Consulting · E-commerce consulting

Ecommerce consulting from people who build stores and run their ads.

Our ecommerce consulting gives store owners a senior advisor: tech stack advice, growth roadmaps, conversion audits and a second opinion before big decisions. Because we build stores and run their marketing ourselves, our advice comes with the detail your team or agency needs to act on it.

Fit

Who it’s for

  • Founders facing a big decision: a platform change, a new market, an agency hire
  • Stores that have outgrown their apps, theme or set-up and aren’t sure what to change
  • Teams that want a regular outside view on growth, conversion and spend
  • Brands with an in-house team or agency who need someone to check the plan

Not the right fit if you want someone to run your campaigns or build your store; those are our managed services. Ecommerce consulting is advice and plans, with as much or as little hands-on help from us afterwards as you want.

Problems we fix

Where store decisions go wrong.

  • 01

    Apps piled on apps

    Each problem solved with another subscription, until the store is slow, expensive and nobody knows which app does what.

  • 02

    Replatforming for the wrong reason

    A migration chosen to fix a problem that was really the theme, the tracking or the offer.

  • 03

    Growth plans without margins

    Targets set from revenue alone, so the store grows its way into a loss.

  • 04

    Conversion advice from screenshots

    Redesigns based on opinions rather than analytics, recordings and real devices.

  • 05

    Agencies marking their own homework

    The only one judging the agency’s work is the agency.

  • 06

    Decisions made in a rush

    Peak season, a launch or a cash squeeze forces a big decision with no time to check the numbers.

Before we change anything, we check five things.

A short animated walk-through of the first checks in our audit. No sound needed: everything is on screen, and the transcript is below.

What we check first as your ecommerce consultant, an animated explainer of 1:10 with on-screen captions and controls to pause.

Read the transcript
  1. What we check first as your ecommerce consultant Five checks before any big decision.
  2. 1. What do the apps cost? Each problem solved with another subscription, until nobody knows which app does what. We list every app, its cost and its job. (Example store.)
  3. 2. Does growth make money? Targets set from revenue alone can grow a store into a loss. Break-even ROAS is 1 ÷ the margin left after costs. (Example: a 35% margin after costs breaks even at 1 ÷ 0.35 ≈ 2.9.)
  4. 3. Is the platform really the problem? Many migrations are chosen to fix something that was really the theme, the tracking or the offer.
  5. 4. Is conversion advice based on evidence? Redesigns based on opinions rather than analytics, recordings and real devices often change nothing. (Example store.)
  6. 5. Who checks the agency’s numbers? We compare what agencies report with what the store and bank actually recorded. (Example quarter.)
  7. Then we fix them, in that order. Want this checked on your store? The free growth audit covers all five, in writing.

Our approach

Ecommerce consulting built on how stores actually run.

Ecommerce consulting covers three kinds of question. Tech stack: which platform, theme, apps and integrations you need, and what to remove. Growth: which channels and offers deserve the next budget, and in what order. Conversion: why visitors don’t buy, and what to change first. Most engagements touch all three, because each depends on the others.

Tech stack advice starts with an inventory: platform and plan, theme, every app and what it costs, integrations with inventory, shipping, accounting and marketing tools, and the tracking set-up. We look for overlap, speed cost and risk, and recommend what to keep, replace or remove. When a platform move is on the table, we compare the real cost and benefit before anyone commits. Kashif has worked through migrations from Wix to Shopify for a high-ticket antique jewelry store and from Squarespace to GoHighLevel for a fashion e-commerce consultancy, so the advice covers the move itself, not just the destination.

A growth roadmap starts from unit economics: contribution margin per order, break-even ROAS and what a repeat customer is worth. From there we rank the options, such as a new channel, better retention flows, a higher average order value or conversion work, by impact, cost, confidence and time. Bidding targets such as target ROAS are set from those margins. For a fixed-price version, our growth strategy sprint turns this into a 90-day plan.

Conversion audits look at evidence before opinions: funnels in GA4 measured with e-commerce events, session recordings, the main templates on real phones, page speed against Core Web Vitals, and the checkout compared with Baymard’s checkout research. The output is a ranked list of fixes and tests, not a redesign mock-up.

Ongoing advisory keeps a senior ecommerce consultant close to your team: a monthly call, a review of the numbers, a second opinion on agency proposals and campaign plans, and quick answers before decisions that are hard to undo, like a theme change, a new app or a big discount event.

We advise on the platforms we build on: Shopify first, then WooCommerce and BigCommerce. Shopify’s own analytics and Shopify Flow are often the first places we look for quick wins. Advice is written so your team, your agency or our development team can act on it.

Kashif has worked with online stores since 2021, as digital marketing strategist for a high-ticket antique jewelry store in the US, and as SEO consultant for a fashion e-commerce consultancy. The people who give the advice also build stores and run Meta, Google and email, which keeps recommendations practical.

Every recommendation comes with the reason, the expected effect, the effort and who should do it. When something is uncertain, we say so and suggest a test instead of a guess. And if the honest answer is that the store doesn’t need a change, that’s what we’ll tell you.

Most questions touch all three.

How we use AI here

How we use AI in ecommerce consulting.

Most stores already pay for several AI tools. Part of our ecommerce consulting is checking which ones earn their place.

  • AI tool inventory

    Every AI app and subscription is listed with its cost, the scripts it adds and what it has measurably changed.

  • Research at speed

    Customer reviews, competitor offers and store data are summarized with AI, so the roadmap starts from evidence.

  • Where to adopt AI

    Clear advice on where AI fits your store, such as product content, site search or support, and where it doesn’t yet.

Where it doesn’t help: replacing decisions about price, range and positioning. Those are yours, and our advice is built around them.

Every app has to earn its cost.

How we run it

Four steps, evidence first.

Nothing is recommended before the numbers are read. Typical timing: discovery in the first week, the written plan within 2 weeks, and a review call at 30 days.

  1. Step 1

    Discovery

    Goals, constraints, the team, and read-only access to the store, analytics and ad accounts.

  2. Step 2

    Review

    Tech stack, numbers, funnels and channels reviewed.

  3. Step 3

    Recommend

    A written plan with ranked recommendations, presented on a recorded call.

  4. Step 4

    Advise

    Monthly advisory while the plan is carried out, if you want it.

By industry

What changes for your category.

  • Jewelry

    Jewelry stores often run many apps for reviews, try-on, engraving and financing. We check which earn their cost, and how trust and product detail show on product pages.

  • Fashion & apparel

    Fashion stores depend on filters, size data and returns. Advice covers catalog structure, returns in the margin numbers and the apps behind sizing and exchanges.

  • Luxury & high-ticket

    High-ticket stores sell few, valuable items after long decisions. We look at inquiry handling, financing, retargeting windows and how one-of-a-kind items are listed.

What does an ecommerce consultant do?

An ecommerce consultant reviews how your store runs, from platform and apps to marketing and conversion, and gives you a plan for what to change and in what order. The consultant advises; your team, agency or developers do the work, unless you ask us to.

How is this different from your growth strategy sprint?

The sprint ends in a 90-day marketing plan and runs as one fixed-price project. Ecommerce consulting is wider and can be ongoing: tech stack, platform decisions, conversion and a regular advisor for big decisions.

Should we move to Shopify?

Sometimes. We compare what you’d gain with the full cost of moving: rebuild, apps, data migration, SEO risk and team time. Often the problem can be fixed on the current platform, and we’ll tell you if so.

Can you review our agency’s work?

Yes. We review the accounts and plans on facts, settings and numbers, and give you a clear view of what’s working and what isn’t, with recommendations you can take back to them.

Which platforms do you advise on?

Shopify most often, then WooCommerce and BigCommerce. We also advise stores moving from site builders such as Wix or Squarespace.

Do you implement the recommendations?

If you want us to. Our development and marketing teams can carry out the plan, quoted separately. The written recommendations work just as well for your own team or another agency.

How often do we meet?

Project work has a kick-off and a recorded presentation. Advisory usually means a monthly call plus written answers in between, with extra time around launches or peak season if you need it.
