Two people, two countries, for the world
Caramulo Digital was founded in 2024 by Carlos Matos and Kelly Johnson, after more than ten years of work for brands in Portugal, the UK, Spain and Brazil. Agencies also hire us white label.
Co-founder · Design and project management
Carlos Matos
The one who makes things look good, and somehow also makes sure they actually get done.
Carlos is what happens when a designer discovers he is also good at project management and can’t leave either one behind. He handles visual identity, builds Shopify stores, keeps clients happy and still finds time to check whether the typography is truly aligned. He splits his time between Portugal and the UK with suspicious calm for someone with that much on his plate.
Talk to Carlos
Co-founder · Copywriting, marketing and PPC
Kelly Johnson
The voice behind the brands. And the campaigns that make people click, on purpose.
Kelly writes the words that make people do things. She manages paid campaigns on Google and Meta with the composure of someone who has seen every possible way an ad can go wrong and slept fine anyway. She is probably the only person who can write convincing copy for a product she has never used, in an industry she has never heard of, with a two-hour deadline, and still make it sound genuine.

15 October 2026 · 2 min readQuestions
Do you only work with Shopify?
No. Shopify is our speciality and we are an official Shopify Partner, but we also build WooCommerce stores and websites on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and Webflow. We recommend the platform that suits your business best, not the one that suits us.
How long does a Shopify store take?
A typical store takes four to eight weeks. The date is part of the proposal.
Can you move my store from WooCommerce or Wix?
Yes. We move products, customers and orders, and redirect old addresses to keep your rankings.
Do I need Shopify Plus?
Most small and medium stores don't. We tell you honestly when it starts to pay off.
What is AI search visibility (GEO)?
Making sure ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers can read your site and choose to cite it.
How long until SEO shows results?
Local changes can show within weeks. Competitive searches usually take a few months.
Will I keep my rankings if you rebuild my site?
Yes. We map every old address and keep the content that ranks.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes. Whether it is Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or Webflow, you get a site you can manage, plus training.
Is the site in Portuguese and English?
It can be. Each language gets its own address, so both are found on Google.
Do you look after hosting?
Yes, with monthly care plans that include updates, backups and small changes.
Quick answers
The questions people ask Google and ChatGPT about us, answered in the first sentence.
What is SEO for AI search (GEO)?
It is the work that helps ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers read and cite your website: clear answers, structured data, an llms.txt file and pages crawlers can read.
Do you work with businesses in the UK?
Yes. Caramulo Digital has a presence in Cheddar, Somerset, and works with businesses in Somerset, Bristol, Bath, Wells and across the UK, in English.
Do you do white label work for agencies?
Yes. Caramulo Digital works white label for agencies in Portugal and the UK: Shopify and WooCommerce stores, websites on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and Webflow, SEO, campaigns and email, delivered under the agency’s brand. It can be project by project or ongoing, with no long contracts and full confidentiality.
