What We Do for Shopify Stores

Shopify stores have platform-specific marketing opportunities and pitfalls that generic agencies miss. Our Shopify-native approach means every service is optimized for Shopify's tracking architecture, product feed format, checkout constraints, and app ecosystem — not adapted from a WooCommerce or Magento playbook.

Shopify Tracking & Conversions API

Most Shopify stores lose 15–30% of conversion data to iOS 14+ tracking prevention, ad blockers, and cookie restrictions — causing ad platforms to under-optimize. We implement Meta Conversions API (CAPI) via Shopify's native integration or custom server-side setup, Google Ads enhanced conversions, TikTok Events API, and GA4 server-side tracking. Every purchase event is verified across client-side (pixel) and server-side (API) to maximize event match quality and restore lost attribution. This alone typically improves reported ROAS by 20–40% and enables better algorithmic optimization.

Google Merchant Center Feed Optimization

Shopify's default Google product feed is a starting point — not an optimized feed. We improve: product titles (keyword-first titles with brand, color, size, and material — not vague generic names), descriptions (searcher-intent optimized with key product attributes), GTIN accuracy (reduces Merchant Center disapprovals by 40–60%), image quality (lifestyle and white-background variants for different Shopping placements), and custom labels for margin-based bid segmentation. Feed optimization alone typically increases Shopping impression share by 30–50% without changing bids.

Meta & TikTok Paid Social

We run Meta and TikTok campaigns with Shopify-native integrations: Meta Commerce Manager product catalog sync for Dynamic Product Ads (automatic product retargeting with live prices and inventory), TikTok catalog integration for Shopping Ads, and Shopify's native TikTok Pixel with Events API. Campaign structure follows a proven ecommerce framework — broad prospecting, lookalike audiences from Shopify customer data, DPA retargeting for cart abandoners and product page viewers, and win-back campaigns for lapsed buyers — all with creative testing at every stage.

Klaviyo Email & SMS

Klaviyo is the highest-ROAS channel for Shopify stores — generating 20–40% of revenue from properly built flows at near-zero marginal cost. We build and optimize the complete Klaviyo flow library for Shopify: Welcome Series (3–5 emails converting new subscribers), Abandoned Cart (recovering 15–25% of cart abandonment with targeted incentives), Browse Abandonment (capturing intent signals from product page visitors), Post-Purchase (upsell, cross-sell, review requests), Win-Back (reactivating 90–180 day lapsed buyers), and VIP (loyalty rewards for high-LTV customers). SMS via Postscript or Klaviyo SMS adds urgency recovery for cart abandonment at 98% open rates.

Shopify CRO

CRO for Shopify focuses on the specific pages and flows that Shopify's platform constrains. Product page optimization: above-the-fold image carousel quality, variant selector UX, review widget placement (Okendo, Judge.me, Loox), add-to-cart button prominence, trust badges. Cart drawer vs. cart page testing. Checkout CRO for Plus merchants: Checkout Extensions for order bumps, trust badges, and custom fields. Collection page testing: sort order defaults, filter UX, product card layout. We run A/B tests using VWO or Optimizely with proper statistical significance thresholds — no 'gut feel' wins declared after 100 sessions.

Shopify Analytics & Reporting

We build a unified Shopify marketing dashboard combining Shopify Admin analytics, GA4, Klaviyo, and ad platform data: daily revenue vs. target, blended ROAS, new customer acquisition cost (nCAC), email revenue and list growth, top products by revenue and margin, and cohort analysis showing Month-2 and Month-6 repeat purchase rates for each acquisition cohort. Weekly executive reports in plain language — no agency jargon or impression charts. You know exactly how much marketing is contributing to revenue and whether you're on track to hit your targets.

Our Process

Shopify Marketing Onboarding & Growth

Every Shopify engagement starts with a technical foundation audit — because we've seen too many stores running expensive paid campaigns on top of broken tracking, under-optimized product feeds, and Klaviyo flows that were set up once and never touched again. Foundation first, scale second.

01

Shopify Technical Audit

Week 1 is all audit. We check: Meta Pixel and CAPI event match quality (target: EMQ above 7.0), Google Ads conversion tracking accuracy (compare reported conversions to Shopify orders), GA4 purchase event accuracy (compare GA4 purchases to Shopify orders — discrepancies above 10% indicate tracking issues), Google Merchant Center feed health (disapproval rates, pending products, feed errors), Klaviyo flow coverage (which core flows are live, which are missing or under-optimized), and Shopify store performance (Core Web Vitals scores, checkout step abandonment rates). The audit identifies the 3–5 highest-impact fixes before we touch campaign budgets.

02

Tracking & Feed Implementation

We implement all tracking fixes identified in the audit: CAPI setup (if missing), pixel event QA (checking that AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, and Purchase events fire correctly on every device type), Google Tag Manager container review, Merchant Center feed improvements (title and description rewrite, GTIN data, image quality standards, custom label setup), and GA4 ecommerce event validation. This phase typically takes 1–2 weeks and is non-negotiable — we will not run paid campaigns toward broken conversion signals. The tracking foundation determines campaign optimization quality for everything that follows.

03

Klaviyo Flow Audit & Build

Klaviyo flows are built or optimized in parallel with tracking setup — so both systems are ready for campaign launch simultaneously. We audit existing flows for revenue contribution, email volume, and deliverability health (list engagement rate, spam complaint rate, unsubscribe rate). Missing core flows are built from scratch with Shopify-specific triggers, dynamic product blocks (showing the exact products a customer browsed or purchased), and conditional splits (treat first-time buyers differently from repeat buyers). Existing underperforming flows are diagnosed and optimized — subject line testing, send time optimization, email content restructuring. Email typically generates 25–40% of Shopify store revenue for stores with properly built flows.

04

Campaign Launch & Structure

We launch paid media campaigns in a phased structure: first, capture existing demand (Google Shopping for product-specific search queries, branded search defense), then build new demand (Meta prospecting with broad and lookalike targeting, TikTok prospecting for visual product categories), then maximize existing traffic (Meta DPA retargeting for cart and product abandoners, Google remarketing). Each campaign phase has clear ROAS targets and budget allocation. We don't scale all channels simultaneously — we validate each phase's economics before adding the next layer. This prevents the common mistake of scaling a leaky acquisition funnel before the conversion rate and email flows are optimized.

05

Creative Testing Program

For Meta and TikTok, we run a structured creative testing program: 3–5 new concept directions launched every two weeks, with each concept tested in multiple hook variants. Shopify-specific creative formats include: product demo videos (showing the product solving a problem in a home/lifestyle setting), unboxing and first-use UGC content, before/after transformation content for products with visible results, and social proof compilations (review screenshots, star rating graphics, customer quote overlays). Winners are identified by CPP (cost per purchase) over a minimum $500 spend threshold and scaled to broader audiences. Creative library is refreshed every 14 days to prevent fatigue.

06

Monthly Growth Review & Roadmap

Monthly reviews cover the full performance picture: blended ROAS vs. target and prior month, new customer acquisition cost vs. LTV-based target, email revenue contribution and list growth, top 5 and bottom 5 products by marketing ROI, creative performance leaderboard, and cohort data showing retention quality of recently acquired customers. From the review, we build the next month's growth roadmap: budget reallocation recommendations by channel, new creative concepts to test based on winning patterns, CRO experiments to prioritize based on checkout and product page data, and any Shopify technical improvements (new app integrations, Shopify Plus Checkout Extension opportunities, international expansion via Shopify Markets).

FAQ

Shopify Marketing Questions Answered

What Shopify-specific tracking setup do you implement?
Proper Shopify tracking requires more than installing the Meta Pixel. We implement: Meta Conversions API (CAPI) via Shopify's native integration or custom server-side setup — restoring 15–30% of conversions lost to iOS ad blockers. Google Ads conversion tracking via GTM with Shopify's thank-you page trigger. GA4 ecommerce tracking with purchase events and item-level data. TikTok Events API. All events are tested via pixel helper tools and GA4 DebugView before campaign launch — broken tracking means your campaigns are optimizing toward phantom conversion signals.
How do you optimize a Shopify product feed for Google Shopping?
Shopify's default Google Channel feed is a starting point — not an optimized feed. We improve: product title optimization (keyword-first with brand, color, size, material), description optimization, GTIN/MPN accuracy (reduces Merchant Center disapprovals), image quality standards, custom labels for margin-based bidding, and Google Product Category taxonomy accuracy. Feed optimization typically increases Shopping impressions by 30–50% and reduces CPCs by improving Quality Score.
What Klaviyo flows should every Shopify store have?
Core Klaviyo flows ranked by revenue impact: Abandoned Cart (typically 5–15% of total email revenue), Browse Abandonment (catches intent signals missed by cart abandonment), Welcome Series (3–5 email sequence converting new subscribers at 3–5x better than broadcasts), Post-Purchase (upsell, cross-sell, review request), and Win-Back (targeting 90–180 day lapsed buyers). Advanced stores also run VIP flows, replenishment triggers for consumables, and sunset flows removing chronically unengaged subscribers.
Can you work with Shopify Plus stores?
Yes — we work with both standard Shopify and Shopify Plus. Plus provides access to Checkout Extensions (adding trust badges, upsells, custom fields to checkout — typically 5–15% checkout CVR improvement), Scripts (automated discounting and cart logic), Shopify Markets (multi-currency, multi-language, multi-region for international expansion), and advanced API access. We implement checkout optimization and Markets configuration as part of onboarding for Plus merchants.
How do you report Shopify marketing performance?
We build a weekly Shopify marketing dashboard combining Shopify Analytics, ad platforms, Klaviyo, and GA4: total revenue, revenue by channel (paid social, paid search, email, organic), new vs. returning customer split, blended ROAS, new customer acquisition cost (nCAC), AOV trend, cart abandonment rate, and email revenue contribution. Monthly reviews add cohort analysis (Month-2 and Month-6 repeat purchase rates), top-performing products by revenue and margin, and a creative performance report showing which ads drove the most efficient revenue.
