About ShopBuild

Real ecommerce advice from someone who runs stores.

ShopBuild was created by Jose Garcia to help ecommerce founders understand what is working, what is not working and what needs to be fixed across their Shopify store, SEO, ads, content and customer journey.

Audit first. Action plan second. Implementation when needed.

The goal is not to sell you a cheap store build. The goal is to review your setup properly, give clear action items and quote implementation only if you want ShopBuild to action the work.

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Jose Garcia.

I am an ecommerce operator, Shopify store owner, consultant and digital marketer with practical experience building, managing and improving multiple online stores across different industries.

I do not approach ecommerce from theory only. I own and operate Shopify stores myself, which means I understand the real challenges behind product pages, collections, SEO, paid ads, customer trust, shipping expectations, suppliers, fulfilment, promotions, customer service and day-to-day store management.

My ecommerce work includes projects and stores such as The Gift Company, OZMedskin, Ozmedica, The Perfume Company, CameraHUB and The Pet Goods Co. These projects span gifting, skincare, fragrance, pet accessories, camera gear and creator products.

I hold a Bachelor of Business and I am currently completing my MBA in Marketing at the Australian Institute of Business. I have also completed Google’s Digital Marketing and Ecommerce Certificate, which supports my practical experience across SEO, paid ads, ecommerce strategy, analytics and customer acquisition.

Bachelor of Business MBA in Marketing Google Digital Marketing Shopify Store Owner Ecommerce Operator Logistics Background

My background also includes years of experience in logistics, which gives me a practical understanding of shipping, fulfilment, supplier coordination and operational pressure. This matters because a successful ecommerce store is not only about design or ads. It needs to be structured properly from the backend to the customer experience.

My approach

I believe in clear audits, honest feedback and actionable recommendations. During a consultation, I review the real setup of your store, identify the issues and explain what should be prioritised.

If you want the recommended work actioned after the audit, ShopBuild can provide a separate implementation quote based on the scope required. This may include Shopify updates, SEO improvements, content changes, product page fixes, ads setup, tracking support or coordination with trusted technical providers.

The goal is simple: give you clarity before you spend more money on apps, ads, agencies, developers or website changes.

What I help with

Clear ecommerce advice with practical action items.

ShopBuild is designed for store owners who need more than a generic consultation. The goal is to review the real setup, identify the issues and give you a clear plan.

Store audits

Review your Shopify structure, homepage, product pages, collections, navigation, customer journey, trust signals and conversion issues.

SEO and content

Identify opportunities across titles, meta descriptions, product copy, collection content, internal links, blog strategy and search visibility.

Google and Meta Ads

Review ad structure, landing pages, Google Merchant Center readiness, campaign direction, tracking setup and where ad spend may be wasted.

Dropshipping guidance

Help you understand product structure, supplier considerations, shipping expectations, margins, store trust and how to avoid a generic-looking store.

Implementation support

After the audit, ShopBuild can provide a separate quote to action the recommended fixes if you want support with the work.

Ongoing advisory

For businesses that need continued ecommerce guidance, campaign planning, store improvements and practical support by agreement.

How ShopBuild works

Audit first. Action plan second. Implementation when needed.

Many ecommerce owners spend money on ads, apps, agencies or developers before they understand what is actually wrong. ShopBuild helps you get clear first.

Book the fit check

Start with the free 15-minute ecommerce fit check to confirm your current stage and recommended next step.

Review the setup

If a paid audit is the next step, we review your Shopify store, structure, content, SEO, ads, customer journey and marketing setup.

Receive action items

You receive clear recommendations on what to fix, what to prioritise and what may require technical support.

Quote the work

If you want ShopBuild to action the plan, implementation support can be quoted separately based on the scope.

Why ShopBuild is different

Not another vague ecommerce program.

ShopBuild is for founders who want a practical second opinion, a real audit and clear direction. No hype, no unrealistic promises and no pressure to commit to a full build before understanding what your store actually needs.

  • Hands-on ecommerce experience across real online stores
  • Owned and operated Shopify stores, not just client theory
  • Business and marketing education behind the advice
  • Clear diagnosis before implementation
  • Actionable fixes instead of generic advice
  • Support across Shopify, SEO, ads, content and customer journey
  • Optional implementation quote after the audit
  • No guaranteed sales claims or unrealistic shortcuts
