E-Commerce Agency Matching

Stop paying more every quarter to acquire the same customer.

You're accountable to ROAS targets, watching acquisition costs climb while blended margins thin, and answering for every dollar of spend. We match you with a vetted e-commerce marketing agency in 48 hours — one that understands LTV:CAC economics, retention and email/SMS depth, and post-cookie measurement.

What's slowing your store down?

Our last agency chased ROAS, not LTV

I need a shortlist before Q4 planning

We've outgrown our current setup

CAC keeps climbing

Sound familiar?

If 3+ of these are true, your growth is leaking profit.

Most brands wait until margin gets tight before they look. By then it's a rebuild across acquisition, retention, and measurement — not a quick win.

ROAS is decaying while spend grows

Every quarter you spend more to hit the same return. The paid channel that built the brand is now taxing it.

The last agency optimized ads, not LTV

Rising ROAS, shrinking profit. They bought cheap first orders and ignored who actually comes back and buys again.

Email and SMS have plateaued

Your highest-margin channel still runs on the same three flows it launched with. List growth stalled; revenue per send is sliding.

The CRO backlog nobody owns

A list of test ideas, a theme that half-converts, and no one shipping experiments against real revenue.

Marketplace and DTC are fighting each other

Amazon, retail, and your own store compete on price and attribution instead of compounding. No one owns the channel strategy.

Attribution broke after iOS and privacy changes

Platform numbers stopped matching the bank. You're allocating budget on data you no longer trust.

The vetting rigor

Why the agency we match won't be your next bad story.

If a past partner burned your budget, you don't need another pitch — you need to see the selection process. Here's exactly how an agency earns a place on our e-commerce roster.

Portfolio & outcomes review

Real store results — LTV:CAC, contribution margin, repeat rate — not vanity ROAS screenshots.

Team & craft audit

Who actually does the work: in-house media buyers, creatives, and CRO strategists, or outsourced churn.

Client reference checks

We call past e-commerce clients ourselves, including engagements that ended.

Sector fluency screen

LTV:CAC modeling, retention flows, marketplace vs. DTC, post-cookie measurement — tested, not claimed.

Ongoing performance review

Staying on the roster requires continued client outcomes. Partners get removed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first met John after he offered to give my colleague and I a quick crash course into what SEO is. Flash forward a few months later, we decided to dive deeper into improving our SEO ranking and connected back with John to pair us with an agency that would help deliver the results we were looking for. A great and personable experience both working with John and the agency he connected us with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was lucky enough to be referred to TAG in my search for a new SEO partner. Id been burned a number of times with monthly SEO retainers that delivered low quality work with little or no ROI. I am a month in to my engagement with a firm John matched me with,  and I am delighted to report the work is noticeably expert. John was attentive, supportive and thorough in his matching process. I highly recommend working with John at TAG if you are looking to find an honest, expert marketing firm.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finding an agency that aligned with our values, got our vision and worked within our budget was like finding a needle in a haystack, but John was able to help us do just that. He asked very detailed questions at the start of the process and made real effort to understand what we needed before setting up some valuable introductions for us. I would definitely recommend reaching out to him if you're looking for creative agencies.

My company had an excellent experience working with TAG to find an SEO wizard to help us improve our ecomm organic traffic and authority.  The experi made has been exceptional and we are trusting TAG to help us find more talent to help us with Klaviyo. I highly recommend TAG.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met John through Score and was happy to find a business that can actually recommend REAL professionals (especially because with the world of the internet it is hard to find talent). We were recommended an SEO service that was STELLAR and got us the business results we were looking for! Looking forward to working again with the Agency Guide for other marketing needs for our small business.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went to The Agency Guide with what we suspected was an impossible request--finding someone experienced with social media in an area of emerging tech that few knew about . . . and he found someone that not only had the exact right experience, but also produced very high quality work and who was great to work with. They became a valuable part of our team. It felt like a needle in a haystack situation, but they found our person so quickly--and the whole process was so easy for us. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just recently booked an SEO agency that was sourced by TAG. We worked with John and he is extremely knowledgeable about the industry, as well as seems to have many resources. He was able to source an agency that meets our budget and needs. We are excited to see the results in the oncoming months.
