Scale Manchester
Scale Manchester is a Shopify agency in Manchester. We build and move Shopify stores for Greater Manchester businesses, then grow their sales through Google Shopping, Meta ads, SEO and email, with one team doing all of it.
01
We work with shops at both ends of the job: businesses that need a Shopify store built or moved, and brands already selling on Shopify that want more orders from it. A new store is a one-off £1,900, and monthly growth work is a fixed £2,400 a month.
In September 2026, 28.3% of all retail sales in Great Britain were made online, according to the Office for National Statistics. A shop that shows up well and checks out quickly is competing for a large and steady share of spending.
Most of the shops we meet have less of a traffic problem than a leak: product pages that load slowly on a phone, delivery costs that only appear at checkout, abandoned baskets nobody follows up. We fix those first, because every pound spent on ads goes further once they are fixed.
A clothing label in the Northern Quarter, a homeware shop in Altrincham and a supplement brand packing orders in Trafford Park all sell in different ways, so the plan starts with your products, your margins and how your customers buy.
02
A new shop usually needs the first two. A shop that is already trading usually needs the rest, in the order the plan sets.
We set up your store from the start: a theme fitted to your brand, products uploaded with their photos and descriptions, payments, delivery rates, tax settings and the pages every shop needs. You get a store that is ready to take orders, and it is yours to run.
If you sell on WooCommerce, an older platform or a hand-built site, we move your products, customer records and page structure across. Old web addresses are kept where possible and redirected where not, so the move costs you as little search traffic as it can.
Shopify SEO starts with the pages people land on from Google: product titles and descriptions written for what buyers type, collection pages for the ranges they look for, tidy web addresses and images that load quickly on a phone.
We connect your product feed to Google Merchant Center and to Meta, then run Shopping, Performance Max and catalogue ads that show each buyer the product they were looking at. Budgets follow the products that earn the most, not the ones that sell the most.
A welcome series, abandoned basket reminders and after-purchase emails run by themselves once they are set up. We write and design them, test subject lines and offers, and add campaigns around your busiest dates.
We watch where visitors give up, from the product page to the last step of checkout, and test one change at a time: delivery costs shown sooner, better product photos, simpler options. A change stays only if orders go up.
We check that Shopify, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads and Meta all count the same orders. Until they agree, nobody can say which channel really made a sale, and we will not raise a budget on a guess.
03
A shop is judged by its orders, not by how it looks in a mock-up. These are the promises behind how we work on yours.
The people who build your store also run its ads, email and SEO, so nothing gets lost between a web designer who has finished and a marketing agency starting from scratch.
Your Shopify account, domain, theme and apps are in your company’s name. We work on the store as collaborators, and you can remove our access whenever you like.
A store build is one price agreed before we start, and the monthly work is a fixed fee. A record month for your sales never raises our bill.
Once the store is live, the monthly work runs one month at a time, with no yearly agreement to sign.
Every change, from a rewritten product page to a new ad, is judged by orders and revenue rather than by visits or clicks.
You message the people working on your store directly, on Slack, instead of raising a ticket and waiting for whoever picks it up.
04
New stores go through every step. Stores already trading start at the audit and go straight to the checks.
We go through what you sell, what each product earns after costs and where your orders come from today.
You see the plan and the price before anything is built or changed.
A new store is built and filled with products; an existing one is moved across or repaired where it stands.
You see the store on a preview link before it goes live.
We place test orders, check payments, delivery rates and order emails, and confirm every sale is counted.
Only then does the store open or the ads start.
A short report covers orders, revenue, cost per sale and what we change next.
Anything in it can be questioned on Slack the same week.
Ads, email, SEO and checkout tests run side by side, and the budget follows whatever sells.
Each month we decide which products to push and which to stop advertising.
05
The build is a one-off fee and the growth work a fixed monthly one. Shopify’s own subscription, your apps and your advertising are paid by you directly.
£1,900 one-off
For businesses opening their first online shop, or moving one onto Shopify. We plan the store with you, build it, upload your products and set up payments and delivery.
You get a working store ready to sell, set up in your name and yours to run afterwards.
Get in touch£2,400/month
For shops already trading that want more orders. We test new ads and sales channels quickly, and work on product pages, SEO, email and the checkout at the same time.
The aim is a better month every month, measured in orders and revenue.
Get in touchPricing on Request
For stores with several ranges, markets or sales channels. We look at how the shop sells today and where the growth is, then shape the work and the price around that.

With us, a new store build is a one-off £1,900, and ongoing growth work is £2,400 a month. Larger stores with several ranges, markets or sales channels are priced once we have seen them.
Shopify’s subscription, any paid apps and your advertising are paid by you directly, and we never add a margin to them.
For most small and medium shops we suggest Shopify, because hosting, security and updates are handled for you and its apps cover most needs. WooCommerce suits a business already running on WordPress that wants full control of the code. We tell you which fits before you pay for a build.
Any move carries some risk, so we map every old web address to its new one, redirect it, carry the titles and descriptions over and watch Search Console in the weeks after launch. Done that way the risk is small, and anything that slips shows up early enough to fix.
Yes. We start with a review of the theme, the apps, the speed and the tracking, fix whatever is holding sales back and leave alone what already works.
Fixes to tracking, product pages and abandoned basket emails can show in your orders within weeks. Ads usually need a few weeks of testing to settle, and SEO builds over months. We start with the quickest wins and keep the slower work going alongside them.
You do. The Shopify account, the domain and the customer list are in your name from the first day, and we work as collaborators you can remove at any time.
No. Our fees are fixed, so a record month does not change what you pay us.
No. The store build is a one-off project, and the monthly work carries on only while it is paying for itself.
Your products with prices, photos and descriptions, or a spreadsheet of them; your logo and brand colours; your delivery prices; and the business details Shopify asks for to take payments. We set up everything else and ask for anything missing as we go.
Yes. We choose and set up apps for things like reviews, subscriptions, bundles or delivery dates where your shop needs them, and keep the number low, because every app adds to how long your pages take to load.
Yes, as part of the monthly growth work: product titles and descriptions, collection pages built around what buyers search for, the site’s structure and its speed. We report what moved each week, and we never promise positions by a date.
Yes. We connect your Shopify catalogue to Google Merchant Center, fix any products Google rejects, and run Shopping and Performance Max campaigns with budgets set by which products earn the most.
