Agency only, Needed to Build Automated Dropshipping Sneaker Store (Spocket, Zendesk, Amazon, SEO & Multi-Platform Ads) - 01/11/2025 23:44 EDT

Job ID: 39939640

Budget: £250 – £750 GBP

I am looking to set up an automated online sneaker and footwear store using shopify(preferred) or wix. The store will be inspired by major trainers, sneaker retailers such as Footlocker; based on trending, winning and drop-shipping research for product selection (Sell the trend, AutoDS, dropship.io etc)to select the products for the best selling footwear in the UK. The agency will be responsible for uploading, integrating, and syncing them with all connected sales channels. I already have the domain and my company is registered, so the website will be built using my existing domain and business setup.

The business will use Spocket for dropshipping, Zendesk for automated customer service, and Amazon as an additional sales platform. The goal is to build a professional, conversion-optimized website that runs efficiently with minimal manual work while generating consistent sales through strong SEO and multi-platform advertising.

Role of Expert:
1. Website Design and Customization
• Design and build a user-friendly, visually appealing website that reflects a clean, modern brand identity.
• Set up product pages for up to 200 sneaker and footwear products, categorised properly by brand, size, color, and other filters.
• Ensure a smooth, intuitive checkout process.
• Optimize the site for both desktop and mobile users.

2. Product Selection and Integration
• My recommended selection of products is a must and I will personally select a few products every month if necessary 
• You will upload and integrate these products through Spocket, ensuring descriptions, images, and pricing are correct.
• Configure Spocket to manage inventory, pricing, and order fulfillment automatically.
• Ensure all products are sourced from suppliers that can deliver to customers within 5 days. The Agency should verify shipping times before adding products to the store.

3. Integration with Dropshipping, Customer Service, and Amazon
• Integrate Spocket for sourcing and fulfillment.
• Integrate Zendesk (or a similar tool) to automate customer service inquiries, returns, and support.
• Set up or connect an Amazon Seller account so products listed on the Wix store are automatically synced and sold on Amazon as well, with shared inventory and fulfillment through Spocket.
• Ensure payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe, credit/debit cards) are fully functional and secure.

4. SEO and Marketing Setup
• Implement full on-page SEO, including meta titles, descriptions, image alt tags, and structured site URLs.
• Submit the site to Google Search Console and optimize for relevant product names keywords (trainers, footwear, streetwear, etc.).
• Set up tracking and advertising integration across multiple platforms:
– Facebook Ads and Instagram Shopping
– Twitter Ads
– Microsoft Bing Ads
– Google Ads (top search placement)
– YouTube Ads
• Advise on strategies to increase traffic, optimize conversions, and maximize sales. I will decide each month how much to spend on marketing campaigns; the freelancer’s role is to ensure the website and integrations are ready to support ad campaigns and to provide guidance on effective targeting and setup.

5. Ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring
• Regularly monitor website functionality, loading speeds, and integrations.
• Ensure Spocket and Amazon remain properly synced.
• Monitor Zendesk automation and customer service efficiency.
• Provide weekly reports on updates, performance, and any adjustments made.

What I Expect the Experts to Not Do:
• Order fulfillment: Managed automatically through Spocket.
• Manual customer service: Automated via Zendesk.
• Marketing management: Only required once a month or during initial setup unless otherwise agreed.

Budget and Compensation:
* Initial Setup Cost: £300 - £600, depending on design complexity and integrations.
* SEO and Marketing Monthly (to be decided)
* Ongoing Monthly Maintenance: £75- £100 for monitoring, updates, and minor tweaks.

Timeline:
Initial Setup (2–3 weeks):
•
Week 1: Design, homepage, category pages, product page templates.
•
Week 2: Integrations (Spocket, Amazon, Zendesk, payment gateways), product uploads, initial testing.
• Week 3: SEO setup, multi-platform ad integration (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Bing, Google, YouTube), final testing, tweaks, and handover.

Ongoing Maintenance: 
• Regular updates and monitoring of integrations.
• Monthly performance reports.

Summary for the Experts:
