01 · It connects

One layer across everything you already use.

Shopify, Meta, Google, your stock, your email, your returns. Read-only to start. Nothing to install, nothing you stop using.

02 · It reads

At 07:00 the whole business has been read.

Every source checked against your real orders, plus seventeen checks for the faults that have cost money before.

03 · It hands over

Four numbers. Three decisions. Five minutes.

The routine fixes are already made. What is left needs a person, and that person is you.

The studio

One photo in. A month of ads out. The numbers pick the winner.

We make the ads too: stills, motion, customer-style and type. Each one runs against the others on your real orders, and the winner gets the budget.

Taken on a phone, in a hurry, flash on. That is enough to start.

Monday afternoon

We rebuild the light and the scene.

Same mug, same shape, same glaze. Everything around it is made for the feed.

Wednesday

It goes live, and gets measured.

Against your other ads, on your real orders. If it loses, it goes.

Five minutes with coffee. Then your day.

The ads that needed pausing are paused. The new ones are waiting for a yes. You read four numbers and make three decisions, and the rest of the morning is yours.

Why it works

A digital team that never clocks off.

Behind the one person you talk to is a team of AI workers, each with one job, running through the night. That is how you get the output of a department for the price of a part-time hire.

What we run

Start with ads. The same layer runs the rest.

Your ads, run every day.

Meta and Google, including Shopping and Performance Max. Money moves to the products that actually make you a profit, and away from the ones that don't.

  • Budget moved daily to what sells
  • Ads paused the moment stock runs out
  • Old prices and broken links caught before customers see them

Waits for you: every budget change

Control

Yes, some of this is AI. Here is exactly where it stops.

The machine
  • Reads every source, every morning
  • Counts your orders against what the platforms claim
  • Pauses an ad quoting a price that no longer exists
  • Drafts the ads, the emails and the replies
A person
  • Decides the strategy, and what a finding means
  • Approves every ad, email and reply before a customer sees it
  • Signs off every budget change
  • Talks to you, and answers for all of it

Where your ad money really goes.

Give us read-only access to Meta and Google. A person reads every campaign against your real orders and writes down what is working, what is wasting money, and the first six things we would change. It is yours to keep, whatever you decide.

  • £5,800Working: products that sell above their break-even
  • £1,300Products that lose money once returns are counted

Questions

What people ask before they say yes.

What is in the free check?
67 automatic checks on your shop’s website: how you show up in Google and AI search, trust signals, how easy it is to buy, speed and tracking basics, and repeat-customer set-up. The report is emailed in minutes. The ad account audit is separate, done by a person, and needs read-only access.
How quickly will I see something change?
Tracking and obvious waste in the first week. Structure and creative in the first month. A trend you can trust, two to three months. Anyone promising faster is selling.
Are the ads on this page real?
The brand is invented, so no client is shown without asking. The images and motion were made with the same tools and the same process we use for client work, and chosen by a person.
What does the layer connect to?
Whatever you already run: usually Shopify, Meta, Google Ads, GA4 and your email platform, plus stock and returns wherever they live, spreadsheets included. Read-only to start.
What if I already have an agency?
Take the free audit anyway. It is read-only, nobody has to know, and it will tell you whether they are doing a good job. If they are, we will say so.
Not an online store?
The layer does not care what you sell. Clinics, trades and B2B firms that sell by enquiry are a natural fit. See how it works for you, or email us and we will say honestly whether it fits.
