Ecommerce FAQs
What are the benefits of hiring an ecommerce agency?
An ecommerce agency brings specialised expertise in optimising ads and conversions, which increases ROI and sales. Agencies also provide industry benchmarks and early access to platform betas that are hard to track in-house, plus a dedicated point of contact on major ad platforms.
How much should I budget for e-commerce marketing?
Budgets vary by goal, industry, competition and market. UK, US and Spanish ecommerce brands often need different budget approaches entirely. A good agency sets your budget against your specific objectives rather than a blanket percentage of revenue.
How long does it take to see results from eccommerce campaigns?
Early signals usually appear within weeks. The compounding growth from testing, optimisation and audience refinement builds over months, not weeks.
What platforms should an ecommerce agency support?
Top agencies manage campaigns across Google Ads, Facebook Ads and TikTok Ads, and understand the mechanics of Shopify, Magento and WooCommerce stores.
The strongest agencies also coordinate with CRO, creative and feed optimisation specialists rather than treating each as a standalone service.
How do I choose the right ecommerce agency?
Weigh proven results, platform specialisation and reporting transparency against your specific business goals, not just the size of the agency's client list.
What should I consider as a red flag in an ecommerce agency?
Be cautious of agencies that restrict access to your own ad accounts and raw data, push for higher spend without a strategy to justify it, or promise results without showing how they'll get there. An agency focused only on brand or retargeting campaigns, with no growth strategy attached, will stunt expansion rather than drive it.
