Growth that survives contact with your margins

A blended ROAS number can look healthy while individual product lines lose money on every order. We build the channel mix around what you actually keep after cost of goods and shipping.

Retail media costs rise every year. Owned channels and organic search are how the maths keeps working.

Three channels doing three different jobs

Paid social creates demand from people who did not know you existed. Search and Shopping capture demand that already exists. Email and SMS convert and re-convert the audience you already paid for. Judged as one system they make sense; ranked against each other in isolation they produce bad decisions — particularly since a sale credited to “Google” often started with an Instagram ad days earlier.

We sequence it in the order that pays fastest: fix the store's conversion basics, switch on lifecycle flows, clean the product feed, then scale acquisition against what the margin can carry.


What we do for stores

  • Store conversion workSpeed, product pages, shipping clarity and checkout friction on mobile.
  • Shopping and Performance MaxFeed optimisation, product-level segmentation and margin-aware bidding.
  • Paid social acquisitionCreative testing at volume, since creative is the main variable that remains.
  • Lifecycle email and SMSWelcome, abandonment, post-purchase and win-back flows before campaign sends.
  • E-commerce SEOCollection architecture, product schema and buying-intent content.
  • Reporting that reconcilesNumbers that match Shopify, segmented by product group and new versus returning.

Where the fastest wins usually are

Abandonment flows

Often the single highest-return automation in a store that has none.

Feed hygiene

Titles and attributes that decide which searches you appear for at all.

Returning customer revenue

Cheaper than acquisition, and consistently under-worked.


Results we report on in e-commerce and retail

These are the three numbers we hold ourselves to in this sector. Once we have a client in your category who is happy to be named, their figures go here.

Sector-specific proof matters more than a generic five-star wall.

Questions we get asked

What ROAS should we aim for?

It depends entirely on your gross margin. A 2x ROAS is excellent at 70% margin and ruinous at 25%. We work backwards from contribution margin, not an industry benchmark.

Do you work with marketplaces?

We can support Amazon and eBay presence, but our focus is your own store where you own the customer relationship and the data.

Can you help with Australian shipping expectations?

Yes — shipping cost and delivery-time clarity is one of the biggest conversion levers for Australian stores, particularly outside metro areas.
