Listing Details
This is an opportunity to acquire a premium, Shopify-exclusive SEO and CRO agency serving direct-to-consumer brands across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Founded in 2017 and strategically repositioned in 2020 to focus solely on the Shopify ecosystem, the agency has built a defensible market position through deep platform expertise and a value-first growth strategy that generates qualified leads via a self-liquidating funnel, significantly offsetting lead-generation advertising costs.
The agency operates on a phased service model that begins with quick-win audits and implementations, establishing trust before transitioning clients into high-margin recurring retainers. This approach has resulted in an exceptional average client lifetime of 11 months and strong net profit margins. The business has delivered consistent annual growth exceeding 71% while maintaining operational excellence through a fully remote team of 21 specialized professionals.
The company is fully systemized and no longer founder-dependent, with the founder removed from day-to-day operations since February 2025. Growth, delivery, and client management are supported by proven marketing funnels, proprietary automation infrastructure, and an experienced management team prepared to continue operations seamlessly under new ownership.
Please note: this is a co-broker deal. Your unlock request will be forwarded to the broker on this deal and all materials have been prepared by the broker.
