Hello

I am considering going down the Shopify Experts route to try and help get more traffic to my store and generate sales.

Has anyone used a Shopify Expert and if so, would you recommend and how did you find this? Do all Shopify Experts do the same thing for your store or does it depend on the individual. I have sent out a job and had a few responses and I’m having a call with someone tomorrow but would just like to know what people on here think first.

Any feedback good or bad would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Using a Shopify Expert might be helpful if you come across one who has expertise in your particular needs, such as SEO, Ads, or CRO. Not all are the same, so check their niche, reviews and portfolio before. Request quantifiable results and milestones prior to signing up for any long-term agreement.
