Hi, I’m Tessa

Your Shopify store, visible in a new market

I make your store easy to find, and convincing, in your future customers’ own language: local SEO, Shopify Markets and product feeds in French, Dutch, German or English. So you show up in Google and in the answers of AI assistants.

For Shopify stores that sell in a single market today.

Why it matters

Selling abroad takes more than translating your site

A German or French shopper doesn’t search, compare or decide the way a Dutch one does. Here is what I put in place so your store really speaks to them.

Get found in Google

Keywords people actually use there, a clear page structure, titles and structured data: your store ranks for the real searches of the new market.

Get mentioned by AI assistants

I test your queries in AI assistants and adapt content and data so your store shows up in their answers.

Sell in your customer’s language

Copy, product pages, Shopify Markets and Google Shopping feed that all line up: a store that builds trust from the very first visit.

What I offer

Three ways to work together

Start with an audit, then move forward at your own pace.

To start

Visibility audit

From €490

A report on one target market: local keywords, competitors, a test of 20 queries in AI assistants, your product feed and quick wins. Then a 45-minute debrief together. The fee is credited toward the project if you continue within 30 days.

Book the audit
To launch

Market launch

From €2,500, fixed price

Your 30 to 50 key pages and products localized, the SEO structure, Shopify Markets set up, a Google Shopping feed, your core Klaviyo flows and a 90-day action plan.

To keep growing

Monthly growth

From €900 per month

Content, feed upkeep, Google Ads and Shopping, your Klaviyo campaigns, and a monthly report that includes your visibility in AI assistants. Optional: a variable share on the extra revenue from the new market.

Your emails too, in the language of the market

Klaviyo is my tool of choice: I duplicate and adapt your existing flows and campaigns so they genuinely speak to your new market, without starting from scratch.

Results

What this looks like, in practice

A few anonymized examples, drawn from the stores I support day to day.

Traffic that started at zero

On one of the stores I support, organic traffic went from close to zero to tens of thousands of visits a month, in under two years.

Revenue multiplied by 4

On another store, yearly revenue more than quadrupled within a year, driven by the market launch and local SEO.

Keywords that keep climbing

On a store that was already well established, the number of ranking keywords keeps growing year over year, with a domain authority among the strongest of the stores I support.

Figures rounded and anonymized to protect client confidentiality.

About

Dutch, based in France, at home in four languages

I’m Tessa, originally from the Netherlands and now living in the south of France. For more than ten years I’ve worked on SEO, content and localization for online stores, in Dutch (my mother tongue), French, English and German.

Today I manage localization for a network of European Shopify stores. I write or review every text myself, in the language of the market: that’s what makes a store feel local rather than translated.

  • Strategy first, never random content
  • Localization, not translation
  • Clear, measurable impact

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you only work with Shopify?

Shopify is my specialty. Depending on the project, I can also work on WooCommerce or WordPress, after an initial conversation.

What does the audit include?

A report on one target market: local keywords, competitors, a test of 20 queries in AI assistants, product feed issues and quick wins, followed by a 45-minute debrief.

What happens after the audit?

You decide. If you go ahead with the market launch within 30 days, the audit fee is credited. If not, the report is yours to keep.

How does the variable share work?

It’s optional and added to a monthly fee. It applies only to the increase in revenue from the new market, above a baseline agreed in advance, with a monthly cap and shared access to your figures. Everything is written into the contract.

Do you write the copy yourself?

Yes. Tools help me prepare and check, but every published text is written or reviewed by me, in the language of the market.

Something else?

Translation or SEO outside Shopify?

I also take on translation work (Dutch, English, German) and one-off SEO projects, outside the Shopify path. Email me to talk it through.
