The Tools I Actually Use
With Every Client

You don't need 1,000 apps — you need the right ones. Every tool on this page is organized by the same six-pillar framework I apply across every Shopify growth engagement. No noise, no filler, no tools I don't personally trust.

The Foundation — Store & Operations

Your Shopify store is the aircraft. Before you can climb altitude, the platform needs to be solid, fast, and built to scale. These are the tools I trust across every client engagement to keep the foundation airtight.

Rebuy

AOV Booster

AI-powered upsells, cross-sells, and reorder flows built directly into your Shopify storefront. Puts the right offer in front of the right customer at exactly the right moment — cart, checkout, and post-purchase.

Best for: Increasing average order value with minimal friction
Explore Rebuy

Gorgias

CX → Revenue

Customer support that actually generates revenue. Deep Shopify + Klaviyo integration, AI-powered responses, and macros that let small teams handle high ticket volume without losing the personal touch.

Best for: Brands that want CX to drive repeat revenue, not just close tickets
Explore Gorgias

OrderlyEmails

Post-Purchase

Your Shopify transactional emails — order confirmation, shipping updates — are prime real estate. OrderlyEmails turns them into branded, trust-building moments with built-in upsell blocks.

Best for: Turning order notifications into repeat purchase opportunities
Explore OrderlyEmails

Bulk Product Edit

Catalog Ops

Save hours on catalog management. Update prices, tags, metafields, and SEO fields across your entire product catalog in bulk — without touching a spreadsheet or hiring a dev.

Best for: Stores with large catalogs or frequent pricing and content updates
Explore Bulk Edit

Google Workspace

Ops Essential

The operational backbone every brand needs. Custom domain email, shared Docs, Drive storage, and team calendars. If you're still running a business from a personal Gmail, this is the fix.

Instrument Panel — Analytics & Tracking

You can't navigate by gut feel at altitude. The Instrument Panel pillar is about getting clean, trustworthy data before making any growth decisions. One source of truth. No guesswork.

🎯

Mo's Tracking Standard: Shopify native analytics is the primary source of truth — not GA4, not triple-whale. For Google Ads, the only Primary conversion action is Google Shopping App Purchase via the Shopify Google & YouTube app. Everything else is Secondary or deleted. Clean signal hygiene before any Smart Bidding work begins.

Supporting Signal

Google Analytics 4

Free

Useful for behavioral data — pages viewed, session paths, audience segments — but not the primary revenue source of truth. Use GA4 to understand how visitors navigate, not to report on actual sales performance.

Best for: Behavior analysis, audience building for Google Ads
Open GA4
Primary Signal

Google Ads Reporting

Paid Traffic

Native Google Ads reporting is the standard for paid traffic analysis. ROAS, cost-per-conversion, impression share, and auction insights — pulled directly, no third-party dependency. Smart Bidding needs clean signals first.

Best for: Campaign performance, bid strategy decisions, budget allocation
Open Google Ads
Primary Signal

Klaviyo Analytics

Email / SMS

Flow revenue, campaign attribution, list growth, and engagement — all in Klaviyo natively. The email and SMS channel reporting is clean, Shopify-synced, and the only place I pull retention metrics from.

Best for: Email and SMS revenue attribution, flow performance, list health
Explore Klaviyo
Supporting Signal

Microsoft Clarity

Free

Free heatmaps and session recordings from Microsoft. A great entry-level alternative to Hotjar for stores that want behavioral data without the monthly cost. Integrates with GA4 and shows exactly where visitors drop off.

Best for: Heatmaps, rage clicks, scroll depth analysis — zero cost

Traffic & Demand — Paid & Organic

Revenue growth requires qualified demand. This pillar covers the tools I use to build, manage, and optimize traffic across Google Ads, Bing, Google Shopping, and organic search — prioritized by 80/20 impact, not channel hype.

💰 Paid Traffic Channels
Google Ads

Google Ads

Performance Max, Standard Shopping, and Search — the primary paid growth lever for every Shopify client I work with. Smart Bidding requires clean conversion signals before launch.

Open Google Ads ↗
GMC

Google Merchant Center

Sync your Shopify catalog via the Google & YouTube app. Feed quality directly impacts Shopping ad performance — product taxonomy, titles, and image quality all matter here.

Open Merchant Center ↗
Bing Ads

Microsoft Advertising

Underrated channel with lower CPCs and a high-intent audience. Import directly from Google Ads and capture the traffic your competitors are ignoring.

Open Microsoft Ads ↗
🔍 SEO & Organic Visibility
Research

Ahrefs

My go-to for keyword research, competitor gap analysis, and backlink auditing. Site Explorer + Keywords Explorer is the combo I run on every new client account.

Explore Ahrefs ↗
Technical

Screaming Frog

Desktop crawler for technical SEO audits. Catches broken links, duplicate content, missing metadata, and redirect chains before they tank rankings. Essential for site migrations.

Explore Screaming Frog ↗
On-Page

Surfer SEO

AI-powered on-page optimization for blog and collection page content. Shows exactly what topical gaps to fill based on what's already ranking for your target keywords.

Explore Surfer SEO ↗

Semrush

SEO Suite

Strong alternative to Ahrefs with excellent keyword tracking and competitive research tools. Particularly good for position tracking and monitoring SERP visibility over time.

Best for: Rank tracking, content gap analysis, competitive keyword research
Explore Semrush

Plug In SEO

Shopify App

Shopify-native SEO app that scans for common issues — missing alt text, slow pages, broken links — with guided fixes. Good for clients who want a self-service SEO checklist without the complexity of enterprise tools.

Best for: Shopify-specific SEO hygiene and quick fixes without a technical background
Explore Plug In SEO

Traffic without conversion is just an expensive hobby. Before scaling ad spend, we audit your traffic structure, feed quality, and tracking — then build a plan that actually compounds.

✈ Growth System · Pillar 4

Revenue Without More Work — Email, SMS & Retention

The highest-ROI growth lever most brands aren't fully using. Automated email and SMS flows recover abandoned revenue, build repeat purchase habits, and generate sales while you sleep — no ad spend required.

📬 Mo's Klaviyo Flow Build Order — ROI Priority

These four flows are built in this sequence across every client. The order matters — each one stacks on the last.

1

Abandoned Checkout

Highest-intent abandoners. 3-email sequence, urgency-forward, revenue-first.

2

Abandoned Cart

Caught before checkout. Emphasis on social proof and removing friction.

3

Browse Abandonment

Earlier in funnel. Product-specific re-engagement with light urgency.

4

Exit Intent

Last chance capture. Pair with an exit intent popup — no entry popups.

Postscript

SMS-First

Built specifically for ecommerce SMS marketing. Conversational, two-way messaging with keyword opt-ins, A/B testing, and Klaviyo sync. High-performing for brands with an engaged mobile customer base.

Best for: SMS-first brands, flash promos, high-AOV product alerts
Explore Postscript

OrderlyEmails

Transactional

Brand your Shopify notification emails — order confirmations, shipping updates, delivery alerts — with on-brand design and built-in upsell blocks. Transactional emails have the highest open rates of anything you send.

Best for: Post-purchase experience and passive repeat-purchase nudges
Explore OrderlyEmails

Google Workspace

Brand Infra

A professional sending domain is the baseline your email marketing deserves. If your Klaviyo flows are sending from a personal Gmail, you're undermining deliverability and brand trust simultaneously. Fix this first.

Best for: Branded sending domain, professional email setup, team ops
Explore Workspace

Most brands leave 20–30% of revenue on the table in email alone. A Flight Hour audit reviews your current flows, identifies gaps, and maps a build plan prioritized by ROI.

✈ Growth System · Pillar 5

Conversion & AOV — CRO & Order Value

More traffic solves nothing if the store doesn't convert. This pillar focuses on removing friction, building trust, and increasing the value of every transaction — the highest-leverage work in any Shopify growth engagement.

📱

Mobile-First Always

70%+ of Shopify traffic is mobile. Every CRO recommendation starts with mobile experience, not desktop.

🙅

No Entry Popups

Exit-intent only. Entry popups damage conversion rates. This is a hard line across all client stores.

💬

Pain → Transformation

Product-centric copy doesn't convert. Customer transformation does. We reframe before we redesign.

Rebuy

AOV Engine

Smart product recommendations, post-purchase upsells, and reorder nudges — all powered by purchase behavior and AI. Rebuy adds AOV lift without adding friction to the shopping experience.

Best for: In-cart and post-purchase upsells, reorder flows, personalized bundles
Explore Rebuy

Octane AI

Quiz / AOV

Shoppable product quizzes that guide visitors to the right product while capturing email and SMS opt-ins. Especially powerful for stores with larger catalogs or products that need education to convert.

Best for: Product discovery, email capture, boosting conversion + AOV simultaneously
Explore Octane AI

Gorgias

CX Conversion

Fast, on-site customer support directly reduces purchase hesitation. Gorgias lets small teams respond to pre-purchase questions at scale — and its proactive chat rules can be targeted to high-intent pages to rescue wavering buyers.

Best for: High-AOV stores where pre-purchase questions frequently block the sale
Explore Gorgias

Canva Pro

Visual Assets

Product page and email imagery drive conversion — and Canva makes it possible without a design team. Email banners, UGC mockups, collection graphics, and social proof assets all live here.

Best for: Fast, on-brand visual content that improves page conversion and email CTR
Explore Canva

Small CVR improvements compound fast at scale. A Flight Hour CRO audit identifies the highest-leverage fixes on your site — no generic checklist, just what matters for your specific store.
