If you want to work with better ecom clients, here’s the harsh truth:
They’re not coming to you.
You have to go to them.
But not with cold DMs, lame PDF downloads, or a “do you need help with your CRO?” outreach.
You need a smarter system. One that’s specific, repeatable, and doesn’t feel like you’re begging.
Here’s how to build one in 4 easy steps…
1. Start With BuiltWith (Yes, Really)
Most agencies start with vibes:
“We want to work with fashion brands doing £10m+.”
Cool. So does everyone else.
BuiltWith is your friend.
Use it to search for brands using Shopify Plus, Recharge, Klaviyo, or whatever tech stack aligns with your offer.
Filter by:
Region (UK, US, wherever you're focused)
Traffic or estimated revenue
Tech signals (e.g. recently added Shopify Plus)
Export that list. Clean it up. You now have your Ideal Client Profile in spreadsheet form.
2. Upload That List to LinkedIn
You know what LinkedIn loves?
A nice clean matched audience.
Take that BuiltWith list and upload the domain names into LinkedIn Ads.
You’re not advertising blindly, you’re targeting just the brands you care about.
Next: layer on job titles.
Think:
Head of Ecommerce
Director of Digital
VP Growth
Head of Operations
CRM Specialist
Founder/CEO (for smaller brands)
Now you’re not advertising to “people who like ecommerce.”
You’re advertising to decision-makers at companies you actually want to work with.
