Online stores and retail shops

The marketing audit for ecommerce

Product pages, speed and conversion capture.

An online store is judged page by page: does it load quickly on a phone, do the product images have alt text, is there an order path, is the ad pixel installed before money is spent, and is a conversion event defined so spend can be measured. EchoPilot checks each of those, plus the email domain's authentication records and whether reviews exist on more than one platform.

The ecommerce rule set requires the order path, the per-category pages and the ad tag rules, and skips the Google Business Profile Q&A and local 3-pack rules. Every month the audit re-runs and lists the next actions; on the higher plans EchoPilot drafts the social posts for a person on your team to approve.

After the first audit

A typical first 90 days

The memo lists at most eight actions, ordered gating first, then by severity. For a ecommerce business the first ones usually look like this; yours come from your own audit's failures.

  1. Compress the hero images and defer non-critical scripts until the mobile LCP is under 2.5 seconds.
  2. Give each product category its own page and add alt text to product images.
  3. Install the ad pixel and define a purchase conversion event before any ad spend; pause ads until tracking works.
  4. Set SPF, DKIM and DMARC on the store's email domain and collect reviews on a second platform.

Each action in a real memo carries the rule ids behind it, concrete steps, an effort estimate and an owner: you, or EchoPilot drafting for your approval.

Questions from ecommerce

Does the audit read my store's sales data?

No. It reads the public storefront, DNS, PageSpeed, search results, public reviews and social profiles. Orders and customers are never accessed.

Which rules are specific to ecommerce?

The order path (C5), category pages (S12) and ad tag (A4) rules are required; the Google Business Profile Q&A (L11) and local 3-pack (L12) rules are skipped.

How is page speed measured?

Through the PageSpeed Insights API, mobile strategy: LCP, CLS and total page weight for the homepage, with the values shown as evidence.

Is there a free version?

The free score needs no account: website, DNS, PageSpeed and search checks on the public site, with the evidence behind each rule.
