Track. Fix. Scale.

Track - fix the measurement first. GA4, GTM, conversion events, enhanced ecommerce for Shopify, call and form tracking for service businesses. Until you can trust the numbers, nothing built on top of them is worth much.

Fix - rebuild campaigns from a clean base, structured around what actually sells and what actually makes the business money.

Scale - once paid is firing, layer in CRO, custom Shopify work and SEO. Usually three to five months in.

Websites

Hand-built HTML on Cloudflare. No WordPress, no page builders, no plugin stack to maintain. Fast by default, tracking wired in from the first deploy. Full builds for owner-run service firms; Shopify theme, build and CRO work through a Shopify development specialist.

Flagship case

An anonymous jewellery brand on Shopify, taken from launch to £35M revenue across UK and US sites. £6.8M ad spend at 4.5× blended ROAS sustained over four years. #1 UK and #1 US for moissanite engagement ring keywords, past legacy competitors including Charles & Colvard. Hand-built authority links, low volume and high quality.

Two lanes

Shopify ecommerce owner-operated brands roughly £500K£10M, UK and US. Google Ads, Merchant Center feed work, SEO and Shopify development.

Service businesses plumbers, electricians, security firms, appliance repair. Fast HTML sites with real tracking, local SEO that ranks, and Google Ads built around local intent.

How I work

You work directly with the person running your account. No account managers, no middle layer. Google Ads, SEO and tracking are mine; development goes to a long-term specialist partner I project-manage.

Great service, David helped my business rank much better on Google and Bing. Much of what he did I don't really understand but it seems to have worked. I would recommend without hesitation. Thanks!! "
