Decision scorecard | Updated July 5, 2026
Shopify ads readiness scorecard
Score whether the store is ready for Google, Meta, product-page, cart, checkout, tracking, and repeat-purchase work.
01Score the current buyer path.
02Name the weak layer.
03choose the next build.
Product promise
The product page makes the value, use case, and buying reason clear.
Cart confidence
Shipping, returns, payment, and trust cues reduce checkout hesitation.
Action
The call, form, cart, quote request, booking, or consult path is obvious.
Tracking
The next action can be measured without guessing.
Follow-up
The business knows what happens after the form, call, order, or lead.
How to use the score
Use the result to choose the next build, not to collect a vanity grade.

|---|---|---|
| 80-100 | The buyer path can usually be improved or scaled with tighter measurement. | Shopify ecommerce marketing |
| 50-79 | The buyer path has one or two weak layers that should be fixed before more budget. | Shopify Google and Meta ads readiness checklist |
| 0-49 | The buyer path needs clearer proof, action, tracking, or follow-up before scale. | Have us run it |
