01 · CONVERSION AUDIT

Shopify conversion audit: find where you're losing sales.

A senior-led review of how customers actually move through your site, from first visit to checkout. You get a prioritised roadmap with every opportunity sized in pounds, so you know what to fix first and what it's worth.

Who it's for

Traffic is there. Sales aren't keeping up.

For DTC brands that have outgrown guesswork and want a clear, commercial view of where the site is holding them back.

  • 01Conversion has flattened while traffic grows
  • 02You're about to brief a redesign or a new agency
  • 03Your dev backlog has no clear order
  • 04You're not sure your data tells the truth

What we review

Every step of the journey, on the devices your customers use.

Arrive

Mobile first visit

Pop-ups, banners and cookie notices that stack up before a customer sees a single product.

Localisation

Currency, shipping and returns messaging for every market you sell into.

Find

Navigation and discovery

Menus, search, filters and collection pages. How quickly can a customer find the right product?

Offers and pricing

Discounts, bundles and promotions. Are they selling the product, or competing with it?

Decide

Product pages

Imagery, sizing, stock messaging, reviews and the reasons to buy now.

Returns and post-purchase

Why products come back, and what the product page could have told the customer first.

Buy

Basket and checkout

Shipping thresholds, delivery promises, payment options and the moments customers drop out.

Speed and technical friction

Slow pages, broken journeys and app conflicts, identified and briefed for your developers.

Underpins it all

Tracking and data

Is GA4 recording sales, funnels and events correctly? If the numbers are wrong, everything built on them is too.

What you get

A plan, not a pile of slides.

Everything is ranked by commercial impact and effort, so your team knows what to do on Monday morning.

  • Tracking health report, with fixes for anything that's misreporting
  • Prioritised findings, each sized in annual revenue impact
  • Quick wins your team can ship in days
  • Developer tickets for the top opportunities: summary, problem, user story, proposed solution and the KPIs to watch
  • A priority board of every recommendation, mapped into a roadmap with your team
  • A walkthrough call with your team to agree next steps

Illustrative example

How a finding is sized.

Every recommendation comes with the evidence, the fix and what it's worth. Figures here are illustrative.

Finding · Mobile first visit

New mobile visitors close three overlays before seeing a product.

Evidence
Sign-up pop-up, app banner and cookie notice all open on landing; session recordings show early exits.
Fix
One overlay at a time, delayed until the customer has engaged.
Sizing
50,000 mobile sessions a month × 0.1 point conversion lift × £60 average order = £3,000 a month, about £36,000 a year.
Effort
Low. Theme and app settings, no new build.

FAQ

Conversion audit questions.

How is this different from an agency audit?

Agencies often audit towards the work they want to sell next, like a redesign or a retainer. This audit is senior-led and independent: every finding is sized in revenue and ranked by commercial impact, and your team or your existing agency can deliver it.

Which platforms do you audit?

Mostly Shopify and Shopify Plus. Other major ecommerce platforms are possible on request; we'll confirm on the check-up call.

What access do you need?

Read-only access to your analytics (usually GA4), your ecommerce platform and any behaviour tools you use, such as Clarity or Hotjar. If tracking is patchy, that becomes the first finding. We're happy to sign an NDA.

Do you implement the changes?

No. You get clear, prioritised recommendations and developer tickets your team or agency can build from. If you'd like ongoing senior support to test and roll them out, that's what DOC Partner is for.

What affects the price?

Mainly the size of your catalogue, the number of markets or storefronts, and the state of your tracking. You'll get a fixed quote after the check-up call, before anything starts.

What happens after the audit?

You can run with the roadmap yourselves, hand it to your agency, or move to DOC Partner for monthly testing and support. There's no obligation either way.
