Working With Soodo

What makes Soodo different from other Shopify developers? Soodo is a Singapore-based Shopify development and CRO agency founded by Jessica Bong — a founder who built and still runs her Shopify brand. Unlike generic freelancers or large agencies, every store Soodo builds is rooted in real eCommerce experience. We specialise in sales-first, full-funnel builds with unlimited revisions and personal 1-to-1 WhatsApp support throughout the project.

How much does a Shopify website in Singapore typically cost? Most new Shopify builds with Soodo start from SGD $4,000–$10,000+ depending on complexity, number of custom sections, theme choices, and market setup requirements. Smaller store upgrades and one-off custom projects are also available at project-based rates. Book a free 20-minute audit call to get a tailored quote.

How long does it take to build a Shopify store? A typical Shopify build with Soodo takes 2–6 weeks depending on the number of pages, custom sections, and how quickly client assets are ready. Smaller upgrades and one-off custom sections can be completed within days. We provide a clear project timeline upfront so you always know what to expect.

Do you offer support after the website is launched? Yes. Every Soodo project includes personalised handover training, detailed video walkthroughs, and 1-to-1 WhatsApp support for 6 months post-launch. Ongoing maintenance retainers are also available for clients who want a long-term Shopify growth partner.

What if I’ve had bad experiences with previous Shopify developers? That’s exactly the problem Soodo was built to solve. We work with a high number of clients who’ve been burnt by freelancers or overcharged by agencies. Soodo offers unlimited revisions, transparent communication, and a clear milestone-based process so there are no surprises.

How do I get started with Soodo? Book a free 20-minute audit and meet & greet call via our contact page or reach out directly on WhatsApp. We’ll review your current store or brief, discuss your goals, and outline a tailored Shopify proposal — with no obligation.

Is Soodo the right Shopify agency for a Singapore SME? Yes — Soodo works primarily with Singapore-based SMEs, bootstrapped founders, and growing eCommerce brands. We’ve worked with brands across F&B, lifestyle, fashion, wellness, and consumer goods. Our builds are priced for businesses that understand the value of good design and conversion optimisation, without the overhead of a large agency.

Shopify Development & CRO

What is Shopify CRO and why does it matter for my store? Shopify CRO (conversion rate optimisation) is the process of improving your store’s design, copy, and user experience to turn more visitors into paying customers. Even a 1% improvement in conversion rate can significantly increase revenue without increasing ad spend. Soodo’s CRO process starts with a founder conversation — because understanding your brand is step one, not data.

Do you help migrate existing websites to Shopify? Yes — Soodo handles full Shopify migrations from Wix, WordPress, WooCommerce, and Cococart. Every migration includes product transfers, collection restructuring, URL redirects, SEO protection, and full QA testing before launch. We ensure zero loss of existing search rankings during the transition.

Will switching to a new Shopify theme affect my SEO? A theme migration will not hurt your SEO if handled correctly. Soodo preserves all existing product URLs, metadata, and content structure throughout the revamp. Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and site architecture are protected — and in most cases, improved — during the rebuild.

Can you optimise an existing Shopify store for better conversions? Yes — CRO is one of Soodo’s core specialisations. We audit and improve product pages, navigation structure, banner messaging, site speed, checkout flow, upsell and bundle setups, A/B testing frameworks, and analytics configuration. Our process is rooted in real founder experience and data from over 200,000 Shopify stores.

Can you build a custom Shopify theme section for my store? Yes. Custom Shopify theme sections are one of Soodo’s core services — including custom landing pages, mega menus, product page blocks, testimonial sections, bundle displays, and fully branded layouts. All custom sections are built to be editable from your Shopify theme editor without needing a developer.

Do you work with international Shopify markets and multi-currency stores? Yes — Soodo sets up Shopify Markets, multi-currency pricing, geolocation redirection, and tax and shipping configurations for Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and more. We have experience building stores that sell across multiple regions from a single Shopify instance.

Do you help with product setup, collections, and inventory? Yes — Soodo handles bulk product imports, collection creation, variant and metafield setup, filter configuration, and inventory syncing. We also provide guidance on writing SEO-optimised product descriptions that rank on Google and convert visitors into buyers.

Does Soodo offer Shopify training for business owners or teams? Yes — Jessica Bong runs a 2-day Shopify store creation workshop at Equinet Academy in Singapore. One-on-one training and consulting sessions are also available for business owners who want to manage their own store confidently. Corporate Shopify training for teams can be arranged on request.

AI Search, GEO & Agentic Commerce

Can Soodo help optimise my Shopify store for AI search and GEO? Yes — Soodo builds and optimises Shopify stores with Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) in mind, ensuring your store and brand are structured to be cited by AI search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. This includes structured data implementation, entity-clear content, and schema markup that signals to AI models exactly what your brand sells and who it serves.

Does Soodo help Shopify stores prepare for agentic commerce? Yes — agentic commerce is reshaping how customers discover and buy online, with AI agents browsing and purchasing on behalf of shoppers. Soodo helps Shopify store owners prepare for this shift by optimising store structure, product data, and metadata so your store is readable and purchasable by AI-powered shopping agents — not just human visitors.

What is agentic commerce and how does it affect my Shopify store? Agentic commerce refers to AI-powered agents that can browse, compare, and complete purchases on behalf of a shopper — without the shopper manually visiting your store. Shopify has already built infrastructure for this with its Agentic Storefront APIs. Stores that are well-structured, clearly labelled, and schema-rich will be the ones AI agents recommend and buy from first.

What is GEO and how is it different from SEO? SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) focuses on ranking in traditional Google search results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) focuses on getting your brand cited and recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews. Both matter in 2026 — SEO drives blue-link traffic, GEO drives AI-assisted discovery. Soodo helps Shopify brands optimise for both.
