Findings (8)
Hair dye and color conditioners are high-frequency consumable products, yet subscriptions are disabled.
Implement a 'Subscribe & Save' program using a tool like Recharge or Skio to increase LTV and predictable MRR.
No Buy Now, Pay Later options (Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna) are available despite a price range reaching $150.
Integrate a BNPL provider to reduce friction for high-ticket items like bundles and apparel.
The data indicates no reviews are being surfaced, despite Yotpo being listed in the tech stack.
Audit Yotpo integration to ensure review widgets are firing on Product Detail Pages (PDPs) to build buyer confidence.
The store only ships to 2 countries and supports only 1 language despite being a 'global lifestyle brand'.
Enable Shopify Markets or use a localization tool to expand shipping zones and offer multi-currency/multi-language support.
The homepage or primary landing page is missing an H1 header tag.
Add a keyword-rich H1 tag (e.g., 'Manic Panic: Vegan & Cruelty-Free Hair Color') to improve search engine indexing.
36 tools are active, contributing to a PageLoad time of 3.5 seconds despite a very fast TTFB (47ms).
Conduct a tag audit and remove unused scripts (e.g., check if both 'google_analytics_ua' and 'ga4' are necessary or if old pixels remain).
An 82% discount rate suggests a high volume of products are permanently on sale.
Review pricing strategy to protect brand equity; transition from deep discounting to value-add bundles or loyalty-based rewards.
The store is on a 'standard' plan despite managing a complex catalog of 1,000 products and 1,000 collections.
Evaluate a move to Shopify Plus to access advanced automation (Flow, Launchpad) and lower transaction fees for high-volume catalogs.
