Best Amazon Account Management Agencies: 11 Scored on the 8 Questions to Ask Before Hiring

For established brands that want one team to run the entire Amazon account, Olifant Digital comes out on top of this comparison. It also holds the #1 spot on Clutch's Top Amazon Marketing & Advertising Agencies list, with a 5.0 client rating.

It is written for brand owners already selling on Amazon, and for DTC brands that want to grow there, who are comparing agencies to run the account. Third-party sellers make up about 60% of units sold in Amazon's store, according to Amazon's earnings reports, so the right partner has a direct effect on revenue.

Each of the 11 agencies below was compared on the same 8 buying questions using only its own website, and gets a public-answer score out of 8, a row in the scorecard and a full entry.

The 8 questions behind the scores

Agency reviews tend to praise results without showing how the work gets done. These 8 questions cover the parts of the service that shape both results and cost.

1. Does one team run the whole account? PPC (pay-per-click) ads, listings, catalog and account health work better when one group owns all of them.
2. How senior is the team? Years of hands-on Amazon experience show who will make the daily decisions.
3. Is there a self-serve or software-only plan? Brands with an in-house team may want a tool they can run themselves instead of full management.
4. Which metric drives decisions? The target metric decides where ad budget goes and whether profit keeps pace with sales.
5. Are fees or plans published? A public starting fee or plan list lets brands check fit before the first call.
6. What happens if the brand is unhappy with results? A published guarantee or performance clause shows how much risk the agency shares.
7. Named client results? Brand names with numbers can be checked. Unnamed claims cannot.
8. Does the team run marketplaces beyond Amazon? Coverage shows whether the agency can follow a brand onto other marketplaces as it grows.

Question 4 needs two terms. Amazon Ads defines ACoS, or advertising cost of sales, as ad spend divided by attributed sales. Jungle Scout defines TACoS, or total advertising cost of sales, as ad spend divided by total sales, ad plus organic.

ACoS shows how efficient the ads are on their own. TACoS shows how much of the whole business the ads are carrying, so it catches margin loss that ACoS can hide.

All 11 agencies were assessed the same way: each earns 1 point for every question it answers on its own website, including its service pages and published case studies. No agency supplied answers for this comparison, and outside ratings such as Clutch did not affect the scores. A low score is a cue to raise that question on the call. It says nothing about the quality of the work. Agencies are listed by score, and where scores tie, the order follows fit for brands that want one team on the whole account.

Most agencies publish their services and named results. The points most often missing are fees, seniority, the decision metric, and a guarantee. The entries below note that once and then focus on the questions worth asking each agency.

1. Olifant Digital

Olifant Digital is a full-service Amazon account management agency that runs the whole account, on Seller Central or Vendor Central, for established brands. Its specialists work with Olifant AI, an in-house system that reviews each account daily, and set budgets by TACoS so ad spend tracks total sales.

Score: 7/8 (Q1, Q2, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8 answered publicly)

Typical client: Brands with a proven product and steady Amazon sales that want profitable next-stage growth.

Services: PPC, SEO and listings, A+ Content, catalog, inventory, account health and expansion into new countries, plus Walmart, Target Plus and Wayfair.

What stands out: One team holds the whole account, staffed by specialists with seven or more years of Amazon experience. Ekster added +$688,406 in yearly Amazon profit.

Pricing: Management starts at $2,000 per month on month-to-month terms with a 60-day money-back guarantee: brands whose results do not improve in that window pay nothing.

Watch out for: No self-serve plan is listed, so brands that want to run campaigns themselves on a tool will not find one here.

2. Teikametrics

Teikametrics is a marketplace optimization software company that pairs its platform with a managed service. Its strategists run accounts inside the company's own AI platform, ARI, and coverage reaches past Amazon to other marketplaces.

Score: 5/8 (Q2, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8 answered publicly)

Typical client: Marketplace sellers on its Advanced and Enterprise tiers.

Services: Managed marketplace growth, plus self-serve platform plans with profitability dashboards on higher tiers.

What stands out: The managed-services page lists a dedicated strategist, and a senior strategist plus specialist team on higher tiers, which earns its point on Q2. Named client stories include Dealmed and Biolab.

Pricing: Plans listed on its site; managed-service fees are not published.

Watch out for: The team setup is stated, but not whether that team owns the whole account. What each managed tier includes beyond the software is worth confirming, along with how fees change as ad spend grows.

3. Netrush

Netrush is a retail and e-commerce accelerator that lets brands choose a Standard Retail model, in which Netrush buys the products and pays for fulfillment, or a Managed Retail model run as an extension of their own DTC plan.

Score: 4/8 (Q1, Q3, Q7, Q8 answered publicly)

Typical client: Brands that want one partner for Amazon selling, fulfillment and advertising.

Services: Fulfillment and logistics, catalog management, brand protection, creative, performance marketing and consulting, with ad automation through its Sellozo software, which also sells a self-serve PPC plan, and selling on Amazon, Walmart or the brand's own site.

What stands out: Named client quotes include Enzymedica, which reports 25K new-to-brand customers in a single quarter, along with Leatherman and Vibrant Health.

Pricing: Pricing on request.

Watch out for: Under the Standard Retail model Netrush acts as the seller, so pricing control, stock and exit terms deserve a close read.

4. Marketplace Valet

Marketplace Valet is an Amazon account management and advertising agency that takes full operational responsibility for the channel. It was started by Will Land and Laura Land, who scaled their own consumer brand on Amazon, with Justin Boggs.

Score: 3/8 (Q1, Q2, Q4 answered publicly)

Typical client: Established U.S. consumer brands.

Services: Account management, listing creation and optimization, brand content, Amazon Ads, DSP, AMC and TACoS optimization, plus a client data dashboard, 3P360.

What stands out: Every campaign and SKU decision is tied to contribution margin, and its site describes a 25+ person team of U.S.-based senior operators with no offshore pods.

Pricing: Pricing on request.

Watch out for: Its case studies are published without brand names, so Q7 stays open. Named references in the brand's category are worth requesting.

5. Sequence Commerce

Sequence Commerce is an Amazon growth agency that runs strategy, paid media, organic search, creative and Amazon DSP with one integrated team. It was started by Alex Kung, who had operated brands inside the Amazon ecosystem.

Score: 3/8 (Q1, Q7, Q8 answered publicly)

What stands out: Its site states $500M+ in ecommerce revenue managed across 100+ brands. Named clients include VASANTI Cosmetics, Joe Boxer and Muscle Mac.

Pricing: Pricing on request.

Watch out for: With several marketplaces in scope, brands should confirm who on the team owns DSP and AMC work and how Amazon results are reported apart from other channels.

6. Quartile

Quartile is a retail media optimization company that combines its own platform with a full-service team. Its AI builds and adjusts campaigns for each product, and an expert team works alongside the software on strategy and account support.

Typical client: Small businesses to enterprises.

Services: Retail media optimization through its own platform, plus listing and account support from its team across several marketplaces.

What stands out: Software and people sit in one service, so bid changes run every day without manual work. Named case studies include AnewVita, Zen Ginseng, The Rag Company and Runners Plus, which earn its point on Q7.

Pricing: Pricing on request.

Watch out for: The split between software and people. Brands should ask who makes the daily calls on bids and budgets, and which case studies match their category and size.

7. Blue Wheel

Blue Wheel is an e-commerce agency that combines marketplace management, retail media, DTC growth and social commerce. Its stated aim is to connect strategy, data and teams across every channel a brand sells on.

Score: 3/8 (Q1, Q7, Q8 answered publicly)

Typical client: Consumer brands in beauty, CPG, apparel, home goods and fitness that sell on Amazon and other channels.

Services: Amazon Ads, Amazon DSP, A+ Content and Storefronts, Amazon SEO, catalog management, inventory and fulfillment, and brand protection, plus TikTok Shop.

What stands out: Its site lists 250+ brand partners and named Amazon work for PowerBlock, Ariat, Cremo and Sol de Janeiro.

8. Seller Interactive

Score: 3/8 (Q1, Q7, Q8 answered publicly)

Typical client: Brands scaling to 7 and 8 figures, especially sellers that have faced suspensions.

Services: Account management, PPC, SEO, listings, brand protection, suspension appeals, reimbursements, DSP and launches, plus other marketplaces and social ads.

What stands out: Seller experience at the top of the company and long work on reinstatement and reimbursements. Named clients include PetScy and Cliff's Kitchen.

Pricing: Pricing on request.

Watch out for: With a menu this broad, scope drives cost. Which services the base fee covers, and how other marketplaces are staffed next to Amazon, are worth confirming.

9. Hawke Media

Hawke Media is a full-service digital marketing agency that sells its services a la carte. Its Amazon team runs paid media, Storefront and A+ Content, and holistic account management linked to a brand's wider e-commerce plan.

Score: 3/8 (Q1, Q7, Q8 answered publicly)

Typical client: Brands that want Amazon handled by the same agency as paid social, search and email.

Services: Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands, Storefront and A+ Content, account management, reimbursement services, Amazon audits, Walmart Marketplace management and scoped project work.

What stands out: Amazon strategy is planned alongside channels such as paid social and email, supported by its analytics platform, Hawke AI. Its site shows a named Amazon case study, VOLOOM.

Pricing: Pricing on request.

Watch out for: Amazon is not its core focus, as one service among more than twenty. Brands should ask how many people on the account work on Amazon full time.

10. Buy Box Experts

Buy Box Experts is an Amazon agency that focuses on ads, listing optimization and account management, and runs its work through a named method, the Marketplace Flywheel.

Score: 2/8 (Q1, Q7 answered publicly)

Typical client: Mid-to-large product brands.

Services: Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Amazon DSP, plus A+ Content, Brand Store, Brand Registry, catalog, compliance and international expansion.

What stands out: Ads and catalog work sit with one team, guided by the Marketplace Flywheel method. Named clients include TRX, and its site features multi-year client relationships.

Pricing: Pricing on request.

Watch out for: The focus on mid-to-large brands means smaller sellers may sit outside its typical client. How the Marketplace Flywheel looks in practice for a small catalog is a fair question.

11. 1Digital Agency

1Digital Agency is a full-service e-commerce agency for stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Magento. Its Amazon PPC service sits next to SEO, design, development and conversion work.

Score: 1/8 (Q4 answered publicly)

Typical client: E-commerce brands that run their own web store and want Amazon ads from the same agency.

Services: Sponsored Products, Brands, Display and TV, Amazon DSP, AMC and Amazon Attribution setup, plus Brand Store and A+ Content work.

What stands out: Ads are paired with listing readiness, and its site says ad spend is kept in line with each product's margin. A human strategist runs each account with help from its in-house WorkspaceCRM tools.

Pricing: Pricing on request.

Watch out for: Amazon is not its core focus, and the service centers on advertising. Catalog, inventory and account health need a separate owner.

How to run the 8 questions on a first call

A score only shows what an agency publishes. The first call fills the gaps, so it pays to raise the same 8 questions with every agency.

Call wording and strong answers

9. "Who handles ads, listings, catalog and account health?" A strong answer names one team for all four.
10. "How many years of Amazon experience does each person on the account have?" A strong answer gives names and years.
11. "Is there a self-serve or software-only option, and what does it include?" A strong answer names the plan, its price and what support comes with it.
12. "Which metric sets bids and budgets?" A strong answer covers TACoS and profit per product alongside ACoS.
13. "What is the starting fee or plan, and what changes it?" A strong answer gives a number and the factors behind it.
14. "What happens if the brand is unhappy with results?" A strong answer points to a written guarantee or performance clause with a clear timeframe.
15. "Which named brands can serve as references?" A strong answer includes brand names, numbers and timeframes.
16. "Which marketplaces and channels does the team run today?" A strong answer lists live accounts by marketplace, country and Seller Central or Vendor Central.

A useful benchmark for question 7 is a published case study that names the brand, the metric and the figure.

Red flags to listen for

• No named client results, only general claims about growth.
• Reports that show ACoS but never TACoS or profit.
• Vague staffing, such as "a dedicated team" with no names or ratios.
• Long contracts with no performance clause or exit terms.
• A senior pitch team that hands the work to people the brand never met.

References from former clients can then confirm what the call reveals about staffing and communication.

Agency or in-house

An agency brings full marketplace management services and tested processes for a monthly fee. An in-house team gives direct control, but it takes time to hire people with depth across ads, listings and operations.

FAQ

What is the best Amazon account management agency?

Olifant Digital ranks first on this list, scoring 7 of 8, for established brands that want one team on the whole account. Teikametrics fits sellers that want their own software plus a strategist, and Marketplace Valet fits U.S. consumer brands that steer by contribution margin.

Which Amazon account management service is best?

The strongest services answer the 8 questions with names, numbers and written terms. Public scores on this list run from 1 to 7, so the unanswered questions belong on the first call.

How much does an Amazon account management agency cost?

Most agencies on this list quote on request, so cost usually comes up on the first call. Where a full-management fee is public on this list, it starts at $2,000 per month, and Teikametrics lists its software plans on its site.

Can one agency manage both Seller Central and Vendor Central?

Yes, some agencies manage both Seller Central (3P) and Vendor Central (1P, or first-party) accounts. Brands should check which model the team runs today and ask for a named example of each.

Is it better to hire an agency or build an in-house team?

It depends on budget, speed and how much Amazon depth the brand already has. An agency gives access to a full team at once, while in-house hires take time to recruit and train. Some brands combine both, with an internal lead overseeing the agency.

Final thoughts

Each agency on this list brings a different model, and the scores only measure what each one shares in public. For brands that want one team on the whole account, Olifant Digital is the place to start. Teikametrics suits sellers that want software with a strategist attached, Netrush suits brands that want a retail partner holding inventory, and Hawke Media suits brands that want Amazon planned next to paid social and email.

Key takeaways

• Public answers save time: an agency that publishes staffing, pricing and terms lets brands compare options before the first call.
• Software is not the same as service: some agencies sell a platform with strategists on top and others pair their tools with full management, so it pays to ask who acts on what the software flags.
• Low scores are call prompts: most agencies here answer 3 or 4 of the 8 questions publicly, so the rest belong on the call.
• TACoS shows the full picture: ACoS covers attributed ad sales only, while TACoS compares ad spend to total sales.
• Fees are rarely public: most agencies leave pricing to the first call, so the factors that change the fee are worth pinning down.
