All the conversion action on your Shopify store happens in a narrow window. Jordan builds out the diagnostic framework to find it, measure it, and fix it.
What's covered:
- Why sessions, scroll depth, and page depth are all brutally short, and why that concentrates the opportunity
- The 10 power pages to audit: homepage, top 3 category pages by conversions, top 3 PDPs by conversions, top 3 content pages by sessions
- The four metrics to track per page: sessions, add to cart rate, conversion rate, conversions
- Entry vs. internal referrer as two distinct analytical lenses
- Channel segmentation: paid, organic, Klaviyo, direct/other, and why mixing them hides the real signal
- What healthy funnel shape looks like: PDP add to cart rate higher than category, higher than home
- Klaviyo benchmarks: 10% of total revenue attributed, 2-3x conversion rate on email entries
- Sitewide benchmarks: 7.5% add to cart, 2% conversion rate
- Post-click activities to deploy against specific gaps: pre-sell pages, quizzes, site funnels, category flows, bundle builders, recommendations, subscribe and save
Referenced episodes: 69, 70, 73 (retention and email metrics), low-60s series (120-second session framework), recent recommendations flow and essentials flow episodes.
