The years as a merchant, running several stores first-hand, taught problems and decisions from the seller’s side: real results, mistakes and constraints.

Francesco Guiducci combines his freelance work with a role as an industrial engineer at a large international multinational company. English is a daily working language, and this exposure carries into his Shopify projects, Italian and international.

The first real freelance experience came from an ad published almost as a joke: the entire store of an Italian client. At delivery she was the one to say that speed, competence and seriousness were worth more than what had been asked.

That feedback showed how satisfying it is to solve a concrete problem well for a person. It is still one of the reasons why Francesco Guiducci works directly with clients.

Every project follows the same sequence. Decisions, technical responsibility and control of the result stay with the founder.

• AnalysisGoals, data, constraints and the real state of the project.
• CauseTelling symptoms, dependencies and priorities apart.
• DesignChoosing native configuration, theme, app or dedicated development.
• VerificationChecking the result and the relevant regressions.

Analysis, advice, design, intervention and verification all go through the same person: Francesco Guiducci. No account managers, no departments, no handovers.

If an intervention is not needed, he says so, even when it means advising against one of his own services.

AI tools and agents support analysis, development, verification and organisation. Decisions, technical responsibility, control and the result remain with Francesco Guiducci: the goal is to raise quality and operating capacity while keeping the relationship with each client personal.

A stated scope, to avoid misunderstandings.

• Advertising campaignsHe does not manage Google Ads or Meta Ads campaigns. He can handle the related technical side: pixels, tags, Google Analytics, tracking and integrations.
• Support for end customersHe does not provide customer service on behalf of merchants and does not run chat or support towards stores’ end customers.
