◆ The problem
Most Essex ecommerce stores look average and rank nowhere. We fix both.
A Shopify store that doesn't rank is just an expensive brochure. A store that ranks but doesn't convert loses customers the moment they land. We design for conversion and engineer for rankings — at the same time, from day one.
Custom design
No themes. No templates. A store designed around your brand, your products and how Essex customers shop — built to convert from the first visit.
SEO from day one
Keyword-mapped product and collection pages, proper schema markup, Core Web Vitals compliance and an SEO architecture that compounds over time.
GEO & AI citations
Structured so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite your store when customers ask for products or brands in your category.
Live in 2–4 weeks
Scoped on a 15-minute call. No six-month agency projects. A real timeline, a real price, and a store your competitors will notice.
◆ Services
Who we build for — and what's included.
Two types of Essex ecommerce business. One build process that works for both. Everything below is included in every build — not a checklist of upsells later.
Launching for the first time
You have a product and you're ready to sell. We build your Shopify store from scratch — design, development, payment setup, SEO architecture and GEO signals — so you launch with everything in place and rank from day one.
Moving from another platform
On WordPress, WooCommerce or something held together with plugins and prayers? We migrate you to Shopify properly — full URL redirect mapping, SEO ranking preservation, and a design that reflects where your business is now.
Custom design
Designed around your brand identity. Every page — homepage, collection, product, cart, checkout — designed to convert, not just to look good on a portfolio screenshot.
Shopify development
Clean, fast, mobile-first development. No bloated page builders. Built to Shopify best practices so it stays maintainable and you can update it yourself after handover.
SEO architecture
URL structure, internal linking, keyword-mapped collections and product pages, meta titles and descriptions written for rankings — not filled in as an afterthought.
Schema markup
Product, breadcrumb, organisation and review schema — all implemented correctly so Google and AI engines understand exactly what your store sells.
GEO & AI citation setup
Content structured so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite your store when customers ask for what you sell. Most Shopify agencies have never heard of this. We build it in by default.
Core Web Vitals
Fast load times, proper image optimisation and clean code — so Google's performance scoring works in your favour, not against you.
Analytics & Search Console
Google Analytics and Search Console wired in and verified before handover. Traffic, rankings and conversion data visible from day one.
30-day post-launch support
We don't disappear at handover. Thirty days of support while the store beds in — fixes, tweaks and questions included.

Quick build, clean handover, and the SEO side was sorted from day one. No back-and-forth, just results.

◆ FAQ
Honest answers about Shopify in Essex.
No discovery-call ladders. Straight answers about what's included, how long it takes, and what it costs.
Do you build custom Shopify stores or just tweak themes?+
Custom builds only. We don't touch pre-built themes. Every store is designed from scratch around your brand — which is why they look different to every other Shopify store out there, and why they convert better.
Will my store rank on Google from launch?+
Yes — because SEO is built into the architecture before a single product goes live. Keyword-mapped URLs, proper schema, optimised meta and a content structure Google can read and rank. Most stores we see have had SEO retrofitted badly. We start with it.
What is GEO and why does my Shopify store need it?+
GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) means being cited when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI a question like "where can I buy X in Essex" or "best place to get Y online." AI tools pull from stores they can read and trust. We make yours one of them.
Can you migrate my existing store to Shopify without losing my Google rankings?+
Yes. Replatforming done wrong destroys rankings overnight. We map every existing URL to its new equivalent, implement 301 redirects correctly, and migrate your SEO signals so Google sees a continuation, not a new site.
How long does it take and what does it cost?+
Most builds are live in 2–4 weeks depending on scope. We quote on a 15-minute scoping call — a real number, not a range so wide it's meaningless. Book a call and we'll tell you exactly what it costs.
Do you offer ongoing SEO and GEO after the build?+
Yes. The Growth Plan starts at £497/mo — managed SEO, GEO and content strategy that compounds month on month. Most clients combine the build and the Growth Plan so rankings start moving the moment the store goes live.
