Expert-Vetted Top 1% Upwork consultant | Nearly $3M billed since 2021 | 100% Job Success I find the revenue already sitting inside your store. I spent 25+ years founding, scaling, and exiting my own ecommerce companies across supplements, subscription, manufacturing, and consumer products. I have lived the operator side of growth: cash flow, CAC pressure, conversion problems, failed launches, retention leaks, agency confusion, inventory risk, and the constant question every founder eventually has to answer: Where is the money leaking? That is the problem I help solve. Over the last two years, I have been building RavenTech, my private AI-assisted growth analysis system. It helps me review Shopify, Klaviyo, GA4, Meta, and customer data faster and more thoroughly than a normal audit process. It looks for the things most teams miss: failed payments, weak lifecycle flows, cohort decay, discount stacking, checkout friction, poor offer sequencing, low repeat purchase, and revenue hiding inside the existing customer base. It is the tool I wish I had when I was running my own brands. Back then, I found leaks the hard way: by losing the money first. The division of labor matters. The AI helps dig through the data. I decide what matters. That is where 25 years of founder/operator pattern recognition comes in. I am not handing you generic AI output or a 40-page deck of best practices. I am looking at your business like someone who has sat in the founder seat with his own money on the line. What you get is a clear read on where revenue is being lost, what it is likely costing you, and what I would fix first. 🤓 Background highlights: • Founded and scaled 6 companies across ecommerce, manufacturing, nutraceuticals, subscription, and consumer products • $587M+ in gross retail sales across founder-led DTC brands • Built subscribe-and-save programs with 250k+ monthly members, plus a 4,000-member monthly box • Exits include MySupplementStore, GeekBox, NRGX Labs, and KEEG Ocean Plastics, which was acquired by University of California, Irvine • Shopify Plus brands with sustained 4-6% conversion rates • Inc. 5000, #40 fastest-growing retail company in the U.S. • Inc. Magazine “30 Top CEOs Under 30” • Expert-Vetted Top 1% on Upwork • Nearly $3M billed since 2021 • 100% Job Success Most engagements fall into one of three categories: 👉 GROWTH BLUEPRINT My flagship engagement. I review your current growth system and deliver a complete operator-level blueprint: performance snapshot, ranked revenue-leak map, acquisition and lifecycle fixes, retention/subscription opportunities, CRO priorities, and a practical 90-day execution plan. This is best for brands that know there is more revenue in the business but need a sharper read on where it is sitting and what to fix first. 👉 CONVERSION & RETENTION SPRINT A focused engagement around one constraint: funnel efficiency, lifecycle revenue, repeat purchase, email/SMS performance, offer clarity, checkout friction, or revenue per visitor. This is best when the problem is already visible and you want a senior operator to help diagnose and prioritize the fix. 👉 FOUNDER GROWTH ADVISORY + MONITORING Ongoing advisory for founders who want a senior growth operator watching the business week over week. My RavenTech system surfaces anomalies, leaks, and opportunities. I review the findings and help turn them into practical decisions before they cost you a quarter. Most businesses do not need more complexity or another dashboard. They need an accurate read on where revenue is being lost, a short list of what to fix first, and someone who has actually done it before. That is where I come in.

There’s usually more revenue sitting in your current traffic than most sites realise. I help eCommerce and SaaS brands unlock that by improving how their site converts. I focus on finding where users hesitate, what’s unclear, and what’s stopping them from buying. Then fix those points through structured changes and testing. Why clients hire me • 15+ years in CRO and conversion strategy • Worked with 300+ brands across eCommerce, SaaS and lead gen • Specialist in high-impact changes, not endless testing • Hotjar Premier Partner | Convert Certified | CrazyEgg Partner • Can work solo or bring in UX, dev and copy support when needed Recent results • 2,587% uplift on a Shopify landing page (0.08% → 2.15%) • 45% increase in demo bookings in 2 weeks (SaaS) • 45% conversion uplift from PDP + checkout optimisation • 41% increase in order profitability via pricing strategy • 56% uplift in site search conversions (Shopify) • 1,316% increase in win-back revenue (email funnel) All driven by structured testing and clear prioritisation. What I actually fix • Pages that don’t clearly sell the product • Weak positioning and unclear value • Missing trust and credibility • Funnel drop-offs and friction • Poor offer structure and AOV gaps • Analytics that don’t tell the real story How I work Identify where revenue is being lost Prioritise the highest-impact opportunities Implement or guide changes Test, measure, and iterate No fluff. No “test everything” approach. Just focused improvements that move revenue. Services • CRO audits (UX, funnel, messaging) • Ongoing optimisation / testing programmes • Landing page and PDP optimisation • Checkout and AOV strategy • GA4 and tracking validation • Experiment planning and execution If you’re already investing in traffic and want to get more from it, I’ll show you where the biggest opportunities are. Send me your site and I’ll take a look.

CONVERSION RATE OPTIMIZERS FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is conversion rate optimization (CRO)?

Conversion rate optimization is a systematic approach to increasing the conversion rate of a website or marketing campaign. From micro-conversions, such as subscribing to an email list, to macro-conversions, such as purchasing a product from your online store, conversion rate optimization professionals are here to help.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in conversion rate optimization contractors:

  • CRO/SEO/SEM strategy
  • CRO tools such as Google Analytics
  • On-site optimization
  • PPC (pay-per-click) advertising
  • Experience with sales funnels, email marketing, and lead generation

Why hire conversion rate optimization specialists?

The trick to finding top conversion rate optimizers is to identify your needs. Do you need someone who can perform qualitative and quantitative research across your entire sales funnel with a specific analytics tool such as Kissmetrics? Will they also need copywriting skills to directly improve the conversion rate of your landing pages and email autoresponders? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a conversion rate optimizer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced conversion rate optimization consultant may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their conversion rate optimization services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
