A paid sprint that tells you what to build, and why it will move revenue.
Two to three weeks. We audit your go-to-market and the site underneath it, then hand you a prioritised roadmap that is scoped to be built — not a list of recommendations you have to translate yourself. Built on seven years of luxury and premium Shopify work.
Book a discovery callWhy we start with a paid sprint
Most growth engagements begin with a free discovery call, a proposal written on guesswork, and a retainer that spends its first two months finding out what is actually wrong. We would rather charge you for the diagnosis and give you something you can act on — with us or without us.
You own the output
The roadmap is yours whether or not you continue with us. There is no clause that holds it hostage to a retainer.
We both find out if this fits
Three weeks of real work tells you more about a partner than any pitch. It tells us whether we can genuinely help you.
It de-risks the bigger decision
A retainer is a six-month commitment. A sprint is a fixed, bounded way to test the thinking before you make it.
What we audit
We look at the commercial strategy and the machinery underneath it in the same pass — because in practice the two fail together.
Positioning & messaging
What you sell, who it is for, and whether your site says so clearly enough to convert cold traffic.
Go-to-market & channels
Where growth is actually coming from, which channels are underused, and what to sequence next.
Storefront & technical foundation
Theme architecture, performance, Core Web Vitals, and the build constraints that quietly cap your conversion rate.
AI search readiness (GEO/AEO)
Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Mode can find, parse, and recommend your products. Most stores are invisible here.
Measurement & attribution
What you are currently able to prove about your spend, and the gaps that make every other decision a guess.
Retention & lifecycle
Email and SMS flows, repeat-purchase behaviour, and the revenue sitting in your existing customer base.
What you get
A prioritised roadmap
Every recommendation scoped, sequenced, and estimated — with the technical work specified closely enough to hand to a developer.
The findings, in full
What we found, what it is costing you, and how we reached that conclusion. Including the things that are already working.
A working session
We walk you and your team through it live, and you get the recording. Questions are the point.
A clear next step
A recommendation on what to do next — including when the honest answer is that you do not need us.
Who this is for
We are most useful to brands that have found product-market fit and hit a ceiling they cannot engineer their way past alone.
A good fit
Ecommerce brands roughly $2M–$30M in annual revenue, scaling, too small for a full in-house marketing team but past the point where founder intuition is enough.
Also a good fit
Ecommerce SaaS and tools companies selling into the Shopify ecosystem that need help launching or repositioning.
Probably not a fit
Pre-revenue or sub-$1M stores, where the honest advice is to spend the money on inventory and traffic instead.
Not a fit
If you need someone to run paid media, we do not do that in-house. We will tell you so and refer you to someone who does.
GTM + Technical Audit Sprint
Scoped to your stack and quoted as a fixed fee before we start — it does not move afterwards. Tell us where you are on a short discovery call and we will tell you what the sprint would cover for you.
Book a discovery callThe sprint fee is credited against your first month if you continue into a retainer.
- Why is the audit paid rather than free?Because a free audit is a sales tool, and it shows. Being paid for the diagnosis means we can tell you things you did not want to hear — including that you do not need a retainer — without it costing us the deal.
- What do you need from us?Read access to your Shopify admin, analytics, and email platform, plus about two hours of your team's time across the sprint. We work from your real data rather than a questionnaire.
- Do you guarantee results?No. Marketing and search outcomes depend on platforms, algorithms, and execution we do not fully control, and anyone promising you a number is guessing. What we commit to is a roadmap specific enough to act on and honest about its own uncertainty.
- Do we have to continue into a retainer?No. The roadmap is yours either way, and it is written to be executable by your existing team or another agency. If you do continue, the sprint fee is credited against your first month.
- Can you build what you recommend?Yes — that is the point. We are engineers as well as strategists, so recommendations are scoped against what we know it takes to ship them. Storefront work, tracking implementation, and AI-search infrastructure are all things we do ourselves.
- Do you run our ads?Not currently. Paid media is deliberately out of scope — we do not have in-house media buyers and we are not going to pretend otherwise. We will advise on creative and tracking, and refer the buying to a partner.
