# How to Get World-Class Help in The High Ground 🚀
Welcome, operator! You’re in a community packed with some of the smartest minds in the cannabis industry. Asking for help is not just encouraged—it’s how we all get better, faster.
To get the most brilliant answers from your fellow pioneers, you need to ask brilliant questions. This guide will show you how to craft the perfect question that gets you the help you need, fast. Let’s do this!
👉 Step 1: First, Be a Detective! 🕵️
Before you post, do a quick search! Use the search bar at the top of the community to see if someone has already blazed this trail. Your question might have been answered in a previous discussion or in one of the courses in the Classroom. Finding an instant answer is a huge win!
✍️ Step 2: Craft the Perfect Question (The 5-Part Formula)
If you’re still stuck, it’s time to post. Use this proven formula to get the best results.
1. The “Can’t-Miss” Title 🎯
A specific, juicy title grabs the attention of the right experts.
• Good: “My dispensary isn’t showing up in Google Maps. What are the first steps to fix this?”
• Bad: “SEO help”
2. The Full Story (Context is King) 👑
Don’t make us guess! The more details you provide, the better the advice you’ll get.
• The Goal: What are you trying to accomplish? (e.g., “I want to increase online orders by 20% this quarter.”)
• The Journey So Far: What have you already tried? (e.g., “I’ve updated my Google Business Profile, added 10 new photos, and got 5 new reviews, but I’m still not ranking.”)
• The Roadblock: What is the exact problem? (e.g., “When I search ‘dispensary near me,’ my competitor shows up first, even though I am geographically closer.”)
3. Show, Don’t Just Tell (Screenshots & Videos!) 📸
This is the ultimate hack for getting great help. A picture or a short screen recording is worth a thousand words. Use a free tool like Loom or just your computer’s built-in screenshot tool. This is the #1 thing you can do to get better answers.
4. Tag It! (Use the Right Category) #️⃣
When you create your post, tag it with the right category from our 8 Pillars (e.g., `#HyperLocal SEO`, `#Compliant Marketing`). This acts like a bat-signal, alerting the experts in that specific area.
5. Pay it Forward (Be Patient & Say Thanks) 🙌
Everyone here is a busy operator. Give your fellow members some time to chime in. When you get that golden nugget of advice that solves your problem, circle back and say “thanks!” Better yet, share what worked. This closes the loop and helps the next person who has the same problem.
By following this formula, you’re not just asking a question—you’re contributing to the collective intelligence of The High Ground!!
