SEO for Legally Sensitive Niches
Cannabis and CBD (in legal jurisdictions), legal firearms, tactical and military gear, airsoft. Niches with regional legal differences. In these niches the main challenge isn't SEO — it's legal navigation: the same product is legal in one state and banned in another. Flexible geo-targeted system with corporate compliance is required.
