Something changed. Revenue is dropping.
Your Traffic Disappeared and You Need Answers
“We experienced an immediate reduction in traffic … it wasn’t a matter of deranking, it was a matter of disappearing.” — Hugh, Shopify store owner
One day your store was doing fine. Orders coming in. Rankings solid. Then something changed.
Traffic started dropping. Revenue followed. And the worst part — nobody can tell you why.
You’ve asked your developer. You’ve checked your ads. You’ve stared at Google Analytics until your eyes crossed. Nothing obvious. Just a slow bleed — or a sudden cliff.
I talk to store owners in exactly this situation every week. And here’s what I can tell you: there’s always a cause. You just need someone who knows where to look.
This is costing you money
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Here’s what I hear from store owners every week. One merchant told me she went “from averaging five to seven thousand dollars a day to under a thousand.” Another lost over $350,000 to a cascade of technical issues nobody caught.
- A Shopify theme update silently broke their SEO. Images stopped being indexed, structured data disappeared, internal links went sideways
- An algorithm change shifted their rankings. Their competitors didn’t get better, Google just changed how it evaluates their pages
- Technical debt finally caught up. Duplicate content, broken canonical tags, or crawl issues that compounded for months
- An app conflict nobody noticed. A new app injected bad code that tanked page speed or broke URLs
Another store owner told me: “We rank for wedding shoes. We used to be number one. All were sunny and bright until it wasn’t.”
These aren’t isolated cases. This happens to healthy, profitable stores.
The mystery is the worst part
When Nobody Can Tell You What Went Wrong
The uncertainty is what destroys you. You’re spending money on fixes that might not address the real problem. Every agency gives you a different answer. Every tool shows you a different list of “issues.”
Meanwhile, your paid ad costs are climbing because organic isn’t pulling its weight. Inventory is sitting. You’re losing sleep.
You don’t need to keep guessing. You need a diagnosis. Someone who’ll look at your store by hand, trace the drop to its actual cause, and tell you exactly what to fix.
You've been burned before
“I Don’t Trust Anyone Anymore”
Here’s what I’ve learned from hundreds of these conversations: the biggest barrier isn’t price. It’s trust.
Most of you have already paid someone to fix this. Maybe an agency, maybe a freelancer, maybe an SEO tool that promised answers. And it didn’t work.
One store owner told me she’d “probably spent $50,000 on SEO and had nothing to show for it.” Another said she’d “have had a better experience just taking that cash and setting it on fire.”
I get it. You should be cautious. So here’s what I want you to know:
- I do this personally. No junior associates. No rotating team. You work with me from the first call through the final walkthrough.
- I only work with Shopify stores. I’ve been specializing in Shopify SEO for over a decade. This isn’t a side gig.
- I’ll tell you if I can’t help. If your problem is outside my scope, I’ll say so, and I’ll point you to someone who can actually solve it. Even if we don’t end up working together, from the bottom of my heart, be very cautious about anybody selling you links or making ranking guarantees.
- I’m referred by agencies who trust me with their clients. Shopify design agencies like Aeolidia send me their clients because they know I’ll take care of them.
How I help
The SEO Opportunity Report: Diagnosis Before Treatment
I don’t guess. I analyze your store by hand and trace the traffic drop to its source.
This isn’t:
- Yet another generic report that lists hundreds of “issues” without telling you which one actually caused the drop
- A tool-generated crawl dump that 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 focused diagnosis that traces your traffic drop to its actual cause — and gives you a prioritized plan to recover the revenue you’re losing.
Root cause analysis
I cross-reference your analytics, Search Console data, and site structure against algorithm updates and technical changes. I find out exactly what changed and when — not a list of 200 possible issues.
Damage assessment
Which pages lost rankings? Which keywords dropped? How much revenue is the drop actually costing you? I quantify the impact so you know what recovery is worth.
Recovery roadmap
A prioritized Do Now / Do Soon / Do Later plan focused on the changes most likely to recover traffic. Not an overwhelming report you’ll never read — a focused plan built around your specific situation.
Opportunity identification
Traffic drops often reveal hidden opportunities. Pages that were ranking on autopilot might recover stronger with proper optimization. I’ll show you where.
60-minute walkthrough call
We’ll meet to walk through every finding and recommendation. You’ll leave knowing exactly what to do.
And if you want me to implement the fixes? I offer done-for-you SEO implementation as a separate project.
What you'll receive
Your Complete Deliverables
This isn’t a tool-generated report. This is a comprehensive, by-hand analysis and recovery roadmap, backed by my proprietary 146-point SEO analysis of your store’s keywords, rankings, analytics, and competitors. It surfaces what apps, agencies, AIs, and other consultants miss.
No bullshit, just straight talk. Delivered as:

Common questions
Everything You Need to Know
How do you figure out what caused the drop?
I cross-reference your Google Analytics, Search Console data, and site structure against known algorithm updates, technical changes, and competitive shifts. I trace the drop to its source — not guess at it.
My developer / agency already looked and couldn’t find the problem.
Most developers aren’t SEO specialists, and most agencies run automated tools that surface hundreds of “issues” without identifying the actual cause. I do this by hand, specifically for Shopify stores, and I’ve been doing it for over a decade.
Will you implement the fixes?
The SEO Opportunity Report gives you the diagnosis and recovery plan. If you want me to implement the fixes, I offer that through my SEO Power-Up service as a separate done-for-you project. Or if you prefer to learn as you go, my SEO Coaching gives you bi-weekly calls and ongoing guidance.
How long until traffic recovers?
It depends on the cause. Technical fixes (broken redirects, indexing issues) can show recovery in weeks. Algorithm-related drops take longer because you’re rebuilding relevance. Either way, the sooner you know the cause, the sooner you can act.
Time matters
Every Week You Wait Is Another Week of Lost Revenue
Every day your store’s organic traffic is down, you’re losing sales. Google doesn’t pause while you figure things out — it fills your spot with someone else.
The stores that recover fastest are the ones that diagnose the problem first, then act on a plan. Not the ones trying random fixes hoping something sticks.
