AI for ecommerce brands paying too much for traffic

When acquisition cost climbs, the instinct is to fix the ads. Usually the bigger number is somewhere else: a catalogue search cannot read, an ad account nobody has audited in a year, and a cart abandonment rate treated as a law of nature.

Catalogue SEO is where most stores leak the most and notice the least. Duplicate product descriptions from a supplier feed, faceted navigation generating thousands of near-identical crawlable URLs, missing or invalid product structured data, and collection pages with no unique content — these are not exotic problems, they are the default state of a store that grew quickly. The traffic lost to them is traffic you then rebuy through ads.

The second is the ad account itself. Accounts accumulate: campaigns nobody paused, audiences that stopped converting, conversion events double-counting through both a pixel and a server-side tag, and attribution settings nobody has revisited since iOS changed the rules. An independent audit routinely finds a meaningful share of spend doing nothing.

The third is the storefront as an attack surface. A store handling payments and customer data, usually running a stack of third-party apps and themes with their own dependencies, is rarely scanned. Exposed secrets in a theme, an outdated dependency, or a TLS misconfiguration are ordinary findings — and in this industry the consequences carry regulatory weight.

Vulnerability, exposed-secret, dependency and TLS scanning across the store and the apps bolted onto it.

Competitor visibility

How we deliver

Step 1
Crawl first

Audit the catalogue before touching spend — you cannot size an ad problem while an SEO problem is masking it.

Step 2
Audit the accounts

Tracking integrity first: an account measured wrongly cannot be optimised, only guessed at.

Step 3
Fix structured data

Valid Product and Offer markup across the catalogue, which gates every shopping and comparison surface.

Step 4
Then scale

Increase spend only against pages and tracking that have been verified to work.

Frequently asked

The SEO crawl, ad audits and security scanning are platform-agnostic — they work against your live store whatever it runs on. There is no pre-built app for these platforms today; implementing recommended changes happens in your theme or through our API, and we will say plainly which findings need a developer.
