Note: this analysis uses only Shopify’s own session and order data. It does not include paid-channel spend, cost, or ROAS (Google Ads, Meta, TikTok Ads), and does not pull Search Console keyword data — those live outside the Shopify Admin API. Track paid-channel performance in your ad platforms directly.
