This sustainable athleisure brand had a beautiful Shopify store and product-market fit, but struggled to scale beyond $700K annual revenue. They were spending 87% of revenue on Instagram/Facebook ads with diminishing returns. They needed diversified, sustainable traffic channels.

The Challenge

Breaking free from paid social dependency and scaling to 8 figures

🎯 Key Challenges

  • Paid Ad Dependency: 87% of revenue from Instagram/Facebook ads with rising CPMs (up 142% YoY)
  • Limited Organic Visibility: Shopify store had only 8,700 monthly organic visitors despite strong product reviews
  • Missing Amazon Opportunity: Zero presence on Amazon where competitors were generating $2M+/year
  • Poor Product Discoverability: Not showing in Google Shopping results for high-intent queries like "sustainable yoga pants"
  • Weak Technical SEO: Shopify store had 2.8s load time, no product schema, duplicate content issues
  • Single-Channel Risk: Vulnerable to iOS 14.5 tracking changes that decimated Facebook ROAS

The breaking point: iOS 14.5 update caused Facebook ROAS to drop from 4.2x to 1.8x in 3 months. Burning $47K/month on ads to maintain $54K revenue. Unsustainable.
