Shopify marketing ops and automation

Marketing ops for Shopify brands: the tracking, reporting, automation and processes that make ads and email work. I designed and built the automation behind Tilly, my Shopify marketing app, and Branva's in-house tools for reporting, store audits and SEO. $75 USD an hour, or scoped with a monthly plan. See pricing.

What marketing ops covers

  • Tracking: Pixel, Conversions API, GA4 and Google Ads conversions matched to Shopify. See the tracking audit.
  • Reporting: one view of ads, Shopify and email, instead of four platforms reporting different numbers.
  • Automation: budget rules, scheduled reports, order and inventory tasks, and AI-assisted workflows with a person approving what goes live.
  • Shopify admin: collections, product data and the store structure your ads and feeds depend on.
  • Process: who does what, when, so launches and promotions don't depend on someone remembering.

Where I'd start is in Shopify Marketing Automation: What to Automate First.

Automation I've built

  • Tilly: drafts Meta ads from a store's reviews, makes each ad in a set a different kind of ad, and creates them paused so nothing spends until a person switches it on.
  • Branva's tools: multi-store reporting, store conversion audits and SEO content workflows.
  • Myndr: a store, flows, ads and affiliate tracking launched in 14 days on an AI-run stack.

Real ops results

  • Shift: tracking and attribution rebuilt from scratch into one reporting view, after two agencies left four disconnected platforms.
  • Lina Lennox: collections restructured and product data standardized in the Shopify admin.
  • Vention: Power BI, Data Studio and Excel dashboards so decisions ran on data across three regions.

Common questions

What is marketing ops for a Shopify store?

Marketing ops is the system behind the marketing: tracking, reporting, automation, store data and process, so ads, email and the site work from the same numbers and nothing depends on manual effort.

What should a Shopify store automate first?

Usually email flows, then reporting, then rule-based ad tasks such as budget changes against a target. Decisions about offers, brand and spend limits should stay with a person.

How much does marketing ops help cost?

My rate is $75 USD an hour. Larger builds are scoped on a free call.

Do you build custom automation?

Yes. I built the automation behind Tilly and Branva's in-house tools, and I build workflows with tools like Zapier, Klaviyo and AI assistants, always with a person approving anything that goes live.
