Revenue Growth Agency

I often see premium/luxury e-commerce brands misplace their marketing budget by using out-of-date growth strategies which makes achieving their FY growth target even more difficult.

I care about taking growth-hungry DTC premium/luxury brands and building accurate growth strategies that provide the structure and direction to help them towards their growth targets.

This desire to drive growth is woven into each and every fabric of Revenue Growth Agency.

We use the art of Storytelling to engage NEW-to-brand customers for our clients.

Having a specific NEW-to-brand customer acquisition focus, separates high-growth brands from static ones.

Our Storytelling feeds into a proven revenue growth framework that has been used to accelerate brand growth for some of the UKs leading brands 🚀

By spending 15 minutes with you, I will tell you how you can simply and quickly create a meaningful brand story, AND how to use it to begin targeting NEW customers. 

💡90% of the luxury brands I speak to are missing this 1 crucial item from their strategy - holding them back from serious growth.

Feel free to book some time in my calendar below and leave the 90% behind you and experience rapid growth 🤔

➡️ Are you a leader in a DTC luxury e-commerce brand looking to scale primarily through NEW to brand customers?

⬇️ WHAT WE DO ⬇️

We help luxury DTC retail brands who are looking to scale rapidly inside 12 months, by targeting and engaging NEW customers.

When it comes to looking at ways to profitably grow revenue, most DTC luxury brands are making these mistakes:

► Still using 3rd party data tracking showing only 50% of their total traffic.
► Not putting in place a documented revenue growth framework.
► Only using last click ROAS as their decision-making north star.
► Not using an attribution model – crucial for scalable growth.
► Only producing ‘bottom funnel’ marketing activity.
► DON'T place emphasis on targeting NEW customers.
► DON'T include storytelling as part of their campaigns.

This means luxury brands get to a revenue growth ceiling and can’t get through it 🤷🏻‍♂️ AND they struggle to engage NEW audiences (crucial for growth).

Their growth strategy then becomes a vicious cycle of testing dozens of new campaigns/channels for them not to produce the required growth and it's back to the drawing board. These brands tend to get stuck at a revenue growth ceiling and can't get through.

Brands that see huge scalable growth are those that create a brand story aimed at NEW target audiences and deliver that via a proven repeatable growth framework. 

We help DTC e-commerce businesses move away from guesswork and towards next-level growth.

We can...

✔️Migrate you from relying on inaccurate 3rd party data tracking and move to use much more accurate 1st party data tracking.
✔️ Install a bespoke revenue growth framework that then becomes your marketing north star reference point.
✔️ Install an attribution model that allows us to look at marketing effectiveness through the lens of a blended ROAS figure vs the limited last-click ROAS.
✔️ Produce campaigns that create interest at the top of the funnel, use storytelling to build middle-funnel momentum that then turbo-charges the bottom-funnel acquisition activity.

You will be able to:

✅  Increase your profit and revenue by attracting NEW full price brand engaged customers with a high LTV.
✅  Have a more accurate picture of what your data is telling you and what to do with it.
✅ Better understand your customer acquisition costs in total by having a cross-channel understanding.
✅  Enjoy award-winning marketing campaigns that entertain and delight your audience.

I shouldn't be giving this away for free... 😳

I made a 96-point SEO checklist built specifically for ecommerce brands.

Why?

Because most SEO checklists are written by SEOs for other SEOs.

Not for store owners. 

Not for marketers.

Not for people who actually need SEO to drive revenue.

That’s where this one’s different:
✅ 96 points, you’ll understand
✅ With step-by-step guides to implement each one
✅ So you can stop Googling and start ranking

And it’s 100% free.
(Yes, really.)

SEO Consultant 🏏 Founder of Village Cricket Co. 🧑🏻‍💻 Helping freelancers find their best clients

Most freelancers are leaving money on the table.

And it's not because they don't know their worth.

It's because they're terrified to raise prices.

"When should I raise my prices?" is the wrong question.

The right question is: "Why haven't I already?"

Here's the dead simple system:

→ Pick your day rate (£300)
→ Fill your calendar completely
→ Hit capacity? Raise rates for new clients (£400)
→ Give existing clients 30 days notice

"But everyone will leave!"

No. They won't.

The math proves it:

4 clients at £300/day = £1,200/week

Raise to £400/day:
• 1 client leaves (good riddance)
• 3 clients stay = £1,200/week
• You work 1 day less

Land 1 new client and you're at £1,600/week.

More money. Less work.

The brutal truth?

The clients who leave over price were always going to be problems.

Price-sensitive clients question everything, pay late, and demand the most.

The ones who stay? They value quality and understand it costs money.

Stop undercharging out of fear.

Your bills don't care about your imposter syndrome.

When did you last increase your rates?

SEO Consultant for ambitious ecommerce brands 🏏 Founder of Village Cricket Co. 🧑🏻‍💻 Helping freelancers find their best clients

Shopify is incredible for SEO (except for this ONE thing)

Google struggles to find your product pages.
 
And it's as simple as this:

<a href="{{ product.url | within: collection}}">

Updated to

<a href="{{ product.url }}">

I still find myself recommending this fix on a weekly basis.

Your freelancer just spent 2 hours chasing an overdue invoice.

That's 2 hours they didn't spend on your project.

I've watched this pattern destroy good working relationships.

When payments are prompt? I'm 100% focused on delivering exceptional work.

When I'm chasing payments? Part of my brain is always elsewhere. Checking bank accounts. Following up on emails. Calculating which bills I can delay.

You're not getting the freelancer you hired.

The hidden cost of late payment:

→ Distracted freelancers who can't give you full attention
→ Rush jobs because they need quick income from other clients
→ Resentment that shows up in work quality
→ Good freelancers who eventually walk away

The clients who pay straight away get something different.

They get freelancers who invest in premium tools. 
Who turn down rushed projects to focus on theirs. 
Who go the extra mile because they're not worried about survival.

I've seen the same freelancer deliver mediocre work for slow-paying clients and exceptional work for prompt payers. 

Same person. 

Different mental state.

Late payment isn't just a cash flow problem for freelancers.

It's a productivity killer for your business.

What could your freelancers accomplish if 100% of their mental energy was focused on your success instead of chasing what they're owed?

Want to annoy a freelancer?

These 10 sentences will do the trick:

 1. We'll pay you in exposure.
 2. We need this done by tomorrow.
 3. Can you do this as a quick favour?
 4. This should only take an hour, right?
 5. Net 90 is our standard payment term.
 6. We found someone cheaper on Fiverr.
 7. AI can probably do this for free anyway.
 8. Can you start before we sign the contract?
 9. Just a few more revisions (for the 10th time).
10. Let's kick this off now (after 4 months of ghosting)

How to optimise category pages and grow your ecommerce sales (6 tips) 

If your eCommerce sales are stalling

And you're struggling to increase conversions

Your category pages might be the problem. 

Most brands ignore them. But here's the truth:

People search for categories, not specific products (unless you're selling Nike Dunks).

Here's how to optimise eCommerce category pages: 

1. Target an achievable keyword
- Don't target 'necklaces' (unless you're Tiffany & Co.) 
- Target something specific to your USP (like 'waterproof necklaces'

2. Clean above the product grid section
- Category name = target keyword
- Short description ~50-70 words
- Internal links to subcategories

3. Useful filters & sorting
- Give users the ability to filter for their needs
- Price, colour, size, whatever is relevant
- Block these from being crawled

4. Consistent imagery
- Make it a pleasant experience for the user
- Make it easy for them to tell the difference between products

5. Helpful content below the product grid
- Extra ~200 words of context for the user
- 3-5 useful FAQs that actually answer real questions
- Feature warranty details if relevant
- Feature social proof from reviews
- More internal links to complementary or sub-categories

6. Implement structured data
- ItemList, CollectionPage
- Validate across all pages

Follow these 6 tips and your ecommerce store will see a significant boost in organic traffic.

The best feeling as a consultant?

Getting an email like the one I received last week.

Someone who just started as Head of Growth at a new company. First week on the job. And I'm one of the first people they reach out to for SEO strategy and support.

That's the validation right there.

When someone changes roles, they could work with anyone. They have a fresh budget, new priorities, a clean slate.

But they think of you first.

It happens when you focus on delivering brilliant work instead of chasing the next shiny thing. The results speak for themselves. Trust travels with people.

When someone puts their reputation on the line by recommending you in their new role, that's the real measure of what you've built.

Still gives me a buzz every time.

6 years ago, I bid farewell to corporate life.

I decided to go all-in on freelancing.

What I'd miss:

→ The steady monthly salary hitting my account
→ Company pension contributions and benefits
→ Paid holiday and sick leave without question
→ Clear career ladder with predictable promotions

What I'd get instead:

→ Working from anywhere with decent WiFi
→ Choosing exactly which clients I work with
→ Setting my schedule around my life, not the other way around
→ Never sitting through another "quick sync" that could've been an email

The hardest part wasn't the financial uncertainty.

It was realising how much of my identity was tied to corporate titles and external validation.

Six years later, I've learned that security isn't about a steady paycheck.

It's about betting on yourself.

Your skills. Your judgment. Your ability to solve problems people actually care about.

The corporate ladder promised safety.

But it was just another form of risk - the risk of never discovering what you're truly capable of when nobody else is setting the rules.

If you're thinking about making the jump, ask yourself this:

What would you regret more - trying and failing, or never trying at all?

Life's too short to live someone else's version of success.

Making a proper coffee at 10:30am.

Not the instant crap from the office kitchen.

A real one.

Good beans. Proper milk. Take your time with it.

Mid-morning. In your pants if you fancy it.

These are the simple joys of freelancing nobody warns you about.

And honestly? They matter more than you'd think.

I made £500K+ from freelancing in the last 4 years without working all the time.

Here's everything I learned.

Solo operation. No courses, no agencies.

Just me, a laptop, and clients who needed problems solved.

But here's what nobody mentions about that success:

It took me 4 years of freelancing to hit my first £100K year.

And during those years? I travelled regularly, renovated a house, and had two kids.

This wasn't about working all the time. It was about working differently.

The only real growth hack: Narrow your focus and stick around

Most freelancers jump between niches chasing quick wins. I picked one thing and became known for it.

Reputation spreads exponentially when people know exactly what you do.

Here's the simple math that drives everything:

(Work quality + service quality) × marketing ability = freelance potential

Do a good job. Do a good job. Do a good job. Do a good job. Do a good job.

Everything else is noise if you can't deliver consistently.

But delivery alone isn't enough. You need the mindset shift that separates successful freelancers from everyone else:

From "I need the client" to "The client needs me"

This changes everything.

When you build authority, you gain leverage. Leverage creates optionality. Optionality enables impartiality.

You stop being desperate. You start being selective.

The pricing follows naturally:

Raise your rates regularly. Experiment constantly. Pricing is 50% confidence, 50% credibility.

The confidence comes from knowing your worth. The credibility comes from proving it repeatedly.

You'll want more money until you want more time. Finding "enough" is the real skill.

When you're charging what you're worth, 3-4 hours of focused work is plenty.

Exercise is everything. Physical and mental separation between work and life is non-negotiable.

The business fundamentals matter:

Freelancing means becoming a businessperson first, specialist second. Make marketing part of your job, not an afterthought.

Don't sell all your best time to clients. Work hard until you can work smart too.

The path isn't overnight success stories or secret frameworks.

It's showing up consistently, delivering quality, and gradually building authority in your corner of the market.

Almost £200k in the last 12 months.

All while having a life outside of work.

Stop chasing shiny tactics. Start building something sustainable.

What's your one thing going to be?

You know that feeling when a client email lands in your inbox and your stomach drops?

I had a client who'd email me at 9pm demanding to know why we weren't ranking #1 after two weeks. They'd question every keyword I recommended, insist on checking rankings daily, and panic when competitors ran paid ads.

Every call left me exhausted. Every discussion felt like a battle.

Then I had another client who said "you're the expert, show me what works" and actually implemented my technical recommendations within the week.

Same SEO strategies. Same expertise. Completely different energy.

[no guesses who got the better results]

That's when it hit me.

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. For freelancers, those people aren't just friends - they're clients too.

Bad clients don't just hurt your revenue. They make you second-guess solid strategies, rush work that needs time, and drain the confidence that makes you good at what you do.

Great clients make you better. They push you to think bigger, trust your instincts, and deliver work you're genuinely proud of.

The green flags I look for now:

→ They implement recommendations instead of debating them endlessly  
→ They trust your expertise without micromanaging every decision
→ They celebrate ranking wins and understand SEO takes time
→ They respond to emails and requests quickly
→ They pay invoices on time without chasing
→ They refer other great clients

You don't have to fire everyone tomorrow.

Just quietly move towards the green flags.

When a great client refers someone, prioritise that conversation. When choosing between projects, pick the one that energises you.

Over time, your entire client base transforms. Your energy changes. Your work gets better.

What's one green flag you wish all your clients had?

I’ve not worked a Friday in 2 years. 😳

Not because I’m lazy (well, maybe a little).

Not because I’ve cracked the 4-hour work week.

But because I freelance, and I’ve made it a rule.

Fridays are for my kids.

Swimming, zoo trips, park outings, wandering around, little adventures.

Whatever they feel like doing? That’s the agenda.

Yeah, I sometimes work evenings

But it’s usually on stuff I enjoy.

That’s the beauty of freelancing,

You’re in control of your time.

You can choose how your weeks look...

…not just how your work gets done.

If you’ve been thinking about freelancing, this is your sign to just do it.

The flexibility is not only good for your schedule.

It’s good for your life.

£18.3 trillion.

That's the global disposable income controlled by people with disabilities.

Yet 54% of assistive technology users say ecommerce companies don't care about earning their business.

Let that sink in for a second.

With the holiday season upon us, we've got an underserved market worth trillions, who are actively telling us we're excluding them, and most retailers are... doing nothing about it.

This isn't charity. This is business.

Some quick maths on what you're potentially missing during your biggest trading period:
• 1.3 billion people globally have a disability affecting web use
• 26% of the US population alone (that's 1 in 4 people)
• Average retail site has ~330 accessibility issues per page
• 43% have abandoned purchases due to accessibility problems
• 81% won't return after hitting a barrier

Your competitors are probably ignoring this too. Which means there's a genuine first-mover advantage for retailers who get this right before the holiday rush.

Plus, here's the bit everyone forgets: accessible design benefits everyone, especially during peak shopping season. 

• Captions help people shopping in busy environments. 
• Clear navigation helps stressed holiday shoppers in a rush. 
• High contrast helps people browsing on their phones outdoors.

You're not building a separate experience for a niche audience. You're building a better experience for all your holiday customers.

And you're tapping into a market opportunity most of your competitors haven't even noticed yet.

5 SEO quick wins you can knock out on your lunch break: 👇

I’ve used all of these in the last year.
Each one moved the needle.

1. Submit your sitemap to GSC

Sounds obvious…
..but I once onboarded a client doing 7 figures who hadn’t done it.
We fixed it in 2 minutes. Traffic started rising within a week.

👉 Go to GSC → select your domain → click “Sitemaps” → submit yourdomain. com/sitemap . xml

2. Remove deadweight pages

One ecommerce client had over 2000 collection pages.
Only 250 had products…
Additionally they had 1000+ thin blogs driving zero traffic.. 

It was a mess. We cleaned it up.
Result? +50K visits in 3 months.

👉 Use Screaming Frog to find: 

• Empty collections
• Blog posts with 0 visits in 6+ months
Then: noindex, redirect, or delete.

3. Fix Shopify’s product URL structure

Shopify duplicates product URLs across collections by default.
It bloats your site and splits link equity.

👉 Start in your Shopify dashboard by going to:

Online Store > Themes > Customize > Theme Actions > Edit Code > Snippets > product-grid-item.liquid:

→ Find “within:collection”
→ Delete it.
→ Hit Save and all your links should be fixed.

4. Build a discount code page 

Voucher sites are eating traffic that should be yours.
A simple landing page with a first-time offer can reclaim it.. and convert it.

👉 Create a `/discount` page. Add:
• Intro offer (e.g. 10% off)
• Sign-up form
• Why buy from you
• Trust signals
Google will index it - and people WILL search for it.

5. Fix your broken links

One UK brand I looked at had 100+ broken backlinks.
From major publications.
That’s authority just… wasted.

👉 Use Ahrefs or GSC’s “Links” report
→ Filter for 404s
→ Redirect those URLs to relevant live pages
→ Start with the ones from high-authority sources.

These fixes aren’t sexy. But they work.

Tweak them today, thank yourself next quarter.

31 steps to scaling SEO for your ecommerce brand

I've scaled a brand from £0 to £10M/year with SEO.
Just last month, a client crossed £2M in organic revenue alone

If I had to start from scratch, here’s EXACTLY how I’d build an SEO strategy that drives real revenue:

Step 1: Find high-intent keywords that actually drive sales
1. Research competitors → What keywords are making them money?
2. Use Ahrefs/Semrush “Keyword Gaps” → Find buyer-intent keywords they missed
3. Skip broad keywords → Ranking for “dining room ideas” won’t convert
4. Instead, go after "revenue-driving searches" → “farmhouse dining tables”
5. Look at Google’s People Also Ask & Autocomplete → See what real customers ask
6. Find quick-win branded search queries → “[brand] reviews”

Step 2: Optimise product & category pages for search (and conversions)
1. Have a focus keyword → Add it to the key areas (page title, H1, description)
2. Stop using manufacturer descriptions → Google hates duplicate content
3. Add structured data (schema markup) → Helps rank in rich snippets
4. Optimise images → Compress + add keyword-rich alt text
5. Link from high-ranking blog posts → Pass authority to revenue-driving pages
6. Use AI-powered heatmaps (like Hotjar) → Find where users drop off & fix weak points
7. Add scarcity & urgency signals → "Only 3 left in stock" boosts conversion rates
8. Test discount code pop-ups → Exit-intent pop-ups can recover up to 15% of lost sales

Step 3: Create content that ranks & converts
1. Find 20-50 high-intent KWs → Comparisons, alternatives, buying guides
2. Study the top 3 ranking pages → Reverse-engineer what’s working
3. Make your content better → More in-depth, clearer, faster, more actionable
4. Use FAQs & structured data → Helps grab featured snippets
5. Internally link blog posts → Guide traffic to product & category pages

Step 4: Fix technical SEO issues that silently kill rankings
1. Find crawl errors & broken links → Use Google Search Console & Screaming Frog
2. Fix slow-loading pages → 1-second delay = 7% drop in conversions
3. Ensure mobile-friendliness → 70%+ of e-commerce traffic is mobile
4. Eliminate duplicate content issues → Canonical tags prevent SEO cannibalisation
5. Use lazy loading for images → Improves page speed without killing UX
6. Remove unnecessary Shopify apps → Each extra script slows your site
7. Fix Shopify’s product URL issue → biggest and quickest win

Step 5: Build links that actually move the needle
1. Supplier & manufacturer links → Ask brands you work with to link back
2. Digital PR → Get featured in niche publications
3. Get featured in gift guides → easiest win to get links to products
4. Leverage your images → add your images to distribution sites (like Unsplash)
5. Stop buying spammy guest posts → 99% of them are useless

I charge thousands to help ecommerce brands implement link building systems.

And I'm giving away my top 5 tactics for FREE

That's the SOPs, templates, trackers and real life examples - delivered right to your inbox.

Here’s the deal:

Link building is still one of the most important parts of your SEO strategy (even in the magical AI world).

Why?

Because by having the best links in place, you can: 

→ Use publications logos to boost social proof
→ Accelerate the "trust building" process
→ Get ahead of all of your competitors

Yet, most ecommerce brands don't have scalable systems.

(They're probably stuck buying the same terrible guest posts like their competitors.)

NOT ANYMORE.

So I created a free mini-course showing you how to create your own link building systems to scale your SEO.

It includes:
→ How to use your products for links
→ How to use your expertise for links
→ How to use your images for links
→ How to use the news for links
→ How to use your brand for links

There’s a better way to handle discount code hunters.

Start here.
 
People will inevitably search for discount codes for your brand. 
 
"[brand] discount code" 
"[brand] coupon code" 
"[brand] promo code" 
 
It's happening whether you like it or not. 
 
Google knows it - start searching any brand and the autocomplete will include it. 
 
You can choose to own this conversation or run away from it. 
 
Whether you offer discount codes or not, this is your traffic. Claim it! 
 
What you should do... 
 
→ Create a dedicated page on your site 
→ URL is /discount-code 
→ Page title is [Brand] Discount Code 
→ Short description mentioning discount codes (if you offer them, if you don't etc) 
→ Embed a sign-up form to collect emails 
→ If you offer an intro discount, use this offer 
→ Highlight your USPs for extra incentive 
 
These pages can easily get thousands of visitors a month and convert to subscribers as much as 50% of the time. 
 
I've seen attributed revenue of people landing on these pages be over £250,000 per year! On first purchase alone.
