The dispensary is noted for its knowledgeable staff but faces criticism for high prices and pushy sales tactics. (AI guess, from 154 reviews.)
It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. New Westminster cannabis dispensaries run 26 to 42. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Botany scores 26, below the New Westminster average of 36. The same method scores every business on the registry.
| Signal | Weight | Score | What it measures | Botany |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retrieval grounding | 26 | 0 | Whether you appear in the ranked results AI retrieves and cites: AI-Overview citations, organic top-10 for your money queries, and the Bing index ChatGPT leans on. | Poor |
| Off-property attestation | 20 | 41 | Volume and consistency of what others say about you: YouTube mentions, branded web mentions, third-party “best-of” lists. The cause of retrievability. | Poor |
| AI visibility | 14 | 0 | Whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews name you, and whether they name you for the right service. | Poor |
| Reviews & response | 12 | 75 | The star average is only one input. We also read volume, velocity, the specificity of review language, and response cadence. Specific reviews are what AI quotes verbatim. | Good |
| Backlink & citation authority | 8 | 51 | Domain authority and editorial quality of the sources that attest to you. | Fair |
| Google Business Profile | 8 | 90 | Required and recommended fields; update cadence. The listing AI pulls from first. | Good |
