Google banned your ads. Shopify shut down your store. Your payment processor froze your money on a Friday night. We've lived it too — because we own a shop. PuffRank was built by operators, for operators.
We Don't Just Work For Shops.
We Are One.
Every other agency calling you has never owned a shop, never explained PACT Act compliance to a shipping carrier, and never watched their Stripe account get frozen with $12,000 sitting in it. We have. So when we say something works, it's because we tested it on our own money first.
- Google suspended your listing and foot traffic died overnight
- Google and Facebook won't run your ads — period
- Shopify or Square shut you down with no warning
- Your processor froze your weekend deposits
- The new shop across town is already outranking you
We deal with all of this ourselves. That's why we know exactly how to fix it for you.

"I built PuffRank because I got tired of marketing agencies that had no idea what a high-risk merchant account even was. Every strategy I offer, I've already tested on my own shop first."

WHAT WE DO
Three Ways We Grow Your Shop
No jargon. No 90-page reports no one reads. Just the three things that actually move money for smoke shops and vape stores.
01
More People Through The Door
Increase In-Store Sales
Google Maps #1 Ranking
"Smoke shop near me" — whoever shows up first wins. We get you there. If Google suspended you, we get you back.
Local SEO
Own the first page in your city. Your competitor is paying for ads that get rejected. Your name is already there for free.
Website For Local Stores
Hours, location, inventory. Fast. Clean. Works while you sleep.
02
Sell While You Sleep
Sell Online
E-Commerce Store Design
Not on Shopify. Not on platforms that delete your store at 2am. Built on infrastructure that actually allows your products.
E-Commerce SEO
People are searching "buy delta-8 online" right now. We put your store in front of them. Zero ad spend.
03
Run Your Shop Smarter
Shop Operations
High-Risk POS & Payment Systems
Square will cut you off. Stripe will cut you off. We set you up with processors built for this industry. Your money doesn't disappear on a Friday.
Customer Loyalty Programs
That customer who spent $80 and never came back? Automated texts & emails bring them in again. You do nothing.

The System Is Built To Shut You Out. We Know The Side Door.
You sell 100% legal products. But Stripe, Shopify, Google Ads, and Facebook treat you like a criminal. No warning. No appeal. Just frozen money and a dead store.
We don't sugarcoat it. You're high-risk to them. That's their problem — not yours. We've built our entire operation around businesses like yours. We know the workarounds. We use them every day.
