First Pier

• First Pier | Shopify Growth Partner for Consumer Brands
• Based in Portland, Maine
• Shopify-exclusive since 2009

First Pier is a Shopify-exclusive ecommerce agency helping consumer brands doing $500K–$15M build, optimize, and grow. Strategy, development, CRO, paid media, Klaviyo email & SMS, SEO, and analytics — one senior team, under one roof.

We measure success by your revenue, not our deliverables. Clients have seen 140% year-over-year Shopify sales growth and record-profit quarters directly attributable to our work. As one put it: "We come up with ideas we would never be able to pull off. We pitch them to First Pier and they figure out how to do it."

We're also ahead of the biggest shift in ecommerce discovery. Our Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and AI commerce practice gets brands cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — not just ranked in traditional search — and prepares your product data for agentic shopping.

Our expertise:

• Shopify & Shopify Plus development (building on Plus since 2019)
• Platform migrations (WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce → Shopify)
• Conversion Revenue Optimization — bigger swings than button-color A/B tests
• Google Ads & paid social
• Klaviyo email & SMS (certified partners)
• Ecommerce SEO & AEO
• Analytics & attribution
• AI-ready ecommerce & agentic commerce setup

Why First Pier?We don't just build Shopify stores — we build stronger ecommerce businesses. Whether you're launching, migrating, or scaling, we work as an extension of your team: senior expertise, straightforward communication, no black boxes, and a sincere focus on long-term growth over one-time projects.
