Ratings: 4.2 against 4.7

The three leaders average 4.2 on Google; the other 8 listings on the board average 4.7. Here the rating is not what separates them, so the work is the profile and the pages behind it.

Review volume: a median of 132 against 94

The typical leader has a Google review count of 132; the typical listing behind it, 94. Volume is earned a shopper at a time, which is why the profile is worked every month, not claimed once.

Weed Tiger Inc (33.3%) and Cannabis In Virginia Weed Dispensary (19.0%) follow.

Who leads each search in Bedford County?

It depends on the search. “dispensary near me”: RISE Medical Marijuana Dispensary Lynchburg (100.0%); “cannabis near me”: RISE Medical Marijuana Dispensary Lynchburg (100.0%); “weed near me”: Weed Tiger Inc (100.0%). The same listing rarely leads all three, which is why a ranking plan covers a keyword set rather than one phrase.

Is my Bedford County store on these pages?

No store on our list sits in Bedford County so far, so none has a page here. This board is read from the grids of stores in neighbouring counties that reach in; a store added to our list here gets its own page once it is scanned.

What counts as a lead-gen listing?

We tag a listing lead-gen when its name is spelled with lookalike letters; when the same dispensary-style name sits on three or more listings at different addresses that carry next to no reviews; or when a dispensary-style listing that is not on our store list borrows another company’s brand, or has next to no reviews and a short link for its website or a tagged network’s name. Real chains are excepted, and a check by hand can add the tag to a listing or take it off. Tagged listings stay on every board in the position Google gives them, because shoppers see them there. In Bedford County, tagged listings hold 0% of every top-three slot across the three searches.

How is the share of the map in the top three measured?

We read Google Maps at 121 points around each store on our list, for each search, and place every reading in a map square about a quarter mile on a side. A store’s share is the part of an area’s measured squares where it shows in the top three, counting a square in part when it holds the spot in only some of the readings there. The combined board averages the three searches. Overlapping grids are counted once per square, so a busy downtown does not count twice. The full method: how we measure.

How often is this board updated?

Every scan round re-reads every store's grid, and every page here is rebuilt from the readings; the first round is dated October 24, 2026. This board's readings are dated October 28, 2026.
