About Us

Better Ranking was founded by Sam Pettiford in 2018 as an SEO and Shopify specialist agency. After helping clients generate millions in revenue and ranking hundreds of keywords at the top of Google, we evolved.

In 2024, we became a full-service ecommerce growth agency—focused on one thing: delivering ROI. Our team uses data, not guesswork. We act on what drives revenue, improve every step of the customer journey, and make decisions based on what works, not what’s trendy.
