The new site is part of the continued growth Psychedelic Spotlight is experiencing. In Q4 of 2020 a record number of new users visited the site, breaking page view records. When PSYC initially launched Psychedelic Spotlight last spring I m not sure if anyone could fathom how quickly it would grow into one of the most prominent sources for news, information, and resources within the sector of medicinal psychedelics, said David Flores, Global Trac Solutions, Inc. CEO. The new site will present a sleeker and more appealing visual experience for our audience. However, some of the most important and beneficial updates and changes we have infused the site with are on the backend. This new site has been developed with SEO and Google ranking analytics in mind in order to more effectively position it to capture as much of the growing audience within this sector as possible.
