Problems we solve

What holds retail / dtc back.

These are the operational gaps we hear about most often from trade business owners. Sound familiar?

Out-of-the-box Shopify themes leave revenue on the table

Stock themes are built for "most stores," not yours. A custom theme matched to your category and brand often lifts conversion 20-40%.

Email/SMS automation not set up properly

Abandoned cart, welcome series, post-purchase - these should be running from day one. Most small brands launch without them and leave 15-30% of revenue on the table.

Ad accounts not structured for scale

Meta + Google Ads for DTC need proper catalog feeds, conversion API, and campaign structure. Most small brands "boost posts" and wonder why ROAS is bad.

SEO gets ignored entirely

Category pages and product pages can rank for real commercial keywords. Most DTC brands skip SEO, then wonder why they're stuck on paid.

Target queries

The searches we make you rank for.

These are the real search queries your customers are typing. We build pages that rank for every one × every city in your service area.

  • "[brand name] (direct brand search)"
  • "[category] brand online"
