Most Shopify stores have fixable conversion issues. We find them fast.
You have traffic. People land on the store. They are not buying, and you are not sure why. Our conversion audit goes page by page, ranks what to fix first, and checks whether the store is clear enough for AI shopping assistants to recommend.

We dig through live Shopify stores to find what's blocking sales. CRO here means conversion rate optimisation: finding what blocks sales, then fixing that first. We've delivered over 250 Shopify stores for clients in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada and the UK.
What this kind of work turns up
+11% orders · +9% revenue · 3 weeks
The Aviator Store
Fixes without a rebuild. Trust signals, clearer hierarchy, and speed work. Orders up 11% in three weeks.
Rebuild result · Over 3x conversion, 1.1% to about 4% in 90 days
Kakawa Chocolates
Theme rebuild (not an audit) — theme setup with custom Build-a-Box. Store untouched since 2011. Studio Elephant lifted Kakawa Chocolates' conversion from 1.1% to about 4% in 90 days (over 3x). The rebuild took 3 weeks.
What we review
The audit follows a shopper through the store, then ranks every finding by conversion impact. The same pass checks whether product data is clear enough for AI assistants to recommend you.
Store audit and friction analysis
Homepage, collections, product pages, cart, and checkout. Every point where a customer is likely to leave gets documented.
Copy and messaging
Headlines, product descriptions, and CTAs. Weak copy is one of the most common conversion leaks we find.
Trust signals and social proof
Reviews, guarantees, shipping, and returns. Whether they exist, and whether they sit where shoppers decide.
Checkout flow
Cart abandonment is rarely only about price. Form friction, unexpected costs, payment trust, and mobile checkout all get checked.
Mobile experience
Most Shopify traffic is mobile. We flag tap targets, cut-off content, and anything that makes buying harder on a phone.
AI shopping readiness
Product clarity, review quality, structured data, and consistency across channels. We check whether ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity could describe and recommend your products without guessing. Included in the $699 AUD audit, not a separate package.
Priority fix list
Findings ranked by estimated conversion impact, not by how neat they look on a roadmap. You know where to spend first.

- Priority fix list. Ranked by conversion impact so you know where to start.
- AI shopping readiness notes. What would block an AI assistant from recommending your products, and what to fix first.

$699 AUD
Fixed price. Audits are delivered in less than 10 business days. Works with any Shopify theme. Includes AI shopping readiness. If the audit finds nothing actionable to improve conversion, we refund the $699 AUD in full.
How the audit works
Step 1
Send your store URL
Use the contact form with your store URL and a sentence about what you are trying to fix. We confirm and start. No long briefing call required.
Step 2
We audit the store
First as a customer, then as a CRO specialist. The video walkthrough narrates what is hurting sales and what to change.
Step 3
You get the findings
Video, written document, and priority list. Written for a non-technical reader. No jargon for its own sake.
Step 4
Talk it through
A 30-minute call on the findings. If you want us to implement, you get a quote at that point. No lock-in.
What usually comes next
Most people ask us to implement the fixes. That work is quoted separately with a time estimate before it starts.
Sometimes the theme cannot carry the store. If that is the case, we'll say so and look at theme setup from $2,400 AUD or a custom build from $5,000 AUD.
You are not locked in. Take the findings and do it yourself, or hand them to another developer. The audit stands on its own.
Common questions
Can Studio Elephant implement the audit recommendations?
Yes. Most clients ask Studio Elephant to implement the fixes after the audit. Implementation is quoted separately, usually as hourly work with a time estimate before starting. Typical range after an audit is 5–15 hours. You can also take the findings to another developer or do the work yourself.
What if the audit finds nothing actionable?
If the audit finds nothing actionable to improve conversion, we refund the $699 AUD in full.
What if the audit findings are unclear?
We walk through the findings again on the call, or in a follow-up, until the priority list makes sense. The audit is meant to leave you with a plan you can act on, not a report you have to decode alone.
Does the audit include AI shopping readiness?
Yes. Every conversion audit includes an AI shopping readiness module: product clarity, review quality, structured data, and consistency across channels. Same $699 AUD price. No separate package. See the AI shopping readiness guide for the concrete checklist.
Does the audit work with any Shopify theme?
Yes. Dawn, premium themes, or custom themes. We review the customer experience and conversion path, not only the code.
My store is new and has little traffic. Is an audit worth it?
Probably not yet. You need enough sessions to see what is working. If traffic is still thin, put budget into getting more visitors first, then audit once you can measure change. We will say so upfront if an audit is the wrong next step.
What happens after the audit?
You get a 30-minute call to walk through the findings. Small fixes can be implemented as follow-on work. If the theme cannot carry the store, we will say so and quote theme setup from $2,400 AUD or a custom build from $5,000 AUD. No obligation either way.
Does Studio Elephant only work with Australian stores?
No. We work with Shopify stores in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada and the UK. Delivery is mostly async, so time zones rarely block the work.
Ready to find what is costing you sales?
Send your store URL and what you are trying to fix. We'll say whether a conversion audit makes sense. No pitch deck.
