GEO Best Practices for Product Pages

  • Example: "Alien Labs Biskante is an indica-dominant hybrid strain with 25% THC content and prominent myrcene terpenes."

Create Question-Answer Pairs

  • Format content to directly answer common questions

  • Example:

    • Q: "What are the effects of Biskante strain?"

    • A: "Biskante provides relaxing, euphoric effects ideal for evening use, stress relief, and sleep support."

Include Comprehensive Product Specifications

  • THC/CBD percentages

  • Terpene profiles

  • Cultivation methods

  • Lab test results

  • Consumption recommendations

Optimize for AI Citations

Provide Authoritative Information

  • Reference lab results, cultivation details, and producer information

Comprehensive but Concise

  • Each paragraph should address one main point

  • Include relevant context without unnecessary fluff
