Your Profile, Your Leads: Weekly Shopexperts Summary

Slack recap + next steps

January 23, 2026

Hi everyone 👋

Quick weekly wrap-up with product updates, what we’re testing, and what to focus on next.

Shopexperts is Live

We quietly launched Shopexperts on our main domain this week. We’re still polishing and testing, but it’s ready to be shared publicly and announced to our list.

A reminder of how profiles work:

  • Clients can contact you directly through the platform or

  • Use your profile as a gateway to your website and other platforms
    Your listing is meant to amplify your entire online presence.

Analytics & Lead Tracking (Coming Very Soon)

We’re now tracking:

  • Profile visits

  • Leads

  • CTA clicks (including all website and external links)

  • Impressions in the directory

This data is being collected already, but it’s not yet visible in your dashboard. That will roll out soon.
Clients can already see lead records on their side, and all communication currently happens via email.

👉 Strong recommendation: test your lead flow from your listing so you know exactly what clients experience.
Chat, lead tracking UI, and richer lead data will be enabled next week.

⭐ Pro Listings & Trials

Everyone currently has Pro listing status.

What’s coming next:

  • 30-day Pro trials

  • 30 freelancer spots + 15 agency spots (with some flexibility for less crowded categories)

  • First phase: leads prioritized to this group

  • After that: new spots open weekly

Pricing after trial:

  • $199/mo — Pro Freelancer

  • $499/mo — Pro Agency

Free listings will still exist with:

  • 1 main service category

  • 2–3 subcategories

  • Reviews + lead form active

  • Fewer enhanced elements (stories, services, app expertise, etc.)

If you haven’t yet:

  • Fill out all listing fields

  • Gather at least 2–3 reviews

Now’s a great time.

📍 Local Leads: Google Places

If you benefit from local service leads, invest time in your Google Places listing.

We’ll soon introduce listing editor elements designed to help agencies rank in the Map Pack (top 3 local results). Your shopexperts listing will reinforce relevance to your target city.

Product & Directory Updates

A few smaller but important updates:

  • You can now add your Shopify Partner Directory link in the editor
    (We’ll also add Storetasker, Clutch, and Google Places links)

  • If you have a Shopify Partner tier, you can edit or add it in the editor

  • Search now includes App Expert category pages

  • Country lists are now ordered by merchant volume

  • Homepage hero & featured experts will rotate weekly

  • Priority goes to experts with at least one review

All of the above (plus a new app partner opportunity) are covered here:

Thanks again to everyone who spent time building out profiles over the last two months — it made this launch possible.


More updates soon, and I’ll keep these summaries coming every Friday.

Let’s go 🚀
