Who is FOLCBD.com?

FOLCBD.COM is a family-driven enterprise led by a passionate couple and their dedicated team in an increasingly competitive CBD industry. With over 7 years in business, they’re focused on improving lives with top-quality hemp products through in-store and online sales.

The Challenge:

Back in November 2022, FOLCBD.com reached out to us as they noticed their passion and hard work weren’t matching up with their visibility as a brand online. Being in an extremely competitive online landscape, they knew they needed to do something to stay relevant. They had a clear mission in mind: they wanted to boost their online presence, get more people visiting their site naturally, and improve how often they pop up when users search for specific things.

They were after an all-inclusive plan that not only made them more noticeable online but also solidified their brand’s digital reputation.

Top Tip: Look out for non-canonical links on category pages

Let’s chat about a common e-commerce hiccup, even among the big players like Shopify that we experienced with FOLCBD.com: non-canonical links.

Don’t be fooled by the fancy term – it’s essentially a sneaky issue that can impact your site’s ranking possibilities.

Here’s the scoop: Shopify tends to use these non-canonical links by default for your site’s structure. But the catch is that they can give Google mixed messages. On one hand, you’re saying, “Check out these important pages, Google!” But on the down-low, you’re kind of hinting, “Actually, focus on these other pages, pretty please.”

So, what’s the bottom line? Keep an eye out for these links. They might be quietly tweaking your SEO efforts. This little glitch can throw off your site’s search engine efforts, but thankfully for FOLCBD.com we were able to pick up on this and fix it quickly to boost their online visibility.
