Maybe this is where you are right now

The business is working. You just know the website should be contributing more.

You have good products. Customers come back. You may have built a strong reputation, secured stockists, grown a loyal social following or created real demand for what you sell.

The business itself is not the problem.

But when you look at the website, there is a nagging feeling that it should be doing more.

Online sales are not where you want them to be. Google feels like a missed opportunity. You know there are things that could be improved, but the list is endless and every expert seems to recommend something different.

SEO. Email. CRO. Better product pages. More blogs. Bundles. Google Shopping. AI search. A redesign. More social content.

You could spend the next six months doing all of it and still have no idea whether you fixed the thing that was actually holding sales back.

“We get plenty of engagement. Why does so little of it turn into website sales?”

The audience exists, but the journey from interest to purchase is not as strong as it could be.

“I know the website needs work. I just don't know what to fix first.”

Everything feels important, which makes it hard to confidently prioritise anything.

“We've tried bits of SEO, email and content, but nothing feels joined up.”

You have marketing activity, but not one clear view of how it all supports the customer journey.

“I cannot keep becoming the expert in every part of digital marketing.”

You are trying to run and grow the business, not build yourself a second career in SEO and conversion optimisation.

Where growth starts to stall

More marketing will not help if the website is losing momentum along the customer journey.

If customers cannot find the right product, do not understand why it is worth buying, hesitate over delivery, miss important reassurance or disappear after their first order, sending more people to the website simply sends more people into the same gaps.

Before you add more marketing activity, it makes sense to find out where the journey is losing momentum.

Imagine if...

You stopped wondering what the website needed and knew exactly where to focus.

01

Instead of a never-ending list...

You had a short, prioritised roadmap showing what deserves attention now, next and later.

02

Instead of guessing...

You understood where customers were dropping out of the journey and why those gaps mattered commercially.

03

Instead of chasing every trend...

You could decide whether SEO, conversion, content, retention or something else genuinely deserved your budget.

04

Instead of feeling behind...

You had confidence that the next work being done on your website was there for a reason.

Leak Growth Plan

Meet the Revenue Leak Growth Plan

A strategic outside view of what is helping growth, what is holding it back and what should happen next.

Revenue Leak Growth Plan looks at your website through the full customer journey, not through one marketing channel at a time.

I look for the gaps between attracting attention and making a sale, then turn what I find into a practical order of priority based on your business goals.

Where revenue can leak

A customer has to make it through the whole journey.

A strong website helps the right person discover you, believe you, understand the offer, buy confidently and have a reason to come back.

01

Find

Can people discover your products when they are already searching for what you sell?

Leak: demand exists, but competitors get discovered first.

02

Trust

Does the website quickly give customers confidence in the brand, product and purchase?

Leak: visitors arrive but do not feel ready to buy.

03

Understand

Can customers easily answer the questions standing between interest and a decision?

Leak: good products lose sales because the value is not clear enough.

04

Buy

Is the path to purchase easy, reassuring and free from avoidable friction?

Leak: buying intent disappears before checkout.

05

Return

Does the website and wider customer journey encourage a second, third and fourth purchase?

Leak: you keep paying to win customers you could have retained.

What I look at

Not just what is “wrong” with the website. What is getting in the way of growth.

Your recommendations may span several areas because customers do not experience your SEO, content, product pages and checkout as separate departments.

Search visibility

Technical SEO, on-page opportunities, search demand, content gaps and opportunities to become more discoverable through traditional and AI-powered search.

Customer journey

Navigation, product discovery, information hierarchy, trust signals, calls to action and places customers may become confused or hesitate.

Product & conversion experience

Product pages, objection handling, delivery information, cross-sells, bundles, average-order-value opportunities and buying friction.

Content & education

Questions, product-use topics and customer concerns that could become useful permanent website content rather than disappearing in social feeds.

Retention & repeat purchase

Email capture, post-purchase journeys and opportunities to make more of the customers you have already worked hard to acquire.

Commercial priorities

Every recommendation is considered against where the business wants to go, not simply because a marketing checklist says you should do it.

You leave knowing what to do first, what can wait and why.

Your biggest revenue leaks
Your strongest growth opportunities
A prioritised route forward
Recommendations linked to business goals
Actions your own team can take
Areas where specialist support may help

This is not another giant audit

You do not need a longer list. You need a clearer order of priority.

A traditional audit can leave you with...

  • A long technical checklist.
  • Recommendations with no business context.
  • Several “urgent” priorities competing with each other.
  • More work for you to interpret and coordinate.
  • The same question you started with: what do I actually do first?

Revenue Leak Growth Plan gives you...

  • A view across the full customer journey.
  • Commercial context behind every major recommendation.
  • A clear order of priority.
  • Opportunities across visibility, conversion and retention.
  • Confidence in where your next effort should go.

Why the wider view matters

Sometimes the opportunity is sitting in work you have already done.

“What I love about what you’ve done for me is everything, but particularly the way Google AI brings up links to the blogs on our website as evidence for their answer to kefir-related questions. That’s unreal like.”
Kerry Kefir

A useful blog is not just “content”. It can become an asset that supports search visibility, answers customer questions, strengthens trust and keeps helping people discover the business long after it is published.

Is this you?

The Growth Plan is for businesses with something real to build on.

This is likely a good fit if...

  • You already have an established food, drink or wellness business.
  • Your products sell, but digital is not contributing as much as you believe it could.
  • You have an existing website or online store.
  • You have several possible priorities and need help deciding what matters most.
  • You want strategy connected to actual business outcomes.
  • You are ready to make improvements once you know where to focus.

It may not be the right next step if...

  • Your business is still at idea or pre-launch stage.
  • You only want social media management or paid advertising.
  • You already know exactly what needs to be done and only need production support.
  • You are looking for a generic automated website report.

Questions you might be asking

Before you enquire.

Is this just an SEO audit?
No. SEO is one part of the picture. The Growth Plan looks across discoverability, website experience, product messaging, conversion opportunities, content and retention so recommendations make sense together.
Do I need to be on Shopify?
No. The Growth Plan is about understanding where the opportunities and barriers are first. Platform recommendations should come after strategy, not before it.
Will you implement everything afterwards?
Not automatically. The plan should make clear what can be handled internally, what could be completed as a focused project and where ongoing specialist support may make sense.
What if the main recommendation is that I need a new website?
If the existing website can be improved without rebuilding it, I will say so. If the platform or structure is genuinely limiting growth, the plan will explain why a rebuild may deserve consideration.
