What changes when it is e-commerce

Followers are not the product. We report on what social contributes to enquiries and revenue, because a large audience that never buys is a cost centre with good engagement rates.

In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how social media marketing has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is search relevance, usually integrated against payment gateways. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions from this sector

How quickly can we see conversion impact?

Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.

Can you fix our catalogue data?

Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.

Which platforms should we be on?

Where your buyers are, which for B2B in India usually means LinkedIn and increasingly YouTube; for D2C, Instagram. Being everywhere thinly is the most common and most expensive mistake.

How do you measure it?

Traffic, enquiries and revenue contribution, with reach and engagement as diagnostics rather than as the report. If social is not contributing, you should hear that from us.

Do we need to be on every platform?

No. Two done properly beats five done thinly, and the platforms you skip should be a decision rather than an accident.
