, smoke shops and vape shops. The category is locked out of most conventional paid advertising, so the work is deliberately different: instead of renting attention from platforms that can revoke it, Smoke Advertising builds audiences and distribution its clients own outright.

The platform combines visitor identification, geo-targeting and geofencing, SMS marketing, email deliverability, compliant paid social, Google Ads and local search, and SEO built for AI answer engines. Each channel is wired back to revenue rather than impressions, so operators can see which message produced which visit and which purchase. Compliance runs through the same workflow — age assurance, claim discipline, consent records and carrier registration are part of the build, not an afterthought.

Distribution is the other half of the model. Smoke Advertising operates an owned media network, including the cannabis directory WeedDispos.com, which gives brands and retailers placement, citations and content distribution that does not depend on an ad platform's approval. That network is how a licensed operator becomes the business an AI assistant names and the listing a local searcher finds, in a category where buying the top of the page is not an option.

Engagements are built around infrastructure first: identify the visitor, capture consent, message through channels the client controls, and measure attributed revenue. The outcome is a first-party audience, consistent visibility across local and AI search, and a customer acquisition cost that falls as the owned system compounds.
