Websites for Smoke Shops & Vape Shops
Get found when people search “smoke shop near me.”
Inked Revolution Marketing Company builds mobile-friendly, information-only websites for licensed smoke shops, vape shops, head shops, CBD/hemp stores, and cigar shops across New York. Your hours, location, directions, and the brands you carry — set up for Google so nearby customers find you and walk in the door.
Show Up On Google
Why A Website Matters
Most customers find a smoke or vape shop the same way: they pull out a phone and search. If your shop doesn’t have a website, you’re easier to miss.
- Show up for searches like “smoke shop near me” and “vape shop in [your town]”
- Make your Google Business Profile work harder — a linked website gives Google more to go on
- Store hours, address, map & one-tap directions
- Show the brands and product categories you carry
- Mobile-friendly — most “near me” searches happen on phones
- Local SEO set up from day one
Own Your Marketing
Social platforms and ad networks often restrict or ban ads for tobacco and vape products, and accounts can be limited without warning. That makes a website you own — plus organic search — even more important for your shop.
Customers check you out online before they visit. A clean, professional site shows you’re a real, licensed shop — not a pop-up — and gives them every reason to stop in.
Is It Legal?
Yes — an informational website is a normal, legal way to market a licensed smoke shop. Think of it as your storefront sign and business card online: it tells people who you are, what you carry, and how to visit.
What your site includes
- Store info, hours & location
- Map and directions
- Brands & product categories you carry
- Contact info and a “visit us in store” message
- New arrivals, events & announcements
What it is NOT
- Not an online store
- No online checkout or payments for products
- No shipping of tobacco or vape products
- No delivery orders
Why information-only?
Online and remote sales of tobacco and vapor products are heavily regulated. The federal PACT Act puts strict rules on remote sales and bars mailing cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and vapes through the U.S. Postal Service, and New York law prohibits shipping cigarettes and nicotine vapor products to consumers. Instead of trying to sell online, we build your site to bring customers into your store, where you already check ID.
How we build responsibly
- 21+ age-verification popup before anyone enters the site
- No health claims — nothing saying a product is “safe,” “safer,” or helps you quit
- No marketing aimed at minors — no cartoons, candy-style imagery, or youth appeal
- Built to follow New York and FDA rules on tobacco and vape advertising, including required warnings where they apply
- You review and approve all product wording before launch
Disclaimer: This is general information, not legal advice. Check with your attorney or local regulators about your specific situation. Rules differ by product type and location and can change — CBD/hemp and cannabis products have their own separate rules.

FAQs
Is it legal to have a website for my smoke shop?
Generally, yes. An informational website for a licensed shop — your hours, location, directions, the brands and product categories you carry, and a “visit us in store” message — is a normal way to market a business that is allowed to operate. Rules on tobacco and vape advertising still apply, so we build every site with a 21+ age check, no health claims, and nothing aimed at minors. This is general information, not legal advice. Check with your attorney or local regulators about your specific situation.
Can I sell products online through the website?
Not through the sites we build. Online and remote sales of tobacco and vapor products are heavily regulated: the federal PACT Act covers remote sales, and New York law prohibits shipping cigarettes and nicotine vapor products to consumers. That’s why our smoke shop sites are information-only — no online checkout, no shipping, and no delivery. Customers find you online and buy in store.
Will a website help me show up on Google?
Yes, it helps. A website gives Google more information about your shop, makes your Google Business Profile stronger, and gives you pages that can show up for local searches like “smoke shop near me” or “vape shop in [your town].” SEO is included with every website — we set up local SEO from day one and keep it maintained every year you renew hosting ($100/year). No one can guarantee a specific ranking, but a fast, mobile-friendly site gives you a much better shot than no site at all.
How much does a smoke shop website cost?
The website build is $1,500 one-time — or $750 with the Friends & Family code friendsandfamily, which applies to the website build only. After that, hosting is $100 per year with SEO included: we keep your site hosted, secure, and updated, and maintain your SEO every year for as long as you renew.
Why can’t I just use Facebook or Instagram?
You should use them, but don’t rely on them alone. Social platforms and ad networks often restrict or ban ads for tobacco and vape products, and accounts can be limited without warning. A website is something you own, and organic Google search doesn’t depend on buying ads.
Do you build sites for CBD, hemp, and cigar shops too?
Yes — head shops, CBD/hemp stores, cigar shops, and tobacco shops. Hemp and cannabis rules are separate and change often, so we keep product listings to what your license allows and you approve all wording before launch.
Do you work with shops outside Syracuse?
Yes. We’re based in Central New York and build websites for businesses in all 62 New York counties. Everything can be done by email and online.
