Every new client starts on our lowest base fee. It only goes up as the results we deliver grow.
Our in-house designers and developers build websites for cigar shops, from the first sketch to launch day: a design made for your brand, fast clean code, and pages planned around what your customers search. It looks right, it loads fast, and it is ready to rank the day it goes live.
Local rankings, a humidor people can browse from home and a lounge that shows up on the map, aimed at the visitor in town for three days who wants one good cigar and somewhere to sit with it.
Because the usual paid channels are closed. Google Ads and Meta do not allow tobacco advertising, so customers find a cigar shop in organic search and on the map. For most shops and lounges, SEO is not one channel among many; it is the main one.
Legal cigar shops and tobacconists, cigar lounges, and online cigar and accessory retailers, in the markets where they are allowed to sell. If a business does not sell legally where it operates, we do not take it on.
Every market has its own rules, so we start from yours. Pages sit behind age verification that Google can still crawl, nothing is aimed at minors, and products are described for what they are, with no health claims. Careful wording protects the shop and the rankings at the same time.
Yes, within the rules that apply to you. Shipping tobacco is restricted differently by country and by state, so we build the online pages around what you are allowed to sell and where, and send everyone else to the shop and the lounge.
The map and the Google Business Profile usually move first, often within the first two months. Brand and product pages follow over three to six months. You see every step in Seoopia and in Search Console as it happens.
Access to your site, analytics, Search Console and Google Business Profile, your licences and the markets you sell in, your humidor stock, and details of the lounge and events. That is enough to start. The rest we set up with you.
