How it scored

Every dimension is scored against this discipline’s published rubric. Open one to see the claim it was scored on, what the rubric measures there and how much it weighs, and where the evidence came from.

How we scored this

We read the agency’s public record first-hand — its site, pricing, case studies and independent reviews — and score what is checkable: what is published, not how it is phrased. There is no keyword counting or sentiment scoring. The label is a judgment on those facts, which is why each dimension shows the fact that decided it, the band it was judged against, and the sources — so you can check the call, and tell us if you think it is wrong. The full method, and who pays, is on how we vet.

Lifecycle strategy and flowsStrong

Strong — 4 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 22% of the total score.

Benchmark — across the 22 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Excellent 10 · Strong 9 · Adequate 1 · Weak 2. The typical agency here scores Strong, and 10 of them score higher than this one.

What this dimension measures: Real lifecycle depth: segmentation, automated flows (welcome, abandoned cart/browse, post-purchase, winback, onboarding, churn), and a retention roadmap, not just batch campaigns.

Scores high — Named flow architecture and lifecycle strategy score 4-5.

Scores low — 'We'll send your newsletters' scores 1-2.

What we found — Marketing automation follows site optimization, design, and development in the agency's stated process. That is the high band above, which is why it scored Strong.

lifecycle — lifecycle marketing: the automated email and SMS journey across a customer’s relationship — welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, win-back.

churn — the rate at which customers cancel.

Revenue and retention measurement (not opens)Strong

Strong — 4 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 20% of the total score.

Benchmark — across the 22 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Excellent 11 · Strong 6 · Adequate 3 · Weak 2. The typical agency here scores Excellent, and 11 of them score higher than this one.

What this dimension measures: Ties email to revenue/LTV/retention (revenue per recipient, flow revenue, repeat-purchase or expansion), not open rates (dead in 2026 due to Apple MPP) or sends.

Scores high — Revenue/LTV reporting scores 4-5.

Scores low — Open-rate/send vanity scores 1-2.

What we found — The agency emphasizes online sales and tangible revenue, while few email-only revenue cases are public. That is the high band above, which is why it scored Strong.

LTV — lifetime value: the revenue a customer generates over the whole relationship, judged against what they cost to acquire.

Evidence: inferred — our reading of indirect evidence, not a documented fact.

Deliverability and list healthAdequate

Adequate — 3 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 18% of the total score.

Benchmark — across the 22 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Excellent 3 · Strong 14 · Adequate 4 · Weak 1. The typical agency here scores Strong, and 17 of them score higher than this one.

What this dimension measures: Protects sending reputation: authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC/BIMI), list hygiene and sunsetting, engagement-based sending, warmup, inbox placement monitoring.

Scores high — Real deliverability practice scores 4-5.

Scores low — Silence or blast-everyone scores 1-2.

What we found — Public detail on inbox placement, suppression, and list-health operations is limited. That is between the two bands, which is why it scored Adequate.

deliverability — deliverability: whether cold email actually lands in the inbox rather than spam. The tell is infrastructure talk — warmed sending domains kept separate from your main domain — because a burned domain outlasts the engagement.

Evidence: inferred — our reading of indirect evidence, not a documented fact.

Scores high — Named platform partnerships/certifications matching the buyer score 4-5.

Scores low — Platform mismatch or generalist scores 2-3.

Verdict

Electric Eye is a strong fit for Shopify brands that need email automation integrated with site design and ecommerce operations. Klaviyo lists it as a Gold Advisor, and a verified G2 review praises its communication and strategic suggestions while noting premium pricing. It is less clearly a dedicated lifecycle agency, so confirm campaign cadence, deliverability ownership, and email-specific outcomes.
