Overview

Managing Brand Linked products in Weedmaps Admin gives you complete visibility into which licensed dispensaries and delivery services carry your authentic inventory. Linking your master brand catalog to live retailer menus extends your platform reach, provides high-intent shoppers direct click-through paths to your official brand profile, and ensures your products are accurately represented across Weedmaps.


How Weedmaps Helps Link Your Catalog

To save brands and retailers manual setup time, Weedmaps utilizes machine learning and AI models combined with a dedicated curation team to identify your products across active retailer listings platform-wide.

  • Automated Product Matching: AI models continuously scan retailer menu uploads to match inventory items to your master brand catalog.
    ​

  • Verified Asset Syncing: Once identified, matches sync official photography, product descriptions, strain details, and potency specs directly onto the retailer's live listing.

Key Indicators & Actions

  • The "New" Tag: A New badge next to a retailer indicates that the item was linked to their menu within the past 30 days.
    ​

  • Unlinking Incorrect Items: If you identify an incorrect product match or an unauthorized listing, click Unlink next to the retailer to immediately disconnect your master catalog assets from their menu.

Key Benefits of Brand Linked Products

  • Priority Menu Sorting & Ranking
    Brand-linked items receive priority placement near the top of retailer menus and search rankings, while unlinked items are pushed lower on the menu.
    ​

    Linked items appear when shoppers filter a retailer's menu by brand and feature direct links back to your official Weedmaps Brand listing.
    ​

  • Accurate Data & Sales Tracking
    Establishing clean catalog links ensures precise sales reporting and performance analytics for both your brand and retail partners.

Best Practices for Brand Network Management

  • Audit Top SKUs Periodically
    Routinely check the Linked Retailers view for your flagship products to confirm accurate menu matching across key regional markets.
    ​

  • Review "New" Links Promptly
    Inspect newly linked retailers to verify that new wholesale shipments are mapped correctly and displaying current packaging visuals.
    ​

  • Maintain Master Catalog Quality
    Keep your catalog assets up to date in Weedmaps Admin so auto-matched links always showcase high-resolution artwork and accurate specs.
