Shopify consultant in Canada

I'm Janani Kumar, an independent Shopify growth consultant based in Montreal, working with Canadian Shopify brands, including brands in Toronto and Montreal, and with the US brands that make up most of my client list. I run Meta and Google Ads, tracking, email and CRO myself. A fixed $300 USD audit, $75 USD an hour, or from $689 USD a month. See pricing.

What's different about growing a Canadian Shopify brand

  • A smaller home market. Canadian audiences on Meta are smaller, so creative fatigues faster and frequency climbs sooner. A steady creative testing rhythm matters more here.
  • Two currencies. Pricing in CAD and USD at once, with margins that move with the exchange rate. Targets have to be set per market.
  • Selling into the US. Shipping, duties and delivery times change what a US customer costs and what they'll accept at checkout.
  • Quebec. Selling to Quebec customers brings French-language requirements for your site and marketing. More on the Montreal page.
  • Separate ad structures for each country, so a weak market can't hide inside a strong one.

How I work with Canadian brands

  1. Audit both markets: tracking, ad accounts, conversion and email, with Canada and the US read separately.
  2. Set targets per market from your margins in each currency, including shipping and duties.
  3. Structure ads by country on Meta and Google, with brand search and remarketing kept separate.
  4. Run retention in Klaviyo so customers in the smaller market come back more often.

Why work with someone in Canada

Same time zone as Toronto and Montreal, someone who understands the Canadian market and cross-border selling first-hand, and the US experience Canadian brands need when they expand south: about 80% of my clients are US brands. I personally manage every account.

Do you work with Shopify brands across Canada?

Yes. I'm based in Montreal and work with Shopify brands across Canada, including Toronto and Montreal, remotely and in the same time zone as most of the country's DTC brands.

Can you help a Canadian brand sell into the US?

Yes. About 80% of my clients are US brands, so I set up separate US campaigns and targets that account for shipping, duties and pricing in USD.
