Ecommerce agency FAQs
Practical answers about Amazon management, Shopify growth, marketplace expansion, PPC and working with a hands-on UK ecommerce partner.
What does True Ecommerce do?
We work as an ecommerce operating partner for growing brands. Our support can cover Amazon and marketplace management, Shopify and website growth, paid advertising, product content, analytics, inventory planning, international expansion and practical ecommerce strategy.
Which ecommerce platforms and marketplaces do you support?
Our experience includes Amazon, eBay, Shopify, OnBuy, Wayfair, ManoMano, Bol.com and Cdiscount, alongside Google Ads, email marketing and affiliate channels. We recommend the channels that fit the brand rather than pushing every business onto every marketplace.
Can you help us choose which online marketplace to launch on next?
Yes. We assess audience and product fit, competition, marketplace fees, fulfilment requirements, localisation needs and the workload for your team before recommending a channel. If the opportunity is credible, our marketplace management service can also support account preparation, catalogue setup, listing creation and a controlled launch.
Can you manage our Amazon account for us?
Yes. We can manage day-to-day Amazon activity including listings, keyword research, A+ Content, Brand Stores, advertising, promotions, account health, reporting and stock planning. The exact scope is agreed around your team, catalogue and commercial priorities.
Can you help with suppressed Amazon listings and account health issues?
Yes. Our Amazon account management service can review account health, suppressed listings, compliance issues and Buy Box visibility, then prioritise the actions needed to keep the channel trading. We investigate the underlying issue, support catalogue or listing corrections and coordinate the response, while recognising that final decisions remain with Amazon.
Do you work with Shopify websites as well as marketplaces?
Yes. We help brands improve their direct-to-consumer channel through Shopify strategy, product and landing-page improvements, conversion optimisation, analytics, paid acquisition, email journeys and commercial reporting.
Can you build a new Shopify store or improve an existing one?
Both. We design and build custom Shopify and headless storefronts, and improve existing ecommerce websites through UX, site speed, product and landing-page changes, analytics and conversion optimisation. We agree the scope around the website's current condition and the brand's commercial priorities.
Do you offer ecommerce consultancy or hands-on account management?
We offer both. Some brands need focused ecommerce consultancy, audits and a prioritised growth plan. Others need a hands-on ecommerce agency to manage Amazon, Shopify, marketplaces, advertising and day-to-day commercial activity. We shape the engagement around the capability already inside your business.
Can an ecommerce consultant diagnose why online sales have stalled?
Yes. Our ecommerce consultancy reviews channel data, website conversion, advertising, catalogue, stock and team ownership to identify the constraints behind stalled online sales. We then rank recommendations by commercial impact, confidence, effort and dependencies, and can either support your team or take responsibility for agreed workstreams.
How should we choose an ecommerce agency or consultant in the UK?
Start by defining the main problem you need the ecommerce agency or consultant to solve. Ask who will do the day-to-day work, what they will own and how reporting will connect results to actions. Look for relevant case studies and an understanding of how advertising, margin, conversion, inventory and operations affect one another, while avoiding partners that guarantee outcomes.
Can one ecommerce partner manage Amazon, Shopify and other marketplaces?
Yes. True Ecommerce can coordinate Amazon, Shopify and additional marketplaces as one commercial operation. That means aligning product content, pricing, promotions, advertising, reporting and stock decisions while adapting execution to the needs of each channel.
Do you manage Amazon PPC and Google Ads?
Yes. We manage Amazon PPC and Google Ads with a focus on profitable sales rather than traffic alone. Work can include campaign structure, keyword and search-term analysis, bids, budgets, placements, shopping feeds, remarketing, testing and clear commercial reporting.
Do you offer ecommerce SEO and Google Shopping management?
Yes. We connect technical ecommerce SEO, keyword and page mapping, useful content, Merchant Center product feeds and Google Shopping management. Using organic and paid search data together helps identify search-query, feed and landing-page gaps, while reporting links visibility and advertising decisions to commercial performance.
Can you improve our marketplace listings and conversion rate?
Yes. We review keyword coverage, titles, product copy, imagery requirements, A+ Content, storefronts, pricing, reviews and the wider buying journey. We then prioritise the listing and conversion improvements most likely to remove friction and increase profitable sales.
Can you help us expand into European markets?
Yes. We support brands entering and growing across European marketplaces, including channel selection, listings, localisation, advertising, promotions, stock coordination and cross-border commercial planning. We will first assess whether the opportunity and operating model are right for your business.
Do you only work with large established brands?
No. We work best with ambitious product businesses that have a credible offer and are ready to improve how ecommerce is run. That can include an established brand needing stronger systems or a smaller business preparing for its next stage of growth.
What kind of results have you delivered?
Our case studies include multi-million-pound UK ecommerce operations, multi-million-euro European marketplace growth and brands achieving substantial year-on-year expansion. Results vary by brand, product, market, stock position and investment, so we agree realistic measures of success for each engagement.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
The timescale depends on the starting point and the work required. Advertising and listing improvements can create early signals, while organic ranking, conversion, international expansion and operational change usually build over a longer period. We set priorities and reporting milestones at the outset.
How do your fees work?
Fees are based on the scope, channels and level of hands-on support required. After an initial conversation, we recommend a focused engagement and provide a clear proposal before any work begins.
Can you work alongside our existing team or agencies?
Yes. We can lead the ecommerce function, take ownership of selected channels or work alongside internal teams and specialist partners. Responsibilities, access and reporting are made clear so work is coordinated rather than duplicated.
How do you report on ecommerce performance?
We focus reporting on commercial decisions, not vanity metrics. Depending on the engagement, this can include revenue, contribution, advertising efficiency, conversion, stock availability, channel performance and the actions needed next.
Can you help improve ecommerce profitability as well as sales?
Yes. We look at the connected drivers of ecommerce profit, including product margin, marketplace fees, advertising efficiency, conversion, pricing, promotions, fulfilment, returns and stock availability. Depending on the engagement, we then prioritise work across Amazon PPC, Google Ads, listings, conversion optimisation, inventory planning and channel reporting based on commercial contribution rather than revenue alone.
Can you help with ecommerce stock forecasting and inventory planning?
Yes. We help multi-channel brands create a clearer demand view across Shopify, Amazon and other marketplaces, then plan replenishment around sales patterns, seasonality, promotions, lead times and channel priorities. The aim is to reduce avoidable stockouts and excess stock while keeping advertising and growth plans aligned with availability.
Can we outsource ecommerce customer service and product listing work?
Yes. Our outsourced ecommerce management service can cover website customer service, order queries, returns and refunds, plus product listing creation and maintenance across agreed channels. Before work moves across, we document the scope, systems, permissions, service levels and escalation rules so responsibilities remain clear.
