2XU

The whole ecommerce operation in the same hands: a new platform, ads in two channels, SEO and owned data. All measured against profitable growth, not reach.

[ Background ]

Three vendors became one team.

2XU has world-class products, but web, ads and SEO lived in separate corners. No one could point to what actually drove profit, only what drove traffic.

We took over the whole chain: the build, the paid channels, the organic visibility and the reporting. One system instead of three contracts, all tuned towards profitability instead of reach.

[ What we did ]

  • (01)

    Custom Shopify theme

    A fully bespoke theme built for conversion and speed: advanced colour swatches, real size guides and custom metadata on the products. CRO built in from the first sketch, not as an afterthought checklist.

  • (02)

    Google Ads

    The account is steered towards profit instead of clicks. Profitable spend scaled by over 300 percent in twelve months, without letting the return give way along the road.

  • (03)

    Meta Ads

    Campaigns with one mission: bring in new sales, not just repeat purchases from people who already know the brand. Consistently within a profitable ROAS of 5 and up.

  • (04)

    SEO & visibility

    Categories and structure rebuilt to be seen more broadly, in both search engines and AI answers. Over 50 percent more organic traffic, traffic that doesn't cost per click.

  • (05)

    Data & reporting

    Custom reporting and data integrations that tie the channels together. Every krona is followed from ad to order to the bottom line, so decisions are made on numbers that hold.

How the work got done.

(01)

What did you build on the web?

A fully bespoke Shopify theme, built for speed and conversion. Advanced colour swatches, real size guides, custom metadata on the products and a set of features standard themes can't handle. CRO was built in from the first sketch.

(02)

What did the ads work look like?

Two channels, one principle: profitability before reach. On Google we scaled the profitable spend by over 300 percent in twelve months. On Meta we consistently drive new sales within a ROAS of 5 and up.

(03)

And the organic traffic?

We rebuilt categories and structure to be seen more broadly, in both search engines and the new AI answers. The result: over 50 percent more organic search traffic, without paying for every click.

(04)

How do you know it pays off?

With our own reporting and data integrations that tie the channels together. Every krona is followed from ad to order to the bottom line, so decisions are made on numbers that actually hold.

We are not looking for more clients. We are looking for the right one.
