Houston, TX — Serving Shops Across The United States
We Didn’t Learn This Industry From A Textbook.
We Lived It.
PuffRank was built by people who owned and operated smoke shops and vape stores. We know the daily headaches of this business — not because a client told us, but because we dealt with them ourselves.
WHO WE ARE
We Were Shop Owners Before We Were A Marketing Agency.
We know what it feels like to open Google one morning and find your listing suspended with no explanation. We know what it’s like to compete with 10 other smoke shops within a 2-mile radius and watch a brand new shop outrank you in 3 months.
We’ve dealt with bad reviews from difficult customers that hurt our ranking overnight. We’ve had payment processors freeze our funds mid-weekend. We’ve been rejected by every major ad platform just for selling legal products.
That frustration is exactly why PuffRank exists.
We stopped looking for an agency that understood our industry and built one ourselves. Every strategy we offer has been tested on our own shops first. When we tell you something works — it’s because we already know it does.
OUR EDGE
We Know Your Exact Problems — Because We’ve Lived Every One.
Google Maps Suspensions
We’ve had our own listings suspended and fought to get them back. We know the process, the triggers, and the fastest path to reinstatement.
Competing In Saturated Markets
Hundreds of shops in the same city fighting for the same customers. We’ve been in that fight ourselves and we know how to win it without a paid ad budget.
Bad Reviews Hurting Your Ranking
One bad review from a difficult customer can drop your Maps position overnight. We know how to manage, respond to, and recover from review damage the right way.
Platform Bans & Processor Freezes
Google, Facebook, Shopify, Stripe — we’ve been shut down by all of them on our own businesses. We know the workarounds because we had to find them ourselves.
