Conversion Rate Optimization
Shopify Conversion Audit
Your Shopify store gets traffic but not enough sales. The problem is rarely the product — it is the path from landing page to checkout. We find every conversion blocker and tell you exactly what to fix, in priority order.

What we audit
Six areas of your store that directly impact whether visitors buy or bounce. Each one is evaluated against e-commerce best practices and real behavioral data.
Visual hierarchy
Can visitors find the buy button in under 3 seconds? We trace the eye path from landing to checkout and flag anything that competes for attention.
Common issues: Cluttered headers, competing CTAs, buried pricing, too many hero elements.
Mobile experience
70%+ of traffic is mobile. If your store was designed on a desktop and never properly tested on a phone, your mobile conversion rate is leaving money on the table.
Common issues: Tiny tap targets, horizontal scrolling, sticky elements blocking content, unoptimized images.
Page speed
Every additional second of load time reduces conversions by roughly 7%. We identify the heaviest elements — apps, images, scripts — and quantify their impact.
Common issues: App bloat, unoptimized images, render-blocking scripts, no lazy loading.
Product page optimization
The product page is where the buying decision happens. We evaluate every element: images, pricing display, variant selectors, reviews, shipping info, and trust signals.
Common issues: Missing variant info, no social proof, confusing pricing, no clear add-to-cart path.
Checkout flow
From cart to confirmation, every extra step is a chance to lose the sale. We map the full checkout journey and flag unnecessary friction.
Common issues: Forced account creation, hidden shipping costs, limited payment options, confusing return policy.
Analytics and tracking
If you cannot measure what is happening, you cannot improve it. We verify your GA4 setup, conversion tracking, and event data quality.
Common issues: Missing purchase events, no funnel visualization, broken enhanced ecommerce, no cohort tracking.
Five conversion killers we see on most stores
These issues show up on stores doing $10k/month and stores doing $100k/month alike. Fixing them is often the fastest way to increase revenue without spending more on ads.
No clear value proposition above the fold
Visitors should understand what you sell, why it matters, and how to buy — within 5 seconds of landing on your store. If your hero section is a generic banner with no actionable messaging, you are losing buyers before they scroll.
Fix: Lead with your core offer: what you sell, who it is for, and why it is different. One clear CTA below it.
Hidden or late shipping costs
Unexpected shipping costs at checkout are the number one reason for cart abandonment. If customers only learn the shipping price after adding items to cart, they leave.
Fix: Show shipping costs or a free shipping threshold on the product page. Use a shipping calculator in the cart drawer.
Missing trust signals at decision points
Reviews, security badges, return policies, and payment method logos need to appear where hesitation happens — near the price and add-to-cart button — not buried in the footer.
Fix: Place reviews, secure checkout badges, and guarantee statements directly on product pages near the CTA.
Slow mobile load times
Mobile shoppers are impatient. If your product page takes more than 3 seconds to load on a 4G connection, 40% of visitors will leave before seeing anything.
Fix: Audit installed apps, compress images, defer non-critical JavaScript, and use Shopify native features instead of app workarounds.
No urgency or scarcity (when genuine)
If every product looks available forever with no time context, there is no reason to buy now. Genuine urgency — low stock, limited editions, seasonal offers — moves hesitant buyers to action.
Fix: Show real stock levels, highlight limited-edition products, and use time-bound offers that actually expire.
