Hardware store since 1972, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

Quincaillerie G.H. Berger

Nearly 10,000 indexed pages preserved during the migration.

More than 11,000 products online, on a Magento site that had become slow and unstable. We handled the full migration to Shopify while protecting the search visibility built over the years. The result: a faster, more reliable store that is easier to manage and retains its visibility on Google.

Buvette Laganière

A distinct identity, shaped by chef Ian Perreault.

Previously part of Lagabière’s website, the Buvette wanted its own digital identity to match its new image. We designed a custom website that reflects its personality and integrated Libro to simplify online reservations for locals and visitors alike.

Plan my season

What we often hear

What retailers hesitate about before getting started, and how we answer.

  1. “I can’t compete with the big chains.”

    Not on everything, but on your city, your products and your service, yes. A well-kept Google profile, photos of your real products and local campaigns work in your favour.

  2. “An online store is too complicated to manage.”

    With Shopify and its point of sale, inventory, sales and customers stay in sync between your store and your website. We show you how to handle the day-to-day yourself.

  3. “Social media doesn’t sell.”

    On its own, rarely right away. It gets your products discovered; Google Shopping and remarketing then bring back the people who are ready to buy. We measure both.

Frequently asked questions

What retailers ask us before getting started.

I don’t have an online store. Is this still useful?

Yes. Many in-store purchases begin online: on Google, Instagram or in an AI answer. A polished Google Business Profile, local ads and a clear website bring customers to your door, even without online sales. The online store can come later.

Can my physical and online stores share the same inventory?

Yes. With Shopify and its point-of-sale system, your inventory, sales and customers stay in sync between your physical and online stores. We handle the setup and product migration.

When should we prepare for Black Friday and the holidays?

Ideally two to three months ahead. You need time to plan offers, produce photos and videos, build pages and warm up your audiences before competition drives up advertising costs.

Meta or Google: where should I invest my advertising budget?

They play different roles. Meta and Instagram introduce your products to people who weren’t looking for you yet. Google Shopping reaches people already searching for a specific product. At Vvög, we’ve combined both since 2021.

Can you migrate my store without losing my search rankings?

Yes. At G.H. Berger, we migrated more than 11,000 products from Magento to Shopify while preserving nearly 10,000 pages indexed by Google, with a complete page inventory and redirects for every old URL.

How much does a retail project cost?

It depends on your goals, catalogue and channels. We start with a meeting to understand your seasons, margins and customers, then provide a clear quote with the advertising budget separate from our fees.
