What is usually happening
You are already paying for traffic.
You have campaigns running. Customers are visiting your website. Your team is producing content. Agencies are reporting activity.
But revenue is not growing as efficiently as it should.
The problem is often not getting more visitors.
It is what happens after they arrive.
Customers drop out because:
- Landing pages do not match what they expected.
- Product pages do not answer buying questions.
- Trust signals are missing.
- Mobile experiences create friction.
- Checkout creates unnecessary hesitation.
- Tracking does not clearly show where revenue is being lost.
Every ecommerce business has points where potential revenue disappears.
The challenge is finding the leaks that matter most.
Common symptoms
- Website traffic is increasing but sales are not following.
- Paid advertising costs are rising while profitability is falling.
- Conversion rate is lower than competitors.
- Customers view products but do not add to basket.
- Basket abandonment is higher than expected.
- Marketing teams cannot agree on what is limiting growth.
- Analytics shows numbers but not clear answers.
- The business keeps making website changes without knowing which problems actually matter.
Why it matters commercially
Most businesses try to solve ecommerce growth problems by buying more traffic.
But if the buying journey is leaking revenue, more traffic simply creates more wasted opportunity.
For example:
A store generating £100,000 per month with a 2% conversion rate:
Improving conversion to 2.5% creates:
- 25% more orders from the same traffic.
- More revenue without increasing advertising spend.
- Better return from every future visitor.
Unlike increasing acquisition spend, fixing conversion improves the value of all future traffic.
What to fix first
The biggest mistake is trying to fix everything at once.
Ecommony identifies the highest-value constraint first.
We review:
- Traffic quality — are the right visitors arriving?
- Landing pages — does the page match customer intent?
- Product journeys — are customers given enough confidence to buy?
- Trust and reassurance — are concerns about price, quality, delivery or risk being addressed?
- Checkout — where are customers abandoning?
- Tracking — can you confidently see what is working?
- Retention — are opportunities being lost after the first purchase?

Questions this page answers
What is ecommerce revenue leakage?
Revenue leakage is where potential customers are lost between discovering your business and completing a purchase.
How do I know if my ecommerce funnel is leaking?
Common signs include traffic growth without matching revenue growth, expensive acquisition, weak conversion rates and customers abandoning before purchase.
Is this just a CRO audit?
No. CRO is part of the picture. The review also considers traffic quality, tracking, acquisition, product journeys, checkout and retention.
Should we spend more on advertising first?
Not necessarily. If the buying journey is inefficient, increasing traffic can increase wasted spend.
How much revenue could we recover?
The opportunity depends on your traffic, conversion rate and customer journey. Even small improvements can create significant additional revenue because they improve every future visitor.
