Peak Atlas

E-Commerce Growth · The Money Path

First, we get the money your shop has all but earned.

Before we buy more traffic, we optimize the path from existing interest to actual contribution margin.

Peak Atlas optimizes online shops along their entire money path, from payment, checkout and cart through product pages and repeat purchases to Google Ads, Shopping and new demand.

We don't automatically start with more traffic. We start where additional economic value is most likely to be created.

The problem

More traffic doesn't fix a broken growth system.

A shop can grow and still leave money on the table.

Maybe you buy traffic too expensively. Maybe customers drop out at checkout. Maybe the cart is too small. Maybe product pages don't convert. Maybe existing customers never buy again.

And perhaps you're already investing in new demand, even though bigger levers sit closer to the money.

    ROAS looks good. Contribution margin doesn't.

Our system

10 stations. One order.

We follow the money backward – from result to demand. Each station opens a complete dossier with goal, metric, problems and possible levers.

We check backward from the result, then prioritize with your shop data by expected impact, effort and feasibility. An earlier station isn't automatically more important.

We don't optimize for vanity metrics

Growth doesn't end at ROAS.

Case Study

484% more revenue for a store with farm-fresh fruit

Starting point
A French online store delivers fruit straight from the producer. 800 products in the range, but only 150 to 180 available at the same time.
Bottleneck
Seasonality and fixed order days limited the advertising window and the available data; competition in the market was strong.
What we changed
  • Campaign structure in Search and Shopping built by fruit category and seasonality
  • Automated campaigns, multiple shopping feeds and parameter adjustments for room to scale
  • Tracking switched over and targeted remarketing implemented
  • Business model expanded with “Subscribe & Save” to increase lifetime value

  • Your shop already has real demand.
  • You want to grow profitably.
  • Ads and shop may be optimized together.
  • You make decisions based on numbers.
  • You're looking for a partner, not just a campaign manager.

Peak Atlas probably isn't a fit if …

  • You only want the cheapest possible ads management.
  • You don't want to share any numbers.
  • Revenue matters more than profitability.
  • Shop and offer can't be changed.

Frequently asked questions

  • At what shop size does working together make sense?

    As soon as there is existing demand and regular orders. Without demand, we'd be optimizing a path no one is walking yet.

  • How high should our ad budget be?

    That depends on margin, basket and market size. What matters isn't the size of the budget but whether an extra euro brings in more contribution margin than it costs. We clarify that before we work together.

  • Do you only work with Shopify?

    No. Shopify and Shopware are common, but the work depends on the business model and the data, not the system.

  • Can we do just Google Ads with you?

    Yes. But we'll tell you if the bigger lever lies elsewhere.

  • Do you also handle CRO and landing pages?

    Yes, as part of the money path: purchase journey, product pages, cart and checkout.

  • How quickly will we see first results?

    Technical and structural errors often take effect in the short term. Anything involving learning phases, tests or repeat purchases needs months rather than weeks. We tell you up front what becomes measurable when.

  • How do you measure success?

    By economic metrics: contribution margin, CAC, AOV, repeat purchase rate and MER, not by ROAS alone.

  • Do you work on a success-fee basis?

    We discuss models individually. Purely success-based compensation requires full data transparency and stable measurement.

  • What if we already have an agency?

    Then we first clarify whether there is really a gap. A second provider at the same station rarely brings in more money.

  • Can we start with an audit?

    Yes. A defined audit is a common way to start and provides the basis for prioritization.

Guided by seniors. Not handed off to junior teams.

The person who analyzes your shop also works on the implementation.

Your next bottleneck

You don't need to know yet what your shop needs.

That's exactly what the money path is for. We analyze at which station economic value is currently being lost and where we would start first.

Not a generic agency pitch. We talk about your shop, your numbers and your next bottleneck.

“Thanks to the support we now reach significantly more new customers through the Google Ads channel and can make even more food lovers happy. I'd especially like to highlight the always transparent and fair collaboration, which I haven't experienced in this form with any other agency.”
Björn Butz · Owner, Zia Pina pasta manufactory

Fit

Is Peak Atlas right for your online store?

Especially worthwhile if …

  • Your shop already has real demand and should grow profitably.
  • Ads and shop may be optimized together.
  • You make decisions based on numbers and are looking for one partner for both shop and marketing.
Analyze my shop

In the end, an honest assessment – even if it's “not yet.”

Still too early if …

  • Your product hasn't been validated yet.
  • You only want the cheapest possible ads management or don't want to share any numbers.
  • Revenue matters more than profitability, and the shop or offer can't be changed.

Then a later time is usually the better investment. We'll tell you so openly in our conversation.

Maybe it's in a shopping cart that never gets ordered. In a campaign that just needs the right matching. In a product page that loads a tick faster. The initial consultation shows you, in 15 minutes, with your numbers.
