Blended MER target
We set a blended MER target from your margins (healthy DTC is 3 to 5x at scale) and manage every channel to it.
CAC ceiling guardrail
Your CAC ceiling is the single most important guardrail in growth mode; we scale spend up to it, never past it.
Contribution margin focus
We track contribution margin per order (revenue minus COGS, shipping, fees) so growth is profit, not just volume.
AOV growth
Bundles, upsells, and free-ship thresholds lift AOV, which improves ROAS and margin at the campaign level.
LTV & repeat revenue
Retention and LTV by cohort let you spend more to acquire than competitors and still stay profitable.
Incrementality & attribution
Server-side tracking and blended reporting (not platform-inflated ROAS) so you know what actually drives profit.

Questions DTC founders ask us
Do you only work with ecommerce brands?
Yes. We focus exclusively on DTC ecommerce and Shopify brands, so our creative, tracking, margin models, and playbooks are built for online stores, not generic lead gen.
What ad budget do I need to work with you?
Most clients spend at least $15k/month across paid channels (typically $50k to $1M+/mo in store revenue). Below that, the free audit will tell you whether paid is the right next step, we won’t push you to scale before the unit economics work.
How fast will I see results?
You’ll get audit findings in 48 hours. Expect a restructure and creative testing in the first 30 days, profitable winners by days 30 to 60, and a clear scale plan by day 90. We never guarantee a specific ROAS or revenue number, any agency that promises “4x ROAS” or “$1M in 90 days” is a red flag.
How do you measure profit, not just ROAS?
We optimize to blended ROAS (MER), contribution margin, and CAC, built on your real COGS, shipping, and fees, using server-side tracking and tools like Triple Whale. Platform-reported ROAS overstates results, so we manage to numbers you can actually bank.
Are there long-term contracts?
No. We work month to month with no lock-in, and you keep full ownership of your ad accounts and data. We’d rather earn your business with results than hold it with a contract.
Do you make the ad creative too?
Yes, and it’s essential, creative is 70 to 80% of ecommerce ad performance. Our in-house team produces statics, UGC, and video and tests new angles weekly. An agency that asks you to supply all creative is a red flag.
Which channels do you actually run?
We run Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google and Shopping, and TikTok, plus email and SMS, then weight the mix toward wherever your store scales most profitably on a blended basis.
Do you handle email, CRO, and AOV too?
Yes. Beyond paid ads we run Klaviyo email and SMS, CRO, and AOV work (bundles, upsells, thresholds), because profitable DTC scale needs the whole funnel, not just acquisition.
Do you work with US and UK DTC brands?
Yes. We work with DTC ecommerce and Shopify brands across the US, UK, and other English-speaking markets.
What makes you different from other ecommerce agencies?
We manage to profit (blended MER and contribution margin), not platform ROAS; senior ecommerce buyers on every account; weekly in-house creative; full funnel including retention and AOV; and transparent reporting, with no lock-in.
How much does an ecommerce performance marketing agency cost?
Most ecommerce retainers run $3,000 to $15,000 per month, or 10 to 20% of ad spend, depending on channels and scope, separate from your ad budget. A four-person in-house team costs $300k+ a year; an agency gives you senior buyers, in-house creative, and analysts for a fraction of that. Clear scope before anything starts.
Should I hire an agency or build in-house?
An agency, for most DTC brands under ~$10M in revenue. One in-house hire is stretched across paid, creative, email, and analytics and takes months to ramp; an agency gives you a senior buyer plus an in-house creative team and full tracking for less than a single senior salary, productive in weeks.
How do you handle attribution and tracking?
We set up server-side tracking and use blended reporting (Triple Whale or Northbeam), and we are honest about incrementality, so your numbers reflect real, bankable revenue rather than double-counted platform ROAS.
Who is my point of contact day to day?
You work with a dedicated senior ecommerce buyer and a live dashboard, with a weekly written report so you always know how spend is performing against profit.
What is an ecommerce performance marketing agency?
An ecommerce performance marketing agency scales DTC and online stores profitably through paid media, measured on real business outcomes rather than platform-reported numbers. At Optimize Goal that means full-funnel paid social on Meta and TikTok, Google and Shopping, in-house performance creative, email and SMS, CRO, and AOV work, all managed to blended ROAS (MER), contribution margin, and CAC. The difference from a generic agency is the lens: we optimize to the profit you can bank, not the inflated ROAS your ad platforms report.
Why blended MER beats platform ROAS for ecommerce
Platform ROAS double-counts: Meta and Google each claim the same order, so the numbers look great while the bank balance does not move. Blended ROAS (also called MER, marketing efficiency ratio) divides total revenue by total marketing spend, the honest picture. A healthy DTC MER is roughly 3 to 5x at scale; below 2x you are losing money, and at $250k+/month it is the only metric that reflects true business health. We pair it with contribution margin (revenue minus COGS, shipping, fees and returns) and a CAC ceiling, the single most important guardrail when scaling, so growth is always profitable, not just bigger.
Why DTC brands choose Optimize Goal
Every account is run by a senior ecommerce buyer, backed by an in-house creative team (creative is 70 to 80% of ad performance), and managed to profit rather than vanity ROAS. We grow AOV with bundles and upsells, grow LTV with retention so you can afford to acquire, and report blended MER and contribution margin every week. We work month to month with a 30-day exit, you keep full ownership of your accounts, creative, and data, and we never promise a guaranteed ROAS. The goal is simple: profitable, scalable revenue you can actually bank.
