eCommerce Digital Marketing · Google Premier Partner

eCommerce marketing measured in revenue, not clicks.

Online stores don’t need impressions; they need margin. Every campaign we run for eCommerce is tuned against revenue — Shopping feeds, paid social, SEO — with a live dashboard showing what each dollar returned. Planned, built, and reported in-house from Seattle, Tampa, and Orlando.

The proof

More revenue on $29,000 less ad spend.

A Seattle eCommerce brand with a lean marketing team wanted growth that didn’t come from simply spending more.

Two years of methodical campaign testing did it: queries, creative, and bids tuned against revenue, with every change logged in the dashboard both teams watched.

The result: +28% revenue and +29% completed checkouts — on $29,000 less Google Ads spend, same year.

Why this vertical is different

The three levers that actually move an online store.

The feed is half the campaign

Shopping and Performance Max run off your product feed. Titles, images, GTINs, and price competitiveness decide what a bid can do — so feed work comes before budget increases.

Waste hides in the queries

Search terms that click but never convert quietly eat budget. Methodical testing and negative lists reclaimed $29,000 for one client while revenue grew 28%.

Owned channels compound

Ads stop when the budget does. Product and category pages that rank keep selling — one DTC brand grew organic traffic 210% in eight months.

How we work

How an engagement runs.

01

Goals in unit economics

Discovery starts with margin, average order value, and what a new customer is worth. ROAS targets come from your numbers, not industry averages.

02

KPIs before launch

Revenue tracking, attribution, and targets go in writing before the first dollar moves. If we can’t measure it, we don’t launch it.

03

Optimize in the open

You see every dollar — where it went, what it returned, what we changed and why. The dashboard is live, not a monthly PDF.

04

Earn the renewal

A monthly strategy review walks through the numbers together. Stay because the work is working — no contract makes you.

Ad management fee
20% of spend
$500/month minimum · reduced rates & retainers at scale

What it costs — honestly.

Ad management — Google Ads and Shopping, paid social, display, and video — runs at 20% of monthly ad spend, with a $500 monthly minimum. The rate steps down as spend scales — larger programs as low as 15%, or on a flat-rate retainer — so extra budget goes to media, not management. SEO/GEO/AIO plans are flat from $1,299 per month. Every fee is itemized in the proposal, and campaigns run in ad accounts you own — no markups on spend.

  • No setup fees
  • No long-term contracts

Straight answers

Questions we get from this vertical.

What eCommerce marketing costs, how Shopping campaigns get decided, and what we will — and won’t — promise an online store.

Ad management — Google Ads and Shopping, paid social, display, and video — is 20% of monthly ad spend, with a $500 monthly minimum. The rate steps down as spend scales — larger programs run as low as 15%, or on a flat-rate retainer. SEO/GEO/AIO plans are flat from $1,299 per month. Every proposal itemizes fees before you commit — no setup fees.

Usually a test, not a guess. Standard Shopping gives you query-level control; Performance Max adds reach across YouTube, Display, and Gmail but hides detail. We often start with the control, add PMax where the feed and creative support it, and let revenue decide. Either way, the feed comes first — titles, images, and pricing do more than bids.

Sometimes — one Seattle eCommerce brand grew revenue 28% while cutting $29,000 in Google Ads spend. The mechanism wasn’t magic: two years of methodical campaign testing, cutting the queries and placements that spent without converting. We’ll tell you honestly whether your account has that kind of waste to reclaim.

Expect movement in 3–6 months. One DTC brand grew organic traffic 210% in eight months — but eCommerce SEO compounds through product and category pages, so the curve depends on your catalog and your competitors. We set milestones at onboarding and report against them monthly.

Yes. Campaigns run in accounts you own, so you see every dollar of spend at the platform level — no markups, no hidden fees, and nothing to migrate if you ever leave. It’s part of how we earn the renewal month to month.

No. Everything is month to month, with no setup fees. We earn the renewal every month — stay because the work is working, not because a contract says you have to.
