100% Done-For-You CRO for Shopify (Plus) Brands

Higher RPV. Profitable scaling. Your funnel isn’t built for cold traffic, we fix that.

We scale 7+ figure DTC brands via the Ascended Scale Blueprint™: a full-funnel CRO approach combining high-converting listicles and storefronts with continuous A/B testing to maximize RPV, AOV, and ROAS.

Your funnel works with warm traffic. But cold? It collapses.

Scaling to new audiences breaks most funnels, not because your product isn’t great, but because your landing pages and test structure can’t keep up.

You don’t need more strategy. You need execution that drives revenue

    Outstanding performance
    We have been working together with Casper for a few months now and the results are outstandingly good. We see clear improvements in our conversion percentage and in our average order value. This comes from smart quick wins that have an immediate effect. Also with product launches and new sales moments we now get much more out of our campaigns.

THE FOUNDER

Built by someone who knows how to scale DTC

Ascended isn’t run by account managers or strategy consultants.
It’s led by a performance marketer who’s scaled cold traffic funnels from the inside out.

About Casper

I’ve spent the last 5 years deep in performance marketing, CRO and full-funnel strategy, backed by a Master’s in Marketing (Erasmus University) and hands-on experience building pages that actually convert.

I started Ascended to fix the exact problems I saw across scaling DTC brands:

  • Traffic wasted on generic pages
  • A/B tests without a plan
  • Founders stuck at €100K+ months with no scalable system

“Sending traffic to an unoptimized funnel is like paying for a billboard in the desert.”

Page Creation & Copy Strategy

Async Reporting & Reviews

You get clear updates, dashboards, and test results, delivered via Notion, Slack & Loom. No calls unless needed. No delays.

Scale What Works

Winning insights are compounded into your funnel, replacing the old with better-performing assets, every month.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Still wondering if this is the right move for your brand? Let’s clear it up.

Our average client sees a +31% increase in revenue per visitor within 6 months.
From €40K in added revenue from post-purchase funnels to 3–4% conversion rates on landing pages, our work is built to deliver measurable growth, not vanity metrics.

We implement the Ascended Scale Blueprint™ based on your current growth stage:

  • Conversion Storefront Setup: For brands under €100k/mo. We build the high-converting infrastructure needed to scale. By engineering your homepage, PDPs, and top-of-funnel listicles, we target higher awareness stages to warm up cold traffic and immediately boost CVR and AOV.
  • Full-Funnel Growth Partnership: For brands over €100k/mo. We act as your dedicated CRO department. Through psychological persona mapping and continuous A/B testing, we maximize RPV and stabilize ROAS to drive faster, more profitable scaling.

On our call, we’ll audit your funnel to determine which path delivers the highest ROI for your current stage.

Yes, fully. Every deliverable includes CRO strategy, copywriting, design and complete development. You don’t need to manage handovers or fill in any gaps. We build the whole thing, start to finish.

We start with a short 15-minute intro call to assess fit. If there’s alignment, we book a 30-minute strategy session where we outline a tailored CRO plan.

  • For landing page projects: pages go live within 10 business days.
  • For ongoing CRO clients: first wins typically come 2–3 weeks after the roadmap is finalized.

After the strategy & execution roadmap is in place, we focus on what drives growth:

  • Implementing A/B tests based on impact and urgency
  • Launching new pages when data shows clear opportunity to improve flow, relevance, or conversion
  • Prioritizing structured experimentation over guesswork
    Progress is shared via Slack, spreadsheets and monthly result calls to ensure alignment and iteration.

We work with Shopify and Shopify Plus brands doing €100K+ per month, led by ambitious teams who want to scale profitably and want a CRO partner who moves as fast as they do.

Here’s how we stand out:

  • Built for cold traffic: Most agencies optimize warm flows. We specialize in converting brand-new visitors.
  • Execution-first: We don’t send reports or play consultant. We build, launch and test fast.
  • Fully integrated team: Strategy, copy, design and dev all under one roof. No handovers, no dropped context.
  • Founder-led partnership: You work directly with a conversion expert, not layered account teams, to move faster, stay focused, and drive meaningful growth.
  • Proven results: We've helped 7-figure brands unlock 6+ figures in added revenue, and we only take on projects where we know we can drive real impact.
