What We Find in Almost Every Ecommerce Audit

After 100+ ecommerce projects, these are the patterns we see constantly. Any one of them is costing you real revenue every single day.

🕳️

Conversion Leaks Nobody Has Fixed

Checkout friction, broken mobile flows, slow page loads — issues that have been silently bleeding revenue for months or years. Often worth more than any marketing spend to fix first.

📊

PPC Spend with No Real Attribution

Your agency shows glowing ROAS numbers — but they're attributing your direct and organic traffic to paid campaigns. Real attribution tells a very different story.

🐌

Site Speed Destroying Your Rankings

A site that loads in 6 seconds loses customers before they even see your product. Speed is both a conversion issue and an SEO issue. It's usually both at once.

🔒

Platform Locked to Your Developer

Your developer has all the credentials, controls your hosting, and has made themselves impossible to replace — even if their work is mediocre. We break these dependencies.

🗓️

Migration Pitches That Destroy SEO Authority

New vendor inherits your site, pitches a replatform. URL changes, IP changes, domain authority erodes. Years of SEO work gone in 90 days for a migration that didn't need to happen.

💬

Vendors Who Won't Give You Straight Answers

If your ecommerce team can't explain in plain language why they're doing what they're doing, that's a problem. Complexity is often a shield for mediocrity.

One of our clients increased conversion rate by over 2× after a NuEthic redesign. A micro-site we built converted at 25% — compared to the industry average of 1.95%. These aren't flukes. They're the result of actually diagnosing the problem before throwing budget at it.

Let's Diagnose Yours →

Everything Your Ecommerce Business Actually Needs

Platform-agnostic. Results-driven. We work with Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and custom builds — the right tool for your situation, not the one we have a reseller deal on.

🔍

Full Ecommerce Audit

Deep review of your platform, analytics, conversion funnel, ad spend, SEO, speed, code quality, and vendor relationships. You get a complete picture of exactly what's happening.

📈

Conversion Rate Optimization

Data-driven CRO — not guesses. We analyze your funnel, identify the specific drop-off points, and prioritize fixes by revenue impact so you get results fast.

🏪

Platform Strategy & Migration

Is a platform change actually right for you — or is your current vendor just selling a project? We give you an honest answer, and if migration makes sense, we manage it to protect your SEO.

📋

Vendor & Agency Management

We manage your ecommerce vendors on your behalf — holding them accountable to real metrics, reviewing their work, and making sure your interests are protected.

🎯

PPC & SEO Audit

We cut through the metrics fog and tell you what your paid and organic channels are actually delivering. Then we build a plan that makes both work together.

⚙️

Technical Oversight & QA

Code reviews, performance audits, security checks — making sure what your developer is building is actually good, and that you own all of it outright.

We Didn't Just Consult on Ecommerce. We Built It.

Our team has delivered 100+ ecommerce projects at the highest levels — from enterprise rollouts to high-conversion micro-sites. We know every mistake, every vendor trick, and every shortcut that gets taken when nobody's watching.

🏆

Platform-Deep Expertise

Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce — we've built and audited all of them at enterprise scale. We know which platforms have real problems and which ones are being sold to you by someone with a commission.

📊

Data First, Always

Every recommendation we make is backed by your actual data — not industry benchmarks, not gut feelings. We build the measurement infrastructure first so we're making decisions with evidence.

🔓

Independence Is Non-Negotiable

You own your code, your data, your ad accounts, and your analytics. No vendor should be able to hold your business hostage — and we make sure they can't.

🎯

Holistic, Not Siloed

SEO, PPC, site speed, conversion, and platform health all affect each other. We look at the whole picture — not just the slice your current vendor is responsible for.

Real Results, Real Numbers

Through a redesign onto Magento 2.x and ongoing analytics refinements, Basic Research saw conversion rates more than double compared to their old platform.

A micro-ecommerce site we built for a food storage client converted at 25% — while the client's main site was converting at 1.95% from the same traffic sources.

These results come from diagnosing the real problem first — not from launching campaigns on top of a broken foundation.

Our PromiseOur recommendations typically offset our engagement cost within 90 days through eliminating waste, fixing leaks, and stopping budget from flowing into underperforming channels. If we don't see that path, we tell you before we start.

We Meet You Where You Are

Our team has worked across nearly every stage of business — from a napkin concept to a nine-figure acquisition. The problems change at every stage, but the need for honest, experienced technical guidance never does.

💡

Business Concepting & Early Stage

Turning an idea into a viable technical roadmap before a dollar is spent. We help founders separate what needs to be built from what sounds exciting — and give you real cost estimates before you commit.

🚀

Startups

Speed matters, but shortcuts in your technical foundation cost double later. We help startups move fast and build right — establishing code ownership, clean data architecture, and vendor independence from day one.

🏪

Small Businesses

Small doesn't mean you deserve worse service or less accountability from your vendors. We level the playing field — giving small business owners the same technical oversight and vendor scrutiny that enterprise companies take for granted.

🎯

Kickstarter & Crowdfunded Ventures

You've validated demand and raised capital — now you need to build without blowing your budget on the wrong technical decisions. We help crowdfunded founders make smart, scalable choices before momentum stalls.

🦈

Shark Tank & Investor-Backed Companies

You've got investment and a spotlight — which means your technical infrastructure needs to match your pitch. We help funded companies build credibly, audit existing systems for investor due diligence, and scale without embarrassing surprises.

📈

Growing Companies

You've outgrown your original tech decisions and the cracks are showing. We audit what you have, identify what's holding back growth, and build a prioritized roadmap to scale without breaking everything that's already working.

🏭

Large Enterprise & Divisions

Large organizations often have the biggest vendor accountability gaps — contracts are big enough that vendors get comfortable. We provide the independent technical oversight that internal teams are too close to the politics to deliver.

🤝

Buyouts & Acquisitions

You've acquired a business and inherited its tech debt, mystery vendors, and undocumented systems. We rapidly assess what you own, what's worth keeping, and what needs to change — before it becomes your liability.

🔗

Partnerships & Joint Ventures

When two companies combine forces, their technology needs to work together. We assess technical compatibility, identify integration risks, and help structure agreements that protect both sides' digital assets from day one.

🔄

Vendor & Partner Reviews

Is your agency, developer, or technology partner actually delivering value? We provide independent cross-partner technical reviews — the honest assessments that internal teams are too close to the relationship to give you.

🌀

Companies in Transition

Leadership change, rapid growth, market shift, or platform migration — transitional moments expose technical vulnerabilities fast. We help you navigate without losing SEO authority, data continuity, or vendor control.

🛡️

Recovery & Rescue

The project went sideways. The vendor disappeared. The launch destroyed your rankings. We've seen it all — honest triage, root cause analysis, and a recovery plan that fixes the actual problem, not just the symptoms.

Regardless of where you are, the engagement looks the same: we start with an honest conversation, diagnose before we prescribe, and measure every outcome against the goals we set together at the start. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
