E-commerce in Australia
Australian e-commerce brands don’t need another agency that runs one channel and calls it growth. They need a partner that owns the whole system, store, ads, marketplace, search, email and creative, and reports on the only number that matters: profitable revenue.
That’s how we’re built. Geelong HQ, senior-led, e-commerce specialists, serving brands in every state from fashion and beauty to homewares and supplements. Full-stack, in-house, no fragmented vendor management.
Where we work. The national practice runs from Geelong and serves every capital and most regional centres. Read the local pages for the market-specific view: ecommerce agency Melbourne, ecommerce agency Sydney, ecommerce agency Brisbane and Queensland, and ecommerce Geelong, where the team actually sits. Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and regional brands are served remotely on the same terms.
By vertical. Some categories have their own playbook, and we’ve written them down: homewares, fashion and supplements.
Geelong HQ, serving Australia and every state remotely and on the ground. One senior team, no account-manager relay.

Frequently asked questions
Where in Australia do you work?
Everywhere. We’re Geelong-based and run brands in every state: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional, remotely and, where it helps, in person.
What makes you different from other Australian agencies?
Full-stack in-house delivery, senior-led engagements, and e-commerce specialisation, plus a reporting discipline built around profit, not vanity metrics. One team owns the whole growth system.
What size brand do you work with?
From launch to eight figures. Programs are scoped to your revenue stage, not sold as a fixed retainer.
How do I start?
Book a free growth audit. Within about 48 hours you’ll have a custom proposal and an honest read on whether we can move your numbers.
How much does an ecommerce agency cost in Australia?
Across the Australian market, serious e-commerce retainers run from roughly $2,500 to $10,000+ a month, and most agencies will not say which end you are at until after a sales call. Ours is a flat monthly fee set by revenue band and stated plainly on the audit call. Never a percentage of ad spend or of sales, and never a markup on media.
Is Sellevate Australian-owned?
Yes. Headquartered in Geelong, Victoria, and owned by the people who do the work. Several agencies ranking for this search are UK or US companies with an Australian landing page; we are not one of them.
Do you guarantee results?
We make one commitment no other agency ranking for this search makes: everything in your build plan is live within 90 days, or you stop paying us until it is. After that it is month to month, so we earn the fee every month or you leave. We do not guarantee revenue figures, because anyone who does is guessing with your money.
How to choose an ecommerce growth agency in Australia
Search this phrase and you will find the same three or four agencies at the top, each showing a wall of logos and a percentage: 300% ROI, 535% revenue growth, 720% month-on-month. None of them tells you the starting number, the timeframe, or what was spent to get there. A 535% lift from a store doing A$1,000 a month is A$6,350. This page is the checklist we would want if we were the one buying, and it applies to us as much as to anyone else.
Six questions that sort agencies quickly
Where does the number start? Any result without a baseline, a timeframe and a spend figure is decoration. Ask for all three. Who actually does the work? Sales call with a director, delivery by a junior you never meet, is the standard model at scale. Ask who will be in your ad account on a Tuesday. How is the fee calculated? A percentage of ad spend rewards the agency for spending more; a percentage of sales rewards revenue at any margin. A flat fee is the only structure where the agency earns by making you more profitable. Do they mark up media? What you pay Google and Meta should be what Google and Meta receive. What is the exit? Twelve-month lock-ins exist because results are uncertain. Month-to-month exists because the agency expects to earn it. Where is the company? Several agencies ranking for this search are UK or US firms with an Australian landing page. That is not disqualifying, but you should know which time zone the decisions are made in.
What “growth agency” should mean
A digital agency runs channels. A growth agency owns the system the channels feed: the store that converts, the retention engine that makes a second purchase likely, the marketplace that catches the shopper who was never coming to your site, and the ledger that reports all of it in contribution margin rather than platform-flattering ROAS. If an agency runs your Meta ads but has no opinion on your free-shipping threshold, your post-purchase flow or your Amazon listing, it is a media buyer with a broader website.
The Australian specifics an agency should already know
Shipping distances that make delivery promises a conversion lever, not a footnote. A buy-now-pay-later habit that changes how price should be shown. GST on the invoice and on imports. Amazon Australia, which is thinner and less contested than the US and rewards brands that treat it as its own market. And a calendar that runs EOFY, Black Friday, Boxing Day and a January lull, which decides stock, cash and creative months ahead. An agency importing a US playbook will learn these at your expense.
Where the work actually happens
We run the national practice from Geelong and publish a local read for each major market: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Queensland, and Geelong, where the team sits. Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and regional brands are served remotely on identical terms, with a senior person in the accounts and a fortnightly recorded breakdown of exactly what changed and why.
How we answer our own six questions. Baseline, timeframe and spend on every result we publish, and we never round up. The people you meet on the audit are the people in your accounts. A flat fee by revenue band, stated plainly on the call, never a percentage of anything. No media markup. Ninety days to build, then month to month. Australian-owned, headquartered in Geelong, Victoria.
The honest limit
We take on six new clients a month across both practices, which is why we start with an audit rather than a proposal. If the audit says your margin, your product or your timing will not support growth yet, we will say that, with the numbers, and tell you what to fix first. The audit is free either way and you keep the findings.
Want us to find what's capping you, before you ever pay us a dollar?
Three answers from you. Twenty-four hours from us. Your site marked up screenshot by screenshot, the brands beating you benchmarked, and a fix-first plan. No pitch inside.

Free growth audit, about 30 minutes. We look at your store, your ads and your search visibility, and tell you honestly where the next dollar of revenue is. You keep the findings either way.
