What is Brand Linking?
People are constantly researching products from various brands on Leafly throughout the day. By connecting brands in our database to menu items, locations can attract more traffic and orders from users looking for products. Locations with brand linking can be found through the search feature on Leafly or by visiting the brand page.
Brand linking can be achieved either manually or through your current POS integration. Some POS providers can seamlessly transfer strain data to Leafly Biz. If yours doesn’t, you will need to manually select the brand for each item.
If you are currently POS connected, you can check out more details about your specific integration found in our POS guides here: Point of Sale Guides
Verifying your brand data
1. Accessing your Menu Manager
- Log into your Leafly Biz Dashboard
- From the left-side panel, click the Menu option
- Click on Menu Manager from the drop-down
2. Confirming Missing Brand Data
In the Leafly Menu Manager, you can check for menu items that are missing brand data by using the Menu filter.
Look for the "Incomplete Item Data" section, and then check the checkbox next to the "No Brand Name" option. If you don't see this option, it means all your menu items have brands linked to them.
When you select this option, your menu manager will automatically filter to display only items without brand data attached to them.

3. Confirming Current Brand Data
Once inside your Leafly Menu Manager, you can check to see what brands are linked to your menu items. You can also see if incorrect data is sent or if the strain has incorrect brand information added. You can start by accessing the Menu filter.
Clicking on the 'Brand Name' option from the Filters menu will expand. From there, you can scroll through the list of strain names and locate the menu items in Menu Manager
Adding Brand Data to your menu items
To add Brand Data:
- Scroll, filter, or search to find the menu item you want to update.
