The E-Commerce &
Digital Audit

The E-Commerce and Digital Audit is a deep operational review of your online store. It covers architecture, product data quality, UX and buyer journey, SEO foundations, conversion performance data and the gap between your data and what is actually live on the store.

The problem this solves

You know something is wrong, but you don't know where to start.

Your store has traffic. You have products people want. But conversion is lower than it should be, the back-end is increasingly difficult to manage, and no one can give you a clear answer on what is actually holding the business back. 

The problem in most cases is structural. Stores that grow organically accumulate decisions: category structures that made sense at 200 SKUs but break at 2,000; product data that varies in quality across the catalogue; navigation logic that works for the team who built it but not for the buyer trying to find something. More spend on top of a broken foundation produces more wasted spend.

What the work involves

A deep operational review, not a surface check.

The audit covers your website architecture, product data quality, UX and buyer journey, SEO foundations, conversion performance data and the gap between your data and what is actually live on the store to find out exactly what is costing you revenue.

01

Audit your store architecture: navigation logic, collection structure, category design, and URL hierarchy

02

Review product data quality: titles, descriptions, specifications, tags, variants, and metafields

03

Assess UX and buyer journey from landing to checkout or enquiry, identifying friction points

04

Evaluate SEO foundations: metadata, collection descriptions, handle structure, alt text, and indexation

05

Review conversion performance data and identify where volume is being lost

06

Assess the gap between your ERP or product data source and what is live on the store

07

Identify the structural decisions that are creating ongoing operational drag

What you receive

Who is this for

Types of businesses this engagement is designed for.

01

E-commerce businesses with traffic but disappointing conversion rates

02

E-commerce operations that have grown organically and become structurally messy over time

03

B2B businesses with a trade website that is not generating the enquiries or sales it should

04

Companies preparing to replatform, rebuild, or scale and wanting clarity before committing to that investment

05

Businesses that have had development work done but suspect the underlying structure is still wrong

Investment and timeline

Bounded scope, clear output.

Investment

Scoped based on store size, number of SKUs, channel complexity, and analytics access. Stores with 2,000+ SKUs or multi-store environments are quoted individually.

Timeline

2-3 weeks. Timeline varies with scope, confirmed at proposal stage.

How it starts

A pre-engagement conversation confirms fit and scope before any commitment is made.
