OuterBox is a performance marketing agency based in Copley, Ohio, founded in 2004, with other offices in Houston and Rochester, Minnesota per Clutch. It describes an in-house team of more than 250 US-based specialists and holds Google Premier Partner status. Clutch lists SEO at 45% of its work, then pay per click, conversion optimisation, web design and email.
For cannabis, the agency publishes a dispensary SEO page aimed at single stores and multi-location retailers. The programme covers keyword research, local SEO, technical audits, on-page work, content, link building and digital PR, conversion testing and reporting. It stresses claim-safe copy, with attention to menus, age gates and location pages, and mentions menu platforms such as Dutchie, Jane and Leafly. Monthly strategy reviews and reporting through GA4, Search Console and Google Business Profile data are part of the pitch. No prices are listed and proposals are custom.
The dispensary page names no dispensary clients, so evidence comes from Clutch. Its profile shows a 5.0 average from 93 reviews, and one review from the CEO of Carolina Dream, a legal cannabis business, reports a tripled conversion rate and a return customer rate up more than 20% from a conversion and email project. Reviewers praise timeliness and communication. Criticisms include staff turnover that needed re-briefing, lagging replies of a few hours, and landing page design that could be stronger.
OuterBox fits dispensary groups and cannabis ecommerce brands that want a large SEO and CRO team with formal reporting and can work from a custom quote. A small operator wanting a cannabis-only specialist may find it generic, so ask for dispensary case studies and which team members would handle your menu and compliance questions.
