BigCommerce strategy consulting

BigCommerce consulting that turns strategy into revenue

You get a BigCommerce expert who has shipped dozens of stores. No generalist with a slide deck. Founders and ecommerce directors get an audit, roadmap, and advisory scoped to their store, data, and growth goal.

Why most ecommerce advice does not work

The old way costs you time and revenue

With Redefine
  • Platform-specific diagnosis

    Your consultant reviews your actual storefront, theme code, integration stack, and analytics before recommending anything.

  • Strategy is the deliverable, not a by-product

    Every engagement produces a written report and a prioritized roadmap you own, with no obligation to hire us further.

  • Advice from people who build on BigCommerce daily

    Your consultant has shipped stores this year. The recommendations come from build experience, not certification.

  • Async support throughout the engagement

    Questions that surface during implementation get answered fast, without scheduling a new project.

The old way
  • Generic agency advice

    You receive a broad framework that could apply to any platform. Your actual BigCommerce configuration is never reviewed.

  • Strategy buried inside a retainer

    You pay for execution first. Strategy is what gets squeezed out when sprints fill up.

  • Advice tied to their technology stack

    Recommendations are shaped by what the agency sells, not by what your platform actually supports.

  • Roadmap delivered, then abandoned

    You get a 60-page document and no one to call when implementation questions arise three weeks later.

Scope and deliverables

Four consulting paths, each ending in a deliverable you own

01: Discovery

Store Audit and Diagnostic

Your consultant reviews every layer of your BigCommerce store in a structured diagnostic. You find out where revenue is leaking before you spend another dollar on execution.

Conversion funnel

Cart, checkout, and post-purchase path scored and annotated

SEO architecture

URL structure, schema, crawlability, and content gaps

Speed and performance

90-Day Roadmap

Optimize product data for feedsMedium impact
02: Strategy

Platform Strategy and Roadmap

Your consultant turns audit findings into a sequenced growth plan. Every action item is ranked by effort-to-impact ratio so your team knows exactly what to build first.

The roadmap is written for your team, not for a board presentation. It includes platform-specific implementation notes your developers can act on immediately.

03: Advisory

Implementation Advisory

You have a development team or an agency on execution. Your consultant sits alongside them, answering architecture questions, reviewing work before it ships, and flagging platform-specific issues before they become problems.

Advisory is scoped by the sprint, not the month. You bring questions; you get clear answers grounded in actual platform knowledge.

See migration advisory scope
Advisory session: live questions and answers log
Development team asks

"Should we use native BigCommerce wishlists or a third-party app for our B2B buyers?"

Consultant answers

"Native wishlists lack account-level sharing for B2B. For your buyer portal, WishList Plus gives you team sharing and import controls without a custom build."

Development team asks

"Our product feed is pulling wrong prices for sale items since last week."

Consultant answers

"This is a known BigCommerce sale-price API response issue. Set your feed to pull `calculated_price` instead of `sale_price` and it resolves immediately."

04: Growth Retainer

Ongoing Growth and Optimization

Consulting Proof

From $1M to $3.8M on one owned-channel program

One client, one cause — a custom BigCommerce store, Klaviyo lifecycle email, and search-led growth under strict advertising limits. This page covers the strategy and consulting layer within that same program.

Off Grid Knives team reviewing BigCommerce growth strategy

Off Grid Knives

BigCommerce + Klaviyo + SEO

Premium camping and outdoor knives sold direct-to-consumer on BigCommerce in a category with strict paid-advertising limits. Growth had to come from owned channels — not paid acquisition.

The challenge

Revenue had plateaued near $1 million a year. With paid ads restricted, growth had to come from the BigCommerce store — organic search, site speed, and lifecycle email. Performance, experience, and order flow were not built to carry that load.

What changed
  • BigCommerce store strategy — performance, mobile, and technical SEO roadmap
  • Klaviyo lifecycle strategy tied to live purchase behavior
  • Organic search and content architecture on owned channels
  • Order flow and experience consulting on the BigCommerce platform
The result
$1M$3.8M

Off Grid Knives annual revenue, up from $1M over three years — single-client result on owned channels, zero paid ads.

3.8xOff Grid Knives revenue growth — not a portfolio average
0 paid adsScaled through SEO, email, and a performance-tuned BigCommerce store

Klaviyo lifecycle email became a primary revenue channel. Improved organic rankings and a faster store experience delivered sustained traffic growth on owned channels.

$1M → $3.8M and 3.8x revenue growth are from the Off Grid Knives engagement only — not typical or average client outcomes. Canonical BigCommerce case study — custom store build, Klaviyo lifecycle email, and search-led growth over three years.

Why Redefine consulting

Three things no typical consulting page will say

BigCommerce consultant and ecommerce director reviewing platform strategy document together at a desk

Built on the platform we consult about

Your consultant built stores on BigCommerce this year. The advice is not theoretical. It is drawn from watching what works and what breaks at scale in real production stores.

Every engagement ends with a document, not a conversation

Audits produce a written scored report. Strategy sessions produce a prioritized action document. You leave every engagement with something your team can act on that afternoon, not three weeks later.

You own the work and can take it anywhere

Consulting is priced and delivered independently of execution. Take the strategy to your internal developers or another agency. If you want Redefine to build it, that is a separate conversation you control.

Common questions

BigCommerce consulting FAQ

Still weighing whether a consulting engagement is right for your situation? These are the questions founders and ecommerce directors ask most before booking.

Every engagement begins with a platform audit covering your theme, integration stack, SEO configuration, conversion flow, and analytics. You receive a written scored report and a prioritized roadmap. Advisory retainers add monthly strategy sessions, implementation guidance, and async support between sessions.ou receive a written scored report and a prioritized roadmap. Advisory retainers add monthly strategy sessions, implementation guidance for your development team, and async support between sessions.

A Discovery audit runs one to two weeks from kickoff and delivers a written report plus a 90-day priority roadmap. Advisory retainers run month-to-month. Enterprise advisory engagements span three to six months depending on scope.

Both. The majority of our consulting clients are merchants already on BigCommerce who want a sharper growth strategy, better integrations, or a full platform audit. Migration advisory is a separate track for brands evaluating BigCommerce as their next platform before they commit to a project.

Support covers maintenance, bug fixes, and day-to-day operational tasks. Consulting is strategic. You bring questions about platform direction, integration architecture, conversion improvement, growth levers, or replatforming decisions, and you get expert answers grounded in actual platform build experience.

No. Consulting engagements are priced and delivered independently of any execution work. You keep every report, roadmap, and recommendation. You are free to take the strategy to your internal team or a different agency. If you want Redefine to handle implementation, that is a separate scope you choose separately.
