What does a Shopify marketing agency do?+
A Shopify marketing agency runs the demand and revenue side of your store: paid social (Meta, TikTok, Pinterest), paid search (Google, Bing), Google Shopping, email and SMS (Klaviyo, Postscript), SEO and content, CRO and A/B testing, and lifecycle / retention. The good ones tie everything to MER, ROAS, contribution margin, and LTV — not vanity metrics.
How much does a Shopify marketing agency cost?+
Retainer-based agencies typically charge $5K–$25K/month plus 10–20% of ad spend. Performance agencies charge a smaller base + a percentage of incremental revenue. Conversion offers a pay-on-results structure — we only earn when sales grow. No retainer minimums for qualifying brands.
How do I choose a marketing agency for my Shopify store?+
Look for: Shopify-specific case studies (not generic ecom), Klaviyo Master Partner or Meta Business Partner status, transparent reporting on MER and contribution margin (not just ROAS), in-house creative team, and a documented experimentation framework. Ask for a sample weekly report. We'll send ours.
Is hiring a Shopify marketing agency worth it?+
If you're doing $50K+/month in revenue and your founder time is the bottleneck, yes. A capable agency unlocks 30–80% revenue growth in 4–6 months by fixing creative, scaling paid, and turning on retention channels you don't have time for. Below $50K/month, focus on product-market fit first.
What services do Shopify marketing agencies offer?+
Core services: Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Google Ads, Google Shopping, Pinterest Ads, Klaviyo email, Postscript SMS, SEO, content marketing, conversion rate optimization, AI-UGC creative, influencer / affiliate, lifecycle and retention. Premium agencies also do attribution (Northbeam, Triple Whale), MMM, and creative strategy.
How long until I see results from Shopify marketing?+
Paid social and paid search show signal in 14–28 days. Email and SMS revenue starts compounding in 4–6 weeks. CRO wins typically land in 30–60 days. SEO is a 4–6 month build. We always run paid + retention + CRO in parallel so you don't wait for any single channel.
Do you work with Shopify Plus and Shopify (non-Plus) stores?+
Both. Most of our scaling work is on Shopify and Shopify Plus DTC brands doing $50K–$5M/month. We also support B2B Plus stores running both DTC and B2B from a single instance. Below $50K/month, we'll often recommend self-managed playbooks before retaining us.
What ad platforms do you run for Shopify brands?+
Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram), TikTok Ads, Google Ads, Google Shopping (PMax + Standard), YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat where appropriate, and Spotify Audio for top-of-funnel. We're a Meta Business Partner and a Google Premier Partner.
Do you handle email and SMS marketing for Shopify?+
Yes. We're a Klaviyo Master Partner and a Postscript Partner. We build the full retention stack: welcome flows, browse/cart/checkout abandonment, post-purchase, win-back, replenishment, VIP, and SMS — typically 25–40% of total store revenue when done right.
How do you measure success for Shopify marketing?+
MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio), contribution margin, blended ROAS, new-customer ROAS, LTV:CAC, and revenue retention by cohort. We report weekly on these — not just per-platform ROAS, which lies after iOS 14.5. Attribution via Northbeam or Triple Whale where it makes sense.
