Paid ads built your brand. Now they’re eating it.
Every quarter, Meta and Google charge you more for the same customer. I build DTC brands the channel they own instead: collection pages that rank on Google — and get recommended by ChatGPT. Last client: +$48,750/month in organic revenue, ~$8,000/month less ad spend.
You leave with 2–3 concrete revenue gaps. No pitch deck.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
You already feel it in the numbers.
Revenue is up. Profit isn't. Because the growth engine you built runs on rented traffic — and the rent goes up every quarter.
CAC only moves one direction
Meta and Google charge more for the same customer, every single quarter. Your growth is real. Your margin isn't.
One algorithm change from a bad month
Rented traffic can be repriced or switched off overnight. That's not a channel. That's a dependency.
Your competitors get those customers free
While you pay for every visitor, the brands ranking above you on Google — and named inside ChatGPT's answers — collect them daily, at zero cost. That gap compounds against you.
THE WAY OUT
Own the channel. Stop renting it.
There's traffic you pay for every day — and traffic that pays you back for years. I build the second kind with one system: Commerce Discovery. It turns your collection pages into a revenue engine across Google, shopping and AI search.
Demand & Discovery Map
Where your buyers actually search in 2026 — Google, AI assistants, marketplaces — mapped against every collection in your store. You see the revenue gaps before we touch anything.

AI SEO / AEO — built in, not an upsell
Systematic collection-page expansion plus answer engine optimization (AEO/GEO), so Google ranks you AND ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews cite you. Every engagement includes it as standard — because by 2026, SEO without AI visibility is half a strategy.

WHO YOU WORK WITH
The agency you'd hire? People like me do their actual work.
For years I've executed SEO behind the scenes for agencies and brands — same clients, same stakes, same quality. Working with me directly means the senior operator without the agency markup: no junior team learning on your account, no account manager relaying messages, no 40-page decks. And because I run an AI-native operation, one senior operator delivers the analytical throughput of a five-person team.
The old way
$8–15k/mo agency retainers
Junior teams learning on your account
6-12 month lock-in contracts
Or: cheap freelancers, unclear seniority
Blog-content filler & AI slop
Reports about activity, not revenue
AI visibility sold as a paid add-on

MEET THE FOUNDER
47+ stores grown through Google, ChatGPT & Co. By one operator.
I’m Johannes Weimar — ecom SEO operator for 8+ years, Shopify Partner and Google Partner. No agency, no handoffs: the person you talk to on your audit is the person rebuilding your collection pages. My rule is simple: honest ROI, or I tell you to walk. That’s why there’s no lock-in — and why I cap my client roster. Senior attention doesn’t scale past a handful of stores at a time.

FIRST 90 DAYS
90 days to load-bearing revenue infrastructure.
After day 90: continue monthly, or take the system in-house. Your call. No lock-in either way.
HONEST FILTER
Not for everyone. Here's the honest filter.
FIT — Proven demand
Your products sell. Paid works but margins hurt. Organic is the untapped channel.
FIT — 7-9 figure revenue
Enough catalog depth and order volume for collection page SEO to pay for itself fast.
FIT — Revenue focus
You want a P&L effect, not a keyword report.
NO FIT — Pre-revenue stores
SEO compounds on top of demand. Validate the offer first — then come back.
NO FIT — Blog content buyers
If you want 30 articles a month, hire a content mill. I build pages that sell.
NO FIT — Overnight expectations
First effects in weeks, compounding in months. If you need revenue next Tuesday, run ads.
FAQ
Wondering about something? Good.
I've been burned by SEO agencies before.
I hear that a lot — big promises, thin delivery. Here's how I work instead: measurable targets agreed upfront, not vague promises. Weekly shipped work you can see, not activity reports. Revenue as the KPI, not rankings for their own sake. And no lock-in — if it doesn't perform, you cancel, which keeps the pressure exactly where it belongs: on me. Bring your past experience to the audit; we'll look at what went wrong together.
Why work with a solo operator instead of an agency?
Because you get the person agencies put on their hardest accounts — without paying for the office, the juniors and the account manager. I cap my client roster so every store gets senior attention. If I'm at capacity, I'll tell you.
How fast do we see results?
Recovery and sprint work shows effects fast — our radbag case went from 40k to 167k monthly organic buyers in 45 days. Compounding growth builds over quarters on top of that. Anyone promising guaranteed page one in 30 days is still lying to you; I show you what's realistic for YOUR store on the intro call.
Why not just scale paid instead?
Because paid stops the second you stop paying — and gets more expensive every quarter you stay. SEO works the opposite way: it compounds and keeps selling 24/7 after the work is done. This isn't either/or; most of my clients run both. But every month without an organic channel, you're renting 100% of your revenue.
Is this AI-generated SEO content?
No — and that distinction matters. I use AI for analysis and throughput; strategy and every page that ships carries human judgment. What I do optimize for is AI search: making ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews cite your store. Using AI ≠ being recommended by AI. You're buying the second one.
Is there a contract lock-in?
No. Projects are fixed-scope; retainers cancel monthly. I keep clients with results, not with paperwork.
How do you measure SEO success?
With numbers we agree on before we start: organic traffic, keyword rankings, conversion rate — and above all, organic revenue. You get a dashboard and reports built so anyone on your team can read them in two minutes, no SEO translation needed. If a metric doesn't ladder up to revenue, I don't waste your time reporting on it.
At what revenue does SEO start making sense?
From around $80–100k in monthly revenue — that's the $1M+/year mark this page talks about. Below that, every dollar usually works harder in validating your offer and paid acquisition. Above it, you have the catalog depth and order volume for collection page SEO to pay for itself fast — and the ad bill that makes an owned channel worth building.
Do you cover AI SEO / AEO / GEO — or just classic Google SEO?
Both, in one system. Classic performance SEO makes Google rank your collection pages; AEO (answer engine optimization) makes ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews cite and recommend your store. It's included in every engagement — you will never get a 'that costs extra' email about AI visibility from me.
What makes Shopify SEO different?
Shopify is a strong platform with real SEO quirks — rigid URL structures, duplicate content from collection filtering, theme code that slows you down. Generic SEO advice breaks on these. I've spent 8+ years inside Shopify stores specifically, so your collections and products get placed the way the platform actually allows — not the way a generic checklist assumes.
What do you need from us to start?
Store access (collaborator), Search Console, analytics — and one decision-maker who can approve changes. That's it. No 6-week onboarding.
