About the Business
From Local Retailer to National Brand
An independently-owned lighting retailer based in Oakville, Ontario. Despite having a small local presence, their outdated website and weak reputation made it impossible to compete with bigger retailers. They wanted to modernize their business, sell online, and eventually expand across Canada and the U.S.

How We Helped
A Weak Online Presence Holding Back Growth
When we first met, the business had:
❌ A clunky, poorly designed website that generated no sales
❌ Bad local reputation with negative Google reviews
❌ Zero ecommerce revenue and minimal organic visibility
❌ No strategy for ads, SEO, or customer retention
The challenge was clear: fix their digital presence, launch ecommerce properly, and create a growth engine that could scale.

How We Helped
Building a Multi-Channel Ecommerce Growth Engine
We built the business from the ground up, using a multi-channel approach:
✅ Migrated their outdated site to Shopify, creating a modern, conversion-focused store
✅ Launched Google Shopping + Performance Max campaigns to drive immediate sales
✅ Ran an ongoing SEO campaign to capture high-intent organic traffic
✅ Implemented review generation strategies to turn their reputation around
✅ Expanded beyond local sales → Canada-wide and into the U.S.
✅ Layered in email flows + retention systems to boost repeat purchases

What Changed
$2.5M+ in Sales and Expansion Across Borders
Over 2.5 years, the results were dramatic:
✅ $2.5M+ in ecommerce revenue generated
✅ From 0 sales to thousands of monthly orders
✅ Ranked on page 1 of Google for competitive lighting terms
✅ Google Ads delivered consistent ROI from Shopping + PMax campaigns
✅ Expanded from a local Oakville retailer → national Canadian brand → U.S. market
What They Said
Client Feedback and Our Perspective
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“When we started, our website was dead in the water. Within months of working with Shoptimal, we were seeing daily sales and growth we never thought possible. They built everything from scratch, including our Shopify site, ads, SEO, email, and Instagram account, and scaled us into a national brand.”
Denise V.
Former General Manager.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This project showed how fast small retailers can grow when the right systems are in place. Shopify, Google Ads, and SEO worked together to create a flywheel that turned a struggling store into a multi-million dollar brand.”
