Where are you right now?

The three situations we walk into most. Each one comes with the plan and the work that proves it.

WYZE

You’re moving platforms

We’re stuck on Magento, the launch date is set, and the last agency missed theirs.

We’ve been there. We moved WYZE from Magento 2 to Shopify Plus, with a beta store running next to Magento first.

Path 01 · The replatformer

Your move, in three steps

  1. Pick the platform, then map everythingIf the platform isn’t chosen yet, we run the selection and the RFP. Then products, customers, order history and every URL get mapped, with the redirect plan written up front so search traffic has somewhere to go.
  2. Build on the right baseShopify’s Horizon theme, or a fully custom design. ERP and back-end links through a connector like Celigo, or custom middleware where a connector won’t fit.
  3. Launch in stages if it lowers the riskA beta next to the old site, or one market at a time. The developers who planned it are the ones who build it.

Typical timeline: 3–6 months for Shopify Plus. It moves with the platform you’re leaving, theme or custom design, how custom your integrations are, and how many apps you run.

Pair of Thieves

Your site works. Growth doesn’t.

ROAS keeps sliding, email is flat, and the CEO wants to know what the budget is buying.

We’ve been there. We’ve defended the marketing number to a CEO. Now we run the channels as one plan, with one report.

Path 02 · The growth lead

Your next budget meeting, in three steps

  1. Find where the money leaksWe read your paid search, paid social, email/SMS and AI search setup and tell you plainly what’s earning and what isn’t.
  2. Run it as one planOne team on every channel, one report you can put in front of your CEO without translating it.
  3. Show up where shoppers now askAEO and GEO work so your brand appears when people ask AI tools for options in your category.

One monthly report in revenue, not clicks. You see what every hour went to.

Proof

Pair of Thieves

Email/SMS, organic social and creative run by a team embedded in their standups and Slack, so the brand added no new hires.

Bentgo

You need someone who has done this

A platform, agency or budget call is coming, and nobody here has made it before.

We’ve been there. We made those calls as heads of E-Commerce. Now we make them with you, before anyone builds.

Path 03 · The decision maker

A call you can defend, in three steps

  1. Audit what you havePaid media, email/SMS, analytics, SEO and the site itself, each checked against what it actually earns.
  2. Rank the fixesEvery finding ranked by impact and effort, then grouped into a roadmap your team can run.
  3. Stay for the hard callsA monthly strategy retainer, or interim leadership while you hire.

Founders with 20+ years as E-Commerce executives, on every strategy call.

The anti-agency

Why we built DYODE

“We hired a lot of agencies in those jobs. Too many didn’t get it, nickel-and-dimed us, and never acted like a real growth partner. So we built something different.”

AI

Where AI helps your store today

Shoppers now ask ChatGPT and Google’s AI what to buy. We get your store into those answers, and make sure AI on your own site gives the right ones.

  • AEO / GEOShow up in AI answers

    We list the questions your buyers ask, then track which answers in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite you, before and after the work.

    How we measure it
  • Free store scanCheck if AI can read your store

    The scan checks whether GPTBot and ClaudeBot are allowed in, whether your product schema exists, and whether price shows up without JavaScript.

    Scan your store
  • AI shopping agentsAnswers on your own site

    We set up AI shopping agents like Remark and Envive with your catalog and brand voice, so shoppers get answers before they buy.
