Shopify growth advisor
A Shopify growth advisor for founders and in-house teams who want an experienced second opinion, not another agency. I review your store, ads and numbers, tell you what to change and in what order, and stay on call while your team does the work. $300 USD for the audit, then $75 USD an hour. See pricing.
When a growth advisor is the right fit
- You have people doing the work, in-house or freelance, but nobody senior to set the direction.
- You're about to make a big decision: raising ad spend, hiring an agency, launching a new channel, or rebuilding the site.
- Something stopped working and you want an independent read before anyone changes anything.
- You want to check an agency's work before you renew the contract.
If you'd rather have someone run it all, a fractional growth manager is the better fit.
What you get from advisory work
- The audit: a written, prioritized list of what's costing you money across ads, tracking, site and email, with evidence for each and how to measure the fix. Delivered with a recorded walkthrough within 3 business days of view-level access.
- Working sessions: calls with you or your team to plan the changes, review results and decide what's next, at $75 USD an hour.
- On-call answers: available within an hour, Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm Eastern, when a decision can't wait.
Questions founders bring to an advisor
- Should we spend more on Meta, or fix something first?
- Why don't Meta's purchases match Shopify? See the tracking audit.
- Is our agency's reported ROAS real, or is brand search and remarketing taking the credit?
- Should we start Google Ads, and with what structure? See the 2026 setup.
- Which of these ten ideas should we do first?
Advice from someone who does the work
I advise from hands-on experience, not theory: I've run a $250,000 monthly budget at Vention, $1 million across seven countries at Maison Battat, and Shopify accounts like Taylrd, Shift and Brooklyn Transfers myself.
I personally do the work; nobody else runs your accounts. The small team at Branva, the agency I founded, only helps with production such as creative edits and email builds, under my direction.
Other ways to work with me
The same person, different scope. Pick the one that matches what you need:
- Shopify growth consultant: diagnose what's limiting growth and fix it across channels.
- Shopify fractional growth manager: own the growth targets and run the experiments, part-time.
- Shopify fractional marketing manager: a part-time head of marketing who runs the plan and the people.
- Shopify growth specialist: hands-on technical work: tracking, ads, feeds, email and CRO.
- Shopify growth partner: a long-term partner accountable to targets every quarter.
Prices for all of them are on the pricing page.

Common questions
What does a Shopify growth advisor do?
A Shopify growth advisor reviews your store, ads and numbers, tells you what to change and in what order, and supports the people doing the work. The advisor sets direction; your team or freelancers carry it out.
How much does a Shopify growth advisor cost?
The audit is $300 USD, fixed, with a written fix list and recorded walkthrough within 3 business days. Working sessions after that are $75 USD an hour. The first 30-minute call is free.
Is a growth advisor or a fractional manager better for my store?
If you have people to do the work and need direction, an advisor. If you need someone to own the targets and do the work, a fractional growth manager.
Can you review my agency's work?
Yes. I check their reporting against Shopify, how much credit brand search and remarketing are taking, and whether the account structure and tracking are sound.
What access do you need?
View-level access only for the audit: partner access in your Meta business portfolio, Google Ads read access and a Shopify staff account. Never passwords or billing permissions.
