The Process

To address GorillaSports.ro’s needs, we initiated a comprehensive strategy that began with competitor analysis and theme and app research. We migrated all customer, order, and product data, ensuring no data loss, and implemented extensive SEO measures, including 301 redirects and manual verification of the top indexed pages.

We integrated essential tools such as Google Search Console, Google Merchant, Bing Webmaster, 2Performant, Meta Business Manager, and Google Tag Manager. Our team also set up a comprehensive email marketing automation system using Klaviyo. Additionally, we supported their in-house team and connected Shopify to SAP for seamless operations.

The project was completed within 2.5 months. During this period, we migrated all data, perfected product data, and created 301 redirects with manual verification of the top indexed pages. We also supported their team with weekly calls and training sessions to ensure a smooth transition and effective use of Shopify.
