Services / Improve what’s live / Store audit

Find what’s leaking. Leave with a plan you can ship.

We audit the live store — speed, navigation, email, tracking — and leave you a sequenced roadmap.

The complete store audit

Six layers. One roadmap.

Load times, navigation, conversion, email, tracking — we look at the store the way a shopper and a merchant both experience it, then tell you what to fix first.

Store usability

Menus, search, collection structure and the paths people take — plus the friction that stops them.

Shopify tech review

Site speed, on-page SEO, theme code quality and app weight — Shopify and Shopify Plus only.

Purchase experience

PDP, cart and checkout — the moments that decide whether someone buys.

Analytics & behaviour

Traffic quality, mobile conversion and funnel drop-offs — what’s happening vs. what the team thinks.

Email & SMS

Capture, segmentation and lifecycle flows — Klaviyo welcome, cart recovery and post-purchase that earn.

Tracking setup

GA4, GTM, events and conversion goals — so the next test has a scoreboard.

Traffic is coming. Sales aren't following.

The symptoms are different. The cause is almost always the store — a journey that quietly loses customers at every step.

Symptom

"People don't add to cart, conversion is very low"

You're fine-tweaking banners and running promos. The number doesn't move — because the site's UX is a silent leak nobody's looked at.

Symptom

"Conversions dropped suddenly and I can't find the cause"

High cart abandonment usually isn't a pricing problem. It's a UX issue — clarity or checkout flow problem — and it's traceable, measurable.

Symptom

"Mobile is most of our traffic but a fraction of our revenue"

A desktop-first store quietly punishes 70% of your visitors. The gap between mobile traffic and mobile revenue is where money leaks.

Audits we've run

    UX Store Audit

    Gooseberry

    The theme was quietly choking mobile. We tore through the codebase, mapped every speed and UX leak, then ranked what to ship first — capture and load time moved next.

    Traffic was fine. The journey wasn’t. Before a line of code, we mapped friction from discovery to checkout — then handed a sequenced roadmap the team could actually ship.

    NMN BIO

    One hero SKU was eating the catalogue. Subscriptions reset on variant change. Tapcart and cart recovery were leaking silently. We mapped all of it — then rebuilt discovery first.

Who it’s for

A live Shopify store — and a team ready to act on what we find.

Store owners

The store is live. Conversion isn’t following.

You’re already on Shopify and you want the customer journey to convert harder — more buyers, higher AOV, fewer people bouncing after the ads you already paid for. The audit shows where to start.

Ecommerce teams

You inherited a store — or you’re about to invest in one.

New to the brand, deciding rebuild vs. fix, or benchmarking before a bigger bet. We score current performance, name the leaks, and give you a roadmap you can take to the board or the build team.

Inside the audit

Request an audit

Insights, quick wins, and the path for growth.

Where people drop off, what the experience is costing you, the highest-impact opportunities, and a clear roadmap for what comes next.

1. Find the leaks

Where shoppers drop off

Homepage to purchase, with the highest-drop steps named. Not a heatmap dump — the pages costing the sale.

2. Experience insights

The pages that close the sale

Layout, pricing, proof and add-to-cart — read against how people actually buy. We surface the friction and the opportunities worth acting on.

How it works

From a call to a plan.

  1. 01

    We start with you

    One call about what the store should be doing, and where it already feels wrong. That shapes everything after.

  2. 02

    We go through the live store

    Two weeks on the real site. We separate what’s costing sales from what only looks like a problem, and write it up.

  3. 03

    We present it to the team

    An hour together. The roadmap, in order — then questions, and what to QA before anyone builds.

Good questions

What merchants ask before they audit their store.
