What does the Luxury Leaf case study show?
Luxury Leaf, a dispensary in The Grove, St. Louis, is a Bud Authority client and the subject of a Dutchie customer story. Per that story, the store has seen a 73% repeat visit rate since it launched Loyalty & Marketing Pro in December 2025. It says that, working directly within E-Commerce Pro, we built out Luxury Leaf's organic search presence.
The full customer story explains how we came in: with their site built out to convert, Luxury Leaf brought in Bud Authority, which the story calls a cannabis-specific SEO agency and Dutchie Certified Partner. It quotes the brief directly: "I needed an SEO company that's specifically for cannabis, that understands our industry and understands what works."
Our announcement of the feature is in our press release on Luxury Leaf's Dutchie feature, and our approach to search for stores on that platform is on our Dutchie SEO page.
What search results did Dutchie's story publish?
Per the story, we reported three search gains, each with its own window: a 35% improvement in impressions quarter-over-quarter, non-branded clicks up 30% since launch, and a 17% increase in direct requests year-over-year for the Luxury Leaf site.
The same source reports that 91% of Luxury Leaf's top ranking search terms are now category searches, with "dispensary near me" and "weed dispensary" as its examples.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bud Authority a Dutchie Certified Partner?
Yes. Our site footer links to Dutchie's certified partner program page, and the Luxury Leaf story describes us the same way. We also built and run Apex MenuEdge, our edge platform for Dutchie-powered menus, which serves crawlers a server-rendered page while shoppers keep the same live menu and checkout.
How are the figures measured?
The figures come from Google Search Console and GA4 data, rank tracking, geo-grids and AI-visibility passes for the client site. The Luxury Leaf clicks, impressions, delivery keyword scans and AI answer counts above all came from those sources.
