- One team owning SEO, paid, CRO, email and dev against a shared revenue target
- Ecommerce-only ICP - no B2B/SaaS split focus
- Tiered retainers from £500/mo to £8k+/mo depending on brand stage
- Direct senior operator access, not junior-account-manager led
- Not the right partner if you only need a one-off Shopify Plus rebuild with no ongoing marketing engagement
- Long-established Shopify Plus Partner with enterprise build track record
- Strong custom app development capability
- Recognised in the UK Shopify ecosystem
- Suited to large replatforming and complex Plus stack projects
- Build-led positioning means ongoing SEO/paid/CRO isn't the headline offer
- Enterprise-scale pricing floors don't fit smaller £10k-£30k/month brands
You already have a store that works and the constraint is 'how do we grow revenue across every channel next quarter,' not 'we need a new store.'
Your primary need is a Shopify Plus build, complex migration or custom app - and marketing is handled elsewhere.
The bottom line
Different products for different problems. Eastside Co's public positioning is a Shopify Plus development partner - a great fit if your bottleneck is the store itself. BeingEcom is a growth partner - a better fit if the store works and you need SEO, paid, CRO and email pulling in the same direction against a revenue P&L.
Many brands actually need both at different stages: a build partner to rebuild the store, then a growth partner to scale traffic and conversion. This comparison is based on publicly stated positioning - evaluate each directly for your specific brief.
