How IPLEX rebuilt Canton Aquatics’ Shopify experience, fixed conversion leaks, and scaled paid traffic without increasing ad spend.

THE BRAND

Canton Aquatics is a specialist aquarium retailer with a complex product catalog and strong offline expertise. The opportunity was clear: demand existed, but the Shopify store was not converting that demand efficiently.

WHAT WAS HOLDING GROWTH BACK

Our audit uncovered four major issues:

  • Broken and inconsistent mobile experience

  • Slow pages and weak product discovery

  • High checkout abandonment

  • Paid traffic landing on pages that were not built to convert

The issue wasn’t traffic volume. It was what happened after the click.

THE STRATEGIC DECISION

Instead of increasing ad spend, we fixed the conversion system first.

  • Stabilize the store experience

  • Improve product discovery

  • Reduce friction in the path to purchase

  • Align paid traffic with conversion-ready pages

WHAT WE CHANGED

THE RESULTS

  • Sales Growth — +690%

  • Revenue Growth in First 20 Days — +267%

  • Ad Spend — No Increase

  • Timeframe — 90 Days

Growth came from improving conversion efficiency before scaling acquisition.

THE INSIGHT

Growth doesn’t come from more traffic. It comes from fixing what happens after the click.

Once the store could convert efficiently, acquisition became easier to scale.
