Decision lens
Shopify PPC management vs. generic ecommerce agency vs. in-house operator.
| Axis | Stan Consulting Shopify PPC | Generic ecommerce agency | In-house operator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reports against | Bank-account revenue | Platform-reported ROAS | Mix, depending on operator |
| Brand exclusion | On by default on prospecting | Variable, often missing | Variable |
| Incrementality | Tested periodically | Rarely tested | Rarely tested |
| PDP awareness | Creative aligned to PDP promise | Generic catalog creative common | Often strong (closer to product) |
| Cost | From $3,000/month | $2K-$15K/month | Salary plus tools |
| Best when | Operator wants honest reporting and ongoing improvement | Generic management is acceptable | Operator has time + technical depth |
| Independence | No agency lock-in; account stays in operator name | Often operator-name account, but agency-owned access | Full operator control |
Why buyers trust the page
Clear scope before more spend.
Platform-reported ROAS counts branded clicks and existing-customer return visits. Stan Consulting reports against the bank account number, not the platform vanity.
Ad creative aligned to the PDP it lands on, not generic catalog spin. Hero image, headline promise, price band, and offer match across the click.
Prospecting campaigns exclude existing customers and branded-search audiences. The CAC the dashboard reports is honest because the audience definition is honest.
Questions before contact
What buyers usually need to know.
Who is Shopify Marketing and PPC for?
It is for Shopify brands that need paid traffic to connect cleanly to product pages and checkout. If there is no live offer, page, campaign, store, or decision yet, start with the contact form so the route can be scoped correctly.
What do we get?
You get campaign structure, product landing path, purchase reporting, budget control, plus the next step that should happen first.
How much does it cost?
From $3,000/month is the visible starting point or pricing band for this service. Variable work is priced after the asset, account, timeline, and owner involvement are clear.
How fast can this start?
Managed or sprint. Response comes through the quote request path after the context is submitted.
Do we need a call first?
Not as the first move. Submit the situation first so the conversation starts with the real page, campaign, store, or decision instead of a blank sales call.
What if we already have an agency or internal team?
That is common. The work can review the current setup, direct the internal team, or define what the outside vendor should fix first.
Do you take percentage of spend or flat fee?
Flat fee through $75K monthly spend. Above that, percentage of spend with a ceiling. Operator-aligned, not agency-aligned.
What about Meta and TikTok and Pinterest?
Meta is in the standard scope. TikTok and Pinterest scoped as add-on or in the Shopify Marketing System Build for omni-channel work. Each platform reads slightly differently; the framework adapts.
How do you handle creative?
Creative production via partner or in-house operator. Stan Consulting owns creative direction and PDP-alignment; production sits with the right resource for the brand.
Do you handle attribution disputes with the agency we are replacing?
Yes. We document the attribution differences, the brand exclusion gap, and the dedup logic. The operator owns the conversation; we provide the technical read.
What is the minimum spend?
$3,000 monthly Shopify management with $15K-$50K monthly ad spend. Below that, the Conversion Second Opinion ($999) is the right entry; ongoing management does not pay yet.
