Your Store Gets Traffic. Someone Else Gets the Sale.

You’ve built something real. You get visitors, you run ads, you send emails. But the conversion rate sits at 1.8%, cart abandonment is 72%, and your best customers never come back for a second order. This is where revenue goes to die — and we fix it.

// THE_DIAGNOSIS

The 8 Profit Leaks Killing Your Store Right Now

We’ve audited 68 e-commerce businesses. These same problems appear in 90% of them — often simultaneously. Read these and count how many sound familiar.

Your Ads Are Spending, Not Earning

You’re running Meta and Google Ads. The spend goes up every month. But the ROAS is stuck at 1.4× — which means you’re barely breaking even after COGS and fulfilment.

“I spend $15K/month on ads and make $18K back. After product cost, I’m working for free.”

Avg. cost: $8,400/mo in wasted spend

72% of Shoppers Leave Without Buying

Industry average cart abandonment is 69.8%. Most stores do nothing about it. No exit-intent popups, no abandoned cart email sequences, no SMS recovery — that revenue just evaporates.

“I see 4,000 people add to cart every month. Only 1,100 actually buy.”

Avg. cost: 38% of potential monthly revenue

Your Site Converts Badly on Mobile

Over 70% of your traffic is on mobile. But your mobile conversion rate is half your desktop rate. Slow load times (LCP >3s), tiny tap targets, broken checkout on iOS — buyers leave before they pay.

“Mobile traffic is up 40% but revenue hasn’t moved. My site must be fine. Right?”

Avg. cost: $3,200/mo in mobile revenue lost

Google Doesn’t Know You Exist

Your competitors’ products rank on page 1 for exactly what you sell. Your product pages have no schema markup, thin descriptions, duplicate titles, and zero backlinks. Every month you’re invisible to high-intent buyers.

“I get traffic from ads but almost nothing organic. If I stop ads, the store goes dead.”

Avg. cost: 0% of organic potential captured

Your Customers Buy Once and Disappear

Your repeat purchase rate is below 20%. No post-purchase email flow, no loyalty programme, no personalised product recommendations. You pay acquisition cost every single time instead of compounding on existing buyers.

“We have 8,000 past customers. We send them a promo twice a year and wonder why they don’t come back.”

Avg. cost: 5× higher CAC than retention

Amazon Is Eating Your Brand Searches

Someone hears about your brand, Googles it — and clicks the Amazon listing that appears above your site. Amazon then owns that customer relationship, captures their data, and shows them your competitor next time.

“My Amazon sales look great. But my own site is stagnating and I have no customer data.”

Avg. cost: 15–35% revenue to Amazon fees

Revenue Only Happens in Peak Season

Q4 is great. January through September is a slow bleed. You have no evergreen content engine, no consistent SEO traffic, no email programme driving purchases outside of Black Friday — so revenue is entirely ad-spend dependent.

“We do 60% of our yearly revenue in November and December. The rest of the year I’m just surviving.”

Avg. cost: 9 months of underperformance

You Can’t See What’s Actually Working

iOS 14.5 killed last-click attribution. Your Meta Ads Manager shows 4.2× ROAS. Google Analytics shows the same customer came from organic search. Your email platform claims the purchase too. You’re making budget decisions with broken data.

“Every channel says it’s responsible for the sale. I genuinely don’t know where to put more money.”

Avg. cost: 20–40% budget misallocation
// HOW_WE_FIX_IT

We’ve Seen Every One of These Before. Here’s What We Do.

Not theory. Not frameworks. Specific tactics that have worked on real stores — with the results to back them up.

E-commerce paid advertising ROAS optimisation and SEO

“We spend $20K/month on ads. Meta shows 3.8× ROAS but our bank account says otherwise. And Google Organic is basically zero.”

Fixes Problems 01 & 04

Profitable Paid + Organic That Compounds

The ROAS problem is almost always a creative and structure problem, not a budget problem. We rebuild your campaign architecture, implement creative testing at scale, and fix your Google Shopping feed — while building the SEO foundation so paid dependency shrinks over time.

Rebuild Meta campaign structure with LTV-based bidding and audience segmentation
Fix Google Shopping feed — titles, attributes, custom labels, negative keywords

We produce and test UGC, static, and video ad variants at scale. Winning creatives get 3× budget; losers are cut within 72 hours. Most clients were running 3 variants.

E-commerce checkout optimisation and mobile cart recovery

“4,000 people add to cart every month. I send one abandoned cart email 24 hours later. I recover maybe 3%.”

Fixes Problems 02 & 03

Cart Recovery & Mobile CRO That Actually Converts

A single abandoned cart email is leaving 95% of recoverable revenue on the table. We build a 4-touch recovery sequence, fix the mobile checkout UX causing silent drop-offs, and run heatmap-informed CRO experiments on your product and checkout pages.

4-touch cart abandonment: 30min, 3hr, 24hr email + SMS with decreasing discounts

4-Touch Recovery Sequence

30 minutes (no discount), 3 hours (social proof), 24 hours (10% off), 72 hours (scarcity + final offer). Each touch is platform-native — email + SMS working in tandem, not duplicate messages.

PDP A/B Testing Sprint

We run structured A/B tests on your product pages: headline, hero image, social proof placement, CTA copy, and urgency signals. Most stores have never run a single test on their highest-traffic page.

Email lifecycle automation and retention marketing for e-commerce

“We have 12,000 past customers. Our email open rate is 18%. We only email during sales. Revenue is seasonal and I hate it.”

Fixes Problems 05 & 07

Lifecycle Email That Turns One-Time Buyers into a Revenue Engine

A list of 12,000 buyers with no lifecycle strategy is a gold mine sitting dormant. We build the full post-purchase journey — onboarding, cross-sell, win-back, loyalty — each triggered by behaviour, not a calendar. This is what makes revenue consistent all year, not just Q4.

Post-purchase onboarding sequence (5 emails over 30 days) to delight and retain

From the Founders and Operators Who Hired Us

Unfiltered feedback. We asked clients to be specific about what changed — not just say “great agency.”

★★★★★

We were spending $22K/month on Meta and making $28K back. After fees and COGS I was basically working for free. GrowVixa rebuilt our creative strategy around UGC and we’re now at 5.2× ROAS. I actually take a salary now.

Raj Jain CEO, Supplement Brand · $94K/mo Revenue
★★★★★

The attribution setup alone was worth the retainer. I genuinely didn’t know that 40% of our “Meta” conversions were actually from email or organic. We reallocated $8K/month of ad spend and revenue went up. That shouldn’t be possible but the data doesn’t lie.

// COMMON_QUESTIONS

Questions E-Commerce Owners Always Ask Us

Straight answers to the questions we get in every first call. No agency-speak.

Q
We already work with an agency. Why would we switch?

Because most agencies optimise for the metrics they control and report, not your actual bank account. We start with a revenue audit, not a pitch deck. If we look at your data and your current agency is doing a good job, we’ll tell you that. If we find the 8 problems above in your account, we’ll show you exactly where the money is going and what we’d do differently. The audit is free. The insight isn’t available anywhere else.

Our sweet spot is e-commerce stores doing $30K–$500K/month in revenue with at least $5K/month in ad spend. Below $30K/month, the economics of a full-service retainer are harder to justify. Above $500K, we can still help but the scope and team required is different — contact us to discuss. We work with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and custom-stack stores.

Paid channels (Google Shopping, Meta): meaningful ROAS improvement within 45–60 days. Email/SMS retention: additional revenue within 30 days of launch. Cart abandonment recovery: within 2 weeks of setup. SEO: early rankings in 90 days, significant organic traffic in 6–9 months. We prioritise the quick wins first — you should feel the difference within the first 60 days or we’re asking the wrong questions.

Our strongest verticals are fashion and apparel, health and wellness, home goods, beauty and skincare, and food and beverage. We have deep experience with DTC brands competing on both their own site and Amazon. We’ve also worked with marketplace-first brands migrating to DTC. We avoid dropshipping businesses and stores with no proprietary products — the economics don’t support the kind of long-term brand building we do.

We review your Google Analytics, ad platform accounts, Shopify/store data, and email platform. We look for the 8 profit leaks above and quantify them in dollar terms — “your cart abandonment is costing you approximately $X/month based on your traffic and current recovery rate.” You walk away with a prioritised list of fixes ranked by revenue impact, regardless of whether you work with us. It takes 3–5 business days and costs you nothing.

Full-service e-commerce retainers run from $4K–$12K/month depending on the channels and scope. Individual service retainers (paid ads only, email only, SEO only) start from $2,500/month. We provide a custom quote after the revenue audit, because the scope is always dictated by what your store actually needs — not a packaged tier. No lock-in contracts beyond the initial 3-month commitment.

Stop Guessing. Find Out Exactly Where Your Revenue Is Going.

Book a free revenue audit. We’ll dig into your store data, identify which of the 8 profit leaks apply to you, and tell you exactly how much each one is costing — no sales pitch, no obligation.
