Signal, our free Shopify store audit
Stuck with a store that fights you, a replatform that never landed, or a competitor pulling ahead for reasons you can't pin down? Share your store and up to three competitors. Signal analyzes all of them and returns quick wins and long-term strategy: what's working and what needs to change. A senior Softlimit strategist walks you through it on a 30-minute call.
Signal reviews your store the way we review any store before we scope work on it: full picture first, then the problems ranked by what they're costing you.
Navigation, product page layout, add-to-cart friction, checkout bottlenecks, and the mobile experience. Where buyers drop off on the way to purchase, and why.
Your Core Web Vitals baseline and the specific causes behind the slowdown. Speed is a conversion problem: a slow product page loses the sale before anyone reads the copy.
How products get found: search, collection structure, filtering, and where cross-sells sit. Whether your catalog setup works with the way your buyers actually shop, or against it.
App bloat, theme complexity, third-party script load, and the structural decisions that make every future launch slower.
How you stack up against the up to three competitors you name: feature parity, trust signals, speed difference, and how each of you shows up in the category.
Signal gives you the full picture in one sitting: quick wins, long-term strategy, and where you stand against your competitors. If a bigger engagement makes sense once we've walked through it, we'll scope what comes next together.
Softlimit is a Shopify Premier Partner. Fifteen years on Shopify. A senior team: the same people who scope and design also build and ship.
"When I joined Verb, our Shopify site wasn't built for growth. Simple updates required a developer, which limited our ability to test and optimize. Softlimit rebuilt the foundation so our team would move faster, make changes internally, and scale more effectively. They're collaborative, practical, and truly feel like a partner, not just an agency."

About 5 minutes: your store URL, up to three competitors you want to be measured against, and a line on what's prompting this, a replatform that didn't land, a conversion problem you can't pin down, a competitor you can't close the gap on. That line decides where Signal looks first.
Right after you submit, pick a time from our calendar. Calls open a few business days out, the time a senior strategist needs to read Signal's findings and prepare, and run within the following week. Slots are limited because a senior strategist runs every call.
On the 30-minute call, a senior strategist walks you through what Signal found: what's working, what needs improvement, and how you compare to the competitors you named. If a bigger engagement makes sense, we'll say so directly. Either way, we share the full audit with you after the call, free to use however you see fit.
Most stores that come to us with a rescue problem aren't dealing with one broken thing. It's a theme that slows every launch, an app stack that was added to for years and never cleaned up, and a competitor pulling ahead on something nobody has measured. Signal puts those in order, so you know what to fix first.
Signal is free. We would rather show you how a senior team reads a store than describe it.
Not the right fit: low-lift execution work with no real problem behind it, or vendor-shopping on price. Small, well-scoped asks that can grow are welcome.
