The 14-Point Strategic Shopify Audit Framework

A complete, human-analyzed read of your Shopify store. We evaluate your historical order data, conversion rate experience, and technical catalog structure to uncover hidden profit leaks and growth levers.

1. Data & Revenue Intelligence (Points 1–5)

Standard dashboards show surface-level sales. We run custom pattern-matching across your raw order exports to evaluate true buyer behavior, cohort retention, and basket combinations.

Point 01

Cohort & LTV Curves

Mapping exact day-count reorder patterns and repeat customer value across 30, 60, and 90+ day windows to pinpoint drop-offs.

Point 02

Basket Velocity & Multi-Item Bundling

Identifying exact product combinations shoppers naturally purchase together to build high-converting bundles and raise Average Order Value (AOV).

Point 03

Variant & Option Friction

Uncovering specific sizes, finishes, colors, or technical options that trigger abnormally high checkout abandonment or stock stagnation.

Point 04

Replenishment & Consumption Windows

Calculating the precise product lifespan or usage cycle to optimize automated post-purchase email timing and reorder prompts.

Point 05

Entry-Product Contribution

Identifying which specific first-time purchase items convert buyers into high 90-day Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) accounts versus single-item churners.


2. Conversion Rate & Site Experience (Points 6–10)

We evaluate your store’s core user journey through a retail-focused lens, identifying design friction, clarity gaps, and missed cross-sell touchpoints.

Point 06

Homepage & Brand Value Proposition

Evaluating immediate value clarity, offer hierarchy, and above-the-fold engagement to ensure high-intent browsers stay on site.

Point 07

Collection Grid & Navigation Flow

Auditing category structures, filtering logic, and pathing friction from initial landing pages down to product discovery.

Point 08

Product Detail Page (PDP) Friction

Inspecting size and specification guidance, product media layout, stock status displays, and swatch option presentation.

Point 09

Cart & Drawer Cross-Sells

Evaluating free shipping progress bars, slide-out cart upsells, and friction points before the customer enters checkout.

Point 10

Checkout Journey & Trust Signals

Identifying drop-off triggers across shipping calculations, express payment options, and trust reassurance elements.


3. Technical & Catalog Structure (Points 11–14)

A deep check under the hood to ensure technical setup, feed accuracy, and search capabilities are fully supporting store performance.

Point 11

Product Feed & Metafield Health

Reviewing catalog feed completeness, variant structure, and product tagging accuracy for Google, Meta, and marketing channels.

Point 12

Site Speed & Mobile Performance Blockers

Identifying visual load delays, script bloat, or UI bugs impacting mobile buyer momentum and mobile conversion rates.

Point 13

Search & Discovery Usability

Auditing internal site search accuracy, zero-result search queries, and auto-suggest performance for high-intent browsers.

Point 14

Post-Purchase & Customer Loop

Evaluating order confirmation flows, transactional messaging touchpoints, and return or exchange friction points.
