Exponential Growth With SEO Optimized Cannabis Ecommerce Menus

In this case study, we wanted to understand exactly how many dollars are being driven through organic search and Tymber's native ecommerce platform. Specifically we were interested in three of the most valuable assets an ecommerce store should have: category, product and brand ecommerce pages. We analyzed Google Analytics data for 30 Tymber retail partners across three different states (California, Oregon and Massachusetts) to determine how each asset performs when a site is launched with Tymber ecommerce. We found that these three assets contributed an additional 5% of revenue by appearing in organic search. iFrame ecommerce menus simply cannot do this.
