You are spending three days in Nashville benchmarking holiday and mapping next year.Somewhere in that plan sits a set of international markets converting 2-5x below your domestic one, and no one can say whether it is the traffic, the product, or the content.
But when a market underperforms, the real issue may sit deeper in the customer experience: cultural expectations, messaging, buying behavior, local relevance, or friction between the click and conversion.
CompassGEO (Global Engagement Optimization) helps global brands optimize engagement across markets by going beyond the data to understand why performance is falling short, what needs to change, and how to fix it.
30-60% of Your Traffic Is International
But conversion rates can run 2–5x lower than your domestic market.
The problem isn’t always reach. The gap may be relevance, customer experience, or how your brand connects in-market.
Holiday Is Won or Lost In-Market
Brands that intentionally optimize for global engagement see conversion lift market by market through peak season. Brands that do not watch international ROAS collapse in the quarter that matters most.
Market Insight. Built to Become Action.
CompassGEO combines global market expertise, cultural intelligence, and localization capabilities to uncover what’s holding performance back and help brands build experiences designed to convert in-market.
Who we are
From Market Insight to In-Market Performance
CompassGEO helps global brands understand why international markets underperform and what to do about it.
We work with global eCommerce and marketing teams to uncover the factors influencing in-market performance, from cultural expectations and buying behavior to messaging, content and customer experience.
Then we turn those insights into action.
With deep market expertise and more than two decades of experience, CompassGEO helps brands adapt the experiences that shape conversion, including campaigns, product content, video and digital experiences, for the people and markets they’re designed to reach.
We help our clients make smarter international market decisions, create more relevant customer experiences, and drive stronger international growth.

Meet Us at Shoptalk Fall

CompassGEO is not taking a booth this year, which is the point. Shoptalk Fall is built for Meetups, and that is a better use of fifteen minutes than a badge scan. Daniel Lopez leads Compass's eCommerce practice and is booking time across all three days at Music City Center.
Bring one market
The one that is underperforming and you cannot explain. German, Japanese, Spanish, whichever one your board keeps asking about.
Leave with a first look
We will tell you where we would start, whether that is video, PDPs, or checkout, and what we would expect it to move. No deck.
Fifteen minutes, your schedule
Before the floor opens, between sessions, or over coffee. Pick the slot that fits around the sessions you came for.
Still have questions? We have answers.
Quick answers about performance localization, AI, and how we work. If yours is not here, bring it to Nashville. Daniel Lopez leads our eCommerce practice and is booking fifteen-minute Meetups across all three days at Music City Center, September 29 to October 1.
