Growth Audit

Start with clarity, not a contract.

The Growth Audit is a manual, senior-led review of your Shopify store. You tell us about your business, we walk the store the way a customer, a crawler, and a machine would, and you receive an honest, prioritised view of what to focus on next.

What the audit includes

Every review follows the same structure, so nothing important gets skipped and you can compare findings against the Website Health Center categories yourself.

Visibility review

How discoverable your store is across search, shopping surfaces, and AI answers.

Experience review

Navigation, hierarchy, and clarity across the paths customers actually take.

Conversion review

Product page, cart, and checkout friction that quietly costs revenue.

Retention review

Whether your post-purchase experience earns a second order.

Performance review

Real-world speed and mobile behaviour, not just a lab score.

Measurement review

Whether your analytics can support the decisions you need to make.

Prioritised recommendations

A short, sequenced list of what to do first — and what to ignore for now.

Who it is for

  • Growing Shopify stores

    Consistent orders, but growth feels unpredictable.

  • Scaling brands

    Multiple channels and enough complexity that priorities compete.

  • Established businesses

    Mature revenue, focused on margin, retention, and efficiency.

  • Teams who want the why

    Merchants who prefer understanding over a list of tactics.

What it is not

  • It is not an automated score generated by a crawler.

  • It is not a full technical penetration or security assessment.

  • It is not a design pitch or a template redesign proposal.

  • It is not a guarantee of specific revenue outcomes.

  • It does not require app installs or access to your admin.

How recommendations are developed

  1. Stage 01

    Discover

    Understand the business, the market, and what growth actually means for you.

  2. Stage 02

    Review

    Manually walk the store the way a customer, a crawler, and a machine would.

  3. Stage 03

    Analyze

    Separate symptoms from causes using structure, behaviour, and measurement.

  4. Stage 04

    Prioritize

    Rank opportunities by leverage and effort so sequencing is obvious.

  5. Stage 05

    Recommend

    Explain what to do, why it matters, and what to expect.

  6. Stage 06

    Implement

    Execute with senior practitioners across strategy, SEO, dev, UX, and analytics.

  7. Stage 07

    Measure

    Instrument first, then judge outcomes against the metric that matters.

  8. Stage 08

    Optimize

    Iterate on what worked and retire what did not.

  9. Stage 09

    Scale

    Extend proven mechanics into new surfaces, channels, and markets.

Transparency before commitment

Why we ask

Every question maps to a section of the review. If an answer would not change our recommendation, we do not ask for it.

Privacy & confidentiality

Responses are used only to prepare your review, are never sold, and can be deleted on request.

No obligation

The audit is free and educational. There is no pitch attached to receiving it.

How recommendations are developed

Findings are formed through the Orbit Growth OS — reviewed manually, ranked by leverage, and written in plain language.

Learn first — the audit builds on it

The audit is the natural next step after exploring the platform. Merchants who spend time in the Intelligence Center, Health Center, and Academy get far more out of their review, because the vocabulary is already shared.

Six short steps. About five minutes.

You will see a personalised Growth Preview with recommended learning before you submit anything — so you leave with value either way.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the audit take?

A senior strategist typically returns your review within 3–5 business days. Complex catalogues can take slightly longer, and we tell you if that is the case.

Is the audit automated?

No. Automated tools inform parts of the review, but a senior practitioner walks your store manually and writes the recommendations.

Will I receive recommendations?

Yes — a prioritised set of focus areas with the reasoning behind each, plus educational references you can act on immediately.

Do I need to install anything?

No apps, no code, no admin access. A public store URL is enough for the review.

Is my information secure?

Your responses are used only to prepare your review. We do not sell or share your information, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

What happens after the audit?

You keep the review either way. If working together makes sense we will say so; if it does not, we will tell you that too. There is no obligation.
