How to Use AI to Unlock Better Ecommerce Insights Than Most Experts

Lately, I’ve been experimenting more with AI tools—and they’re getting seriously useful. Honestly, I think we’re getting close to the point where AI can deliver more value than many ecommerce or Shopify gurus.

Here’s a prompt that worked surprisingly well in ChatGPT (GPT-o3 and GPT-4o models), and you should definitely give it a try with your store:

The Prompt:

Act as an ecommerce conversion optimization & marketing specialist.

Goal: Increase [insert your store URL] revenue by 25% in Q3 2025 while keeping blended ROAS ≥ 5.

Uploaded files:

Google Ads spend, conversions, and keywords (CSV)
Facebook Ads performance (CSV)
WooCommerce or Shopify sales/export (CSV)
Google Analytics 4 traffic, channels, and pages (CSV)
Screenshots or recordings of homepage, collection, product, cart, and checkout (mobile & desktop)
Google Search Console data (CSV)

Deliverables:

Top 5 friction points hurting conversions or paid performance
3 test/fix ideas per issue, scored by impact and effort
Quick wins we can ship in 48h
30/60/90-day experiment roadmap
What’s not working in ads (copy, creatives, angles)
What to try next (campaigns, offers, audiences, landing pages)
Messaging suggestions based on user behavior and data

Format: Straight to the point. Numbered bullets. Actionable.

Why This Works:

The real power of this prompt comes from the data you include. I didn’t just export sales numbers—I included traffic and performance from GA4, Google Ads, Search Console and Meta. You can take it even further: add email performance, customer feedback, surveys, or heatmaps.

Tips to Get the Most Out of It:

🧠 Be clear about your goals.

For example: “Grow monthly sessions from 100 to 1,000 with a €50 budget.”

⚙️ Mention your skills or constraints.

If you’re experienced with Meta Ads, say so. If you don’t have a marketing budget, be honest about it.

🛠 Adjust the deliverables.

If your goal is traffic, don’t ask for conversion friction points.

🔁 Tweak and test the prompt.

You’ll likely need to adjust a few things based on your data or goals, but the results are surprisingly helpful.

Final Thought:

This one prompt gave me more actionable insights than most consultants or gurus. AI is leveling the playing field—and that’s exciting.
