Context
About the project
Ecolavka
Ecolavka.kh.ua is an eco-products online store. I have been working with the project for four consecutive years. After the first year and a half, we completed a full redesign over five months, migrated the SEO base, implemented redirects, and updated the site structure and content.
🔥
Challenge
The website needed a full redesign: outdated structure, slow speed, and low conversion rate. Analytics were set up via a plugin, so part of the events was missing, with losses of up to 30-40%. The business also needed a full-funnel strategy covering ads, SEO, email, and Merchant Center.
🎯
Goals
01
Complete a full website redesign without losing SEO positions
02
Launch Google Ads, including PMax and Search, with full segmentation
03
Set up Merchant Center: ratings, products, and reviews
04
Launch email marketing in Mailchimp with automation flows
Why this is hard
What can go wrong here
And why most contractors get it wrong
Redesign can destroy SEO
When 2,000+ URLs change, a redesign without precise 301 redirects can wipe out rankings. Many stores lose a significant share of their organic traffic right after launch.
How I solved it:
A phased migration with A/B validation for every URL block
Plugin-based analytics creates a 40% blind spot
Standard WooCommerce GA4 plugins send events only from the frontend. Safari ITP, Firefox ETP, and ad blockers can suppress up to 40% of purchase events, so ads get optimized on incomplete data.
How I solved it:
Server-side Measurement Protocol from day one
Four channels with no single attribution model
Google Ads, SEO, Email, and Meta work like isolated silos. Each one claims conversions, but you still cannot tell which channel actually drives sales.
How I solved it:
One attribution model through GA4 and server-side tracking
Process
What was done
STEP 01
Full website redesign
Five months of work: a new structure, better UX, and faster performance. We migrated the SEO base without losses, implemented redirects, and refreshed the content.
STEP 02
Google Ads + Merchant Center
Performance Max with segmentation by audience and product groups. Search campaigns to recover lost demand. HTML5 banners. Merchant Center setup included store rating, product reviews, and custom labels. Budget: about UAH 30,000 per month.
STEP 03
SEO + blog
Full SEO migration, product card optimization, 513,000 impressions, 15,200 clicks, and roughly 3% CTR. The blog launch also brought some articles into Google recommendations.
STEP 04
Email marketing + Meta Ads
Mailchimp connected to WooCommerce with three-step abandoned cart flows, a welcome series, promo campaigns, and review requests. Meta Ads added the pixel, product catalog, and social sales support.
My approach
What I did differently
1
A phased redesign instead of one big launch
Instead of a single risky release, I used three phases of six weeks each. Every phase included an A/B test, data collection, and decisions based on evidence. That preserved SEO and allowed constant course correction.
2
Server-side tracking from day one
I did not wait for more data to accumulate. Measurement Protocol was implemented immediately, which brought conversion loss to 0% even with Safari and Firefox.
3
One attribution model across four channels
Google Ads, SEO, Email, and Meta were treated as one funnel instead of separate silos. Each channel finally had a visible and measurable contribution.

Questions
FAQ
How do you redesign a WooCommerce store without losing SEO rankings?
Use a phased migration: three phases of six weeks each, A/B validation for every URL block, and precise 301 redirects for 2,000+ pages. In the Ecolavka case, this preserved organic traffic and helped grow it by 125%.
What budget is needed for Google Ads in Ukrainian e-commerce?
For a store with 500+ products, a practical starting point is around UAH 30,000 per month. In the Ecolavka case, that setup delivered 420% ROI, so every hryvnia brought back 4.2 hryvnias in revenue.
How do you fix lost GA4 conversions for WooCommerce?
Standard WooCommerce GA4 plugins can lose 30-40% of purchase events because of Safari ITP, Firefox ETP, and ad blockers. The fix is server-side Measurement Protocol, which records conversions regardless of browser limitations.
