Sales drop diagnosis service for ecommerce stores
Diagnosis service that finds why stores with traffic have near-zero orders across ads, site and listings.
Why it can work
- Sales collapses leave owners losing money with no clear cause.
- Owners cannot tell whether ads, site, or listings cause it.
- Steady traffic with falling orders points to a specific fault.
Watch out
- Owners may resist paying for diagnosis before fixes are clear.
- Causes vary widely, so a diagnosis may need custom work.
First moveWrite a diagnostic checklist covering ads, checkout and listings.

The job to be done
Diagnose sudden drops in store sales
