You've hit a ceiling

You Built Something Great. But Growth Has Stalled.

Video

“I’ve been doing the same thing for 12 years. It’s like, do I just keep … can I keep just doing the same thing?” — Kevin, Shopify store owner

Your store does well. Customers love your products. You’ve built something real through hard work, word of mouth, and personal relationships.

But you’ve hit a wall. The referrals have slowed. The personal network is tapped. The trade shows aren’t what they were.

You know SEO matters. You know people are searching for exactly what you sell. But you’ve never invested in it, and you’re not sure where to start.

Here’s the good news: stores like yours (real products, loyal customers, years of history) are exactly the ones that tend to see the biggest returns from SEO. You just haven’t unlocked it yet.

The Channels That Got You Here Won’t Get You There

I talk to store owners every week who are in exactly this spot. One told me they “haven’t had a really good marketing strategy since trade shows died.”

Trade shows used to work. “Before COVID we could go to a trade show and come back with 300, 400 leads.” But attendance dropped, costs went up, and the ROI disappeared.

Paid ads are a treadmill. “If I turn off the ads, everything stops.” You’re spending more for less, and every dollar pulled from ads means lost revenue the next day.

Your personal network is spent. “I’ve squeezed my personal network, like, all the way as hard as I can go.”

You’ve never done SEO. “It’s just something we’ve never done before as a company.” You know it matters, but you don’t know what you don’t know.

As one store owner put it: “We’re completely dependent on paid, and that terrifies me.”

You don’t need more hustle. You need a channel that compounds. SEO is the only marketing channel where last month’s work still pays off this month, and next month, and next year.

You don't have to figure this out alone

The Solo Founder Trap

“I have to do it all because I can’t afford to pay someone. But I can’t do it all because there’s only 24 hours in a day.” — Tamera, Shopify store owner

Here’s what I see: you know SEO would help. You’ve thought about it. Maybe you’ve started reading about it. But the learning curve feels massive, you’re already working 80-hour weeks, every guide contradicts the last one, and you’re not sure what actually applies to Shopify.

So it stays on the to-do list. Another month goes by. Another quarter of traffic you could have had.

Another told me: “I feel like doing it by myself, I’ve not been very successful at doing it by myself for very long. And I’m by myself.”

You don’t need to become an SEO expert. You need someone who already is one to look at your store and tell you exactly what to do.

You should be found

You Are the Authority. Google Just Doesn’t Know It Yet.

“We should be the authority. We are the authority. But we need to be the authority on Google.” — Tim, Shopify store owner

This is the gap I close. You’ve got the products, the expertise, the customers. But when someone searches for what you sell, your store doesn’t show up. That’s not because you’re not good enough — it’s because your store hasn’t been set up to tell Google what you do.

Collections without descriptions. Products without SEO titles. No content targeting the search terms your customers actually use. It’s like having a great store on a street with no signs pointing to it.

The beauty of SEO is that it compounds. Every page you optimize, every collection you create, every keyword you target, it builds on itself. Six months from now, you could have a stream of organic traffic that doesn’t require a daily ad budget.

What I'll do

The SEO Opportunity Report: Your First Step Into Organic Growth

I’ll analyze your store by hand and give you a focused plan for capturing organic traffic you’re currently missing. No jargon. No 200-page report. Just the opportunities that matter most for your specific store.

This isn’t:

  • The same old hand-wavy advice you’ve heard a thousand times, like “add alt-text to your images”
  • A confusing report that overwhelms you and looks like a printout from a car dealership
  • A guaranteed path to ranking #1, which no SEO consultant worth their salt should ever promise

This is: a strategic roadmap to finding and capturing the organic traffic and revenue your store is currently missing out on. Built specifically for stores that are ready to open organic as a real growth channel.

Where your customers are searching

I’ll map the keywords your target customers actually use when they’re ready to buy, and show you which ones your store can realistically rank for. People are literally searching for what you sell. You just need to show up.

What your competitors are doing right

I’ll analyze the stores that show up when your customers search, and identify the specific gaps you can exploit. Many of these competitors aren’t doing anything special. They’ve just done the basics that you haven’t gotten to yet.

Your highest-impact opportunities

Not everything matters equally. I’ll prioritize the top 5-10 changes that’ll move the needle fastest, so you’re not overwhelmed with a list of 200 tasks. My recommendation: start with the quick wins, then build from there.

A Do Now / Do Soon / Do Later plan

Structured so you (or your developer) can make progress without burning out. The biggest opportunities are usually the simplest: SEO titles, collection descriptions, internal linking. You don’t need to tackle everything at once.

60-minute walkthrough call

We’ll meet to walk through every finding and recommendation. I’ll answer your questions and help you understand the why behind each priority.

Want help implementing? I offer done-for-you SEO implementation and ongoing SEO coaching if you’d rather work together over time.

Been burned before?

“I’ve Paid for SEO Before and Got Nothing”

Maybe you haven’t done SEO yet. But maybe you tried (an agency, a freelancer, a tool) and it didn’t work. I hear this constantly. One store owner told me she’d “probably spent $50,000 on SEO and had nothing to show for it.”

Here’s how I’m different: I do the work personally. I only work with Shopify stores. I focus on revenue opportunities, not vanity metrics. And if I can’t help you, I’ll tell you — I’d rather give you an honest answer than take your money.

I’m regularly referred by Shopify design agencies like Aeolidia and recommended by merchants who’ve worked with me. I’m a small business by choice — you’re not getting handed off to a junior associate.

Common questions

Everything You Need to Know

We’ve never done SEO. Is it too late to start?

It’s not too late — and you’re actually in a good position. Stores with real products and loyal customers have something most SEO-first stores don’t: genuine authority. You just need to make Google aware of it.

How long before we see results?

SEO compounds over time. Most stores start seeing meaningful traffic improvements within 3-6 months of implementing the report’s recommendations. The longer you’ve been in business, the faster it tends to work, because you already have domain authority you haven’t tapped.

I don’t have a developer. Can I implement this myself?

Many of my clients implement the recommendations themselves. The report is written in plain English with specific step-by-step instructions. For technical changes, I’ll clearly indicate what needs developer help, and I can recommend one if you need it.

Can you just do it for me?

Yes. After the SEO Opportunity Report, I offer done-for-you implementation through my SEO Power-Up service ($6,000). I also offer ongoing SEO coaching ($3,000 first month, then $1,500/month) if you want to learn as you go with bi-weekly calls and Slack access.

I’m worried about getting overwhelmed with another project.

The report is specifically designed as a Do Now / Do Soon / Do Later plan so you can make progress at your own pace. Start with the quick wins. You don’t need to tackle everything at once.
