Best Amazon PPC Agencies and Management Services in 2026 (Compared)

An Amazon PPC agency runs your Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display and sometimes Amazon DSP campaigns for a fee. The fee, the contract and what is included differ a lot between agencies, and most are not published. This guide compares 18 Amazon PPC agencies and management services, using what each says on its own website as read on 4 November 2026, and puts the published prices side by side.

Everything an agency says about its own results is labelled as an agency claim, because none of those figures were audited. Where a price is not published we say so rather than guess. Numbers in the list are positions, not scores.

What Is an Amazon PPC Agency? The Short Answer

• Published prices are rare. Only AMZDUDES ($500 a month), SellerMetrics ($900 to $1,900), Clear Ads Agency ($2,500 a month or 7% of ad spend), Olifant Digital (from $2,000) and AdBadger (software from $275) state a figure on their own sites.
• Most agencies want established brands. The ones that name a floor ask for $100K a month in revenue (AMZ Pathfinder), about $1M a year (Clear Ads Agency, My Amazon Guy) or a $2,000 retainer (Olifant Digital).
• Check the contract first. AMZDUDES, IG PPC and Olifant Digital say month to month. SellerMetrics asks for three months and AMZ Pathfinder for two.
• Ask for account access and raw reports. You should always own the advertising account and see the search term data.
• Do you need an agency at all? Under a few thousand dollars of ad spend a month, software or a freelancer is often a better fit (see the comparison below).

Quick Comparison: Best Amazon PPC Agencies at a Glance

18 Amazon PPC agencies compared on type, best fit, published price and contract

Only about a third of these agencies publish a price. The rest sell by quote after a free audit, so the table shows ‘not published’ rather than an estimate. All 18 were read on their own websites on 4 November 2026 and may have changed since.

Top 18 Amazon PPC Agencies and Management Services in 2026

1. Olifant Digital

Full-service Amazon agency, profit-first PPC. Offices in Grand Island NY, Santa Monica, London, Berlin and Sofia. Founded 2018. The team behind Olifant Digital Amazon PPC services manages Amazon ads, listings, catalog and inventory as one account, and sets its PPC against contribution margin and TACoS instead of ACoS alone. Its own AI tool, Olifant AI, analyses the account daily and account managers review every flag and act the same day. It says it holds Amazon Ads Verified Partner status and a 5.0 rating on Clutch. Reports are weekly and clients get a direct Slack channel.

• Best for: Established brands with product-market fit and good reviews that want ads and the rest of the Amazon account in one team.
• Pricing: Custom monthly retainer from $2,000, not a percentage of ad spend
• Contract: Month to month. It says management fees are refunded if performance has not improved within 60 days (agency claim, ‘improve’ is not defined).
• Watch out for: It does not take early-stage or low-review brands, and the $2,000 floor rules out very small sellers.

2. Canopy Management

Full-service Amazon and Walmart account management. Austin, Texas. Operating since 2015. Canopy lists more than 100 Amazon and Walmart specialists and covers PPC, DSP, listing optimization, Amazon SEO, photography and video, inventory management and lost-inventory reimbursement. The ads team works in its own software, Canopy Ad Technology, which it built from PPC Scope after buying it in 2019. It claims 1,000+ brands and a 99.1% partner retention rate, both agency claims we could not verify.

• Best for: Consumer brands that want one team across Amazon, Walmart and creative, including some smaller brands.
• Pricing: Not published. Free audit and a quote request
• Contract: Not stated. Its FAQ says full-service management has no minimum requirements.
• Watch out for: No pricing or contract terms are public, and its partner tier is worded two ways on the page (Preferred and Advanced).

3. SalesDuo

Amazon agency with proprietary AI and BI tools. Offices in New York, Newark (Delaware), Seattle, Dubai and Bengaluru. SalesDuo runs Sponsored Products, Brands and Display, Amazon DSP and Amazon Marketing Cloud, plus Seller Central and Vendor Central work such as listing optimization, A+ content, chargebacks and shortage claims. It lists Amazon Ads Verified Partner status. Its AI assistant Ethan monitors listings and sends alerts, and a BI dashboard combines sales, ads, inventory and profit. It claims 350+ brands and $3B+ in client revenue managed (agency claims). It also publishes who it is a poor fit for: brands that want isolated bid edits without account access, that expect guaranteed results, that lack Buy Box or inventory readiness or whose campaigns are too new to test.

• Best for: Small to large brands with active Amazon sales and real ad spend or catalog complexity, on Seller or Vendor Central.
• Pricing: Custom, based on ad spend, SKU count, marketplaces and scope. No minimum stated
• Contract: Not stated.
• Watch out for: No public price, and DSP, AMC and listing work are usually scoped separately.

4. Clear Ads Agency

Amazon PPC and DSP specialist with published fees. Brooklyn, New York and Croydon, UK. Footer says established 2011. Clear Ads works only on Amazon PPC and DSP. It publishes its fees: PPC management from $2,500 a month or 7% of ad spend, full DSP management from $2,500 a month plus 10% of ad spend (up to 200 ASINs) and DSP Lite from $850 a month plus 8% (up to 5 ASINs). Accounts of roughly $1M to $9.99M a year pay the fixed minimum, and those at $10M and above pay 7% of ad spend. It lists Amazon Ads Advanced Partner status and offers a free browser-based audit tool.

• Best for: Brands from about $1M in annual revenue that want a specialist and a price they can read before the call.
• Pricing: From $2,500 a month or 7% of ad spend. DSP from $850 plus 8%
• Contract: Not stated.
• Watch out for: The practical floor is about $2,500 a month, DSP needs over $2.5M in annual revenue on one marketplace, and its case studies are anonymised.

5. Tinuiti

Large multichannel agency with an Amazon practice. Started as Elite SEM in 2004, renamed Tinuiti in 2019. New York roots. Tinuiti reports more than 1,000 employee owners and runs Amazon sponsored ads, Amazon Marketing Cloud audience work, Amazon DSP, streaming TV and A+ and Stores creative, alongside paid search and social. It claims Amazon Ads Advanced Partner status and AMC accreditation (agency claims). Its proprietary Bliss Point platform covers audience insight, incrementality testing and media mix modelling. A contact form asks for monthly Amazon sales in bands from under $50K to $1M+.

• Best for: Brands that treat Amazon as one channel in a wider media plan and want AMC and DSP depth.
• Pricing: Not published
• Contract: Not stated.
• Watch out for: Amazon is one practice among many, and its case studies lean towards AMC and DSP work for large brands, not PPC clean-up for mid-size sellers.

6. AMZDUDES

Flat-retainer Amazon PPC and account management. Austin, Texas, with an office in Karachi. Since 2020. AMZDUDES manages Sponsored Products, Brands and Display and DSP as one strategy, plus listing optimization, A+ content, storefronts and seller or vendor central management. Its PPC page says a flat monthly retainer starts at $500, billed every two weeks, with no hidden fees. It describes itself as a certified Amazon Advertising Partner and claims 50+ brand partners (agency claim).

• Best for: Private-label and DTC sellers that want a low entry price and no long contract.
• Pricing: Flat retainer from $500 a month, scaled to ad spend and catalog size
• Contract: Month to month. It says there are no exit fees or penalties.
• Watch out for: Its pages disagree on pricing (the strategy call scopes the real fee), the team size is not public and the list of services is very broad.

7. SellerMetrics

Software-led Amazon PPC management with published tiers. Registered in Dover, Delaware. Founder Rick Wong, a former seller. SellerMetrics lists three tiers on its PPC page, which it marks as subject to change: Lite at $900 a month or 3 to 4% of ad sales (1 to 3 parent ASINs, up to $3,000 monthly ad sales), Growth at $1,500 or 1 to 3% (up to 20 parent ASINs, $3,000 to $25,000) and Enterprise at $1,900 or 1 to 3% (up to 40 parent ASINs, $25,000 to $80,000). It says its bid software is built in house and shows Amazon Ads Advanced Partner and Verified Partner badges. It also offers DSP, audits, KDP ads and Walmart work.

• Best for: Emerging and scaling brands with a small number of parent ASINs that want transparent tiers.
• Pricing: $900, $1,500 or $1,900 a month, or a share of ad sales
• Contract: Month to month after an initial three-month commitment.
• Watch out for: Its site contradicts itself on client counts and how its $600M figure is defined, and its scope (Walmart, KDP, link building) is very wide.

8. IG PPC

Small agency for Amazon and Walmart sellers. Brooklyn, New York, with a second office in Israel. Founded 2019. IG PPC manages Sponsored Products, Brands and Display and Amazon DSP, plus Walmart advertising, and offers a free PPC audit, a PPC cost calculator and an n-gram keyword tool. It charges a flat monthly fee rather than a commission. It says AI helps with keyword generation while account managers are human. It does not claim an Amazon Ads partner badge, and shows Inc. 5000 and directory badges instead.

• Best for: Six to nine figure Amazon and Walmart sellers that want a small team and a flat fee.
• Pricing: Flat monthly fee, amount not published
• Contract: Month to month, no long-term contract. Either side can end it.
• Watch out for: No published price, no Amazon partner badge, a small team and some stale parts of its homepage.

9. AMZ Pathfinder

Hybrid fee: base plus share of non-branded ad revenue. Location not stated on its site. AMZ Pathfinder charges a base fee (amount not published) plus 1.5% of non-branded advertising revenue, with branded campaign revenue excluded and no per-SKU or percentage-of-spend fee. It runs Sponsored Ads, DSP, Google Ads for Amazon, listing work and storefronts, using the Prestozon tool for automation, across the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and India.

• Best for: Established brands already at $100K or more in monthly Amazon revenue.
• Pricing: Base fee plus 1.5% of non-branded ad revenue
• Contract: Two-month minimum, then month to month with 30 days notice.
• Watch out for: Its Amazon partner status is not confirmed on its own pages, case studies date from 2019 to 2021 and the latest dated post we saw is from February 2025.

10. AdBadger

Self-serve PPC software with a managed option. Austin, Texas, per its footer. AdBadger is software first. Plans run from $275 a month (up to $5,000 in ad spend) to $1,830 (up to $1.5M), and its managed service covers Seller Central, Vendor Central and KDP with daily bids and negatives, weekly keyword mining and a monthly audit. Its management page says 5% of managed spend with a $2,500 monthly minimum and Amazon Verified Partner status.

• Best for: Sellers that want to run their own PPC with software first, and move to managed help later.
• Pricing: Software $275 to $1,830 a month. Managed: 5% of spend with a $2,500 minimum (one page)
• Contract: Not stated.
• Watch out for: Its managed price differs between its own pages (5%, flat fee or custom), and the managed service is a side offer to the software.

11. Emplicit

Full-service marketplace agency. Offices in San Diego, New York, Chicago and Seattle. Emplicit covers PPC, listing optimization, inventory, account health, brand protection, logistics and content, plus off-Amazon marketing and TikTok Shop. It claims Amazon Ads Verified Partner and Service Provider Network membership, $100M+ in managed ad spend and 450+ brands (all agency claims, with different figures in different parts of its homepage). It also offers a reseller model in which it takes over payouts.

• Best for: Consumer brands that want PPC as one part of a wider marketplace package.
• Pricing: Not published. Proposal request
• Contract: Not stated.
• Watch out for: Its homepage figures are inconsistent (years in business, sales, brand count), and the reseller model is a control trade-off.

12. My Amazon Guy

Large full-service agency with quote-based pricing. Atlanta, Georgia, with staff in more than 10 countries. My Amazon Guy lists 400+ employees and covers PPC with weekly reporting, DSP, listing SEO, A+ content, brand stores, account health and suspension reinstatement, catalog work and reimbursements. It claims Amazon Ads partner and Service Provider Network status (agency claims). Quotes follow a free ASIN review or PPC audit, with no fixed minimum stated. Its own guide to PPC agencies ranks itself first, so read that guide as marketing.

• Best for: Brands doing roughly $1M or more a year on Amazon that want ads, listings and account health from one large team.
• Pricing: Quote-based, no prices published
• Contract: Not stated for ongoing management. The free ASIN review has no obligation.
• Watch out for: Pricing is opaque and, as a large full-service shop, it may be too much for sellers that want PPC only.

13. Trivium

Supplements, health and CPG specialist. Location not stated. Founder Mina Elias. Trivium says it has 80+ people, 300+ brands and $24M+ in annual Amazon ad spend under management, with a focus on CPG, health, wellness and supplements. It offers PPC, DSP, creative and listing work, account management and TikTok Shop, and describes itself as a verified Amazon Ads partner (agency claims). It says each strategist handles up to five brands, and lists Inc. 5000 and Clutch 2025 awards.

• Best for: Supplement and CPG brands that want a category specialist.
• Pricing: Not published. Free audit
• Contract: Not stated.
• Watch out for: No pricing, contract terms, headquarters or founding year are on its site, and the specialism is narrow.

14. beBOLD Digital

Beauty-first agency with vendor recovery. Costa Mesa, California. beBOLD manages Sponsored Products, Brands (including video) and Display plus Amazon DSP, listing SEO, A+ content and brand stores, and runs vendor chargeback and FBA reimbursement recovery for a share of what it recovers. It lists Amazon Ads Verified Partner status and has a client analytics platform. It focuses on beauty, baby and pet brands and works on Amazon and Walmart.

• Best for: Beauty, baby and pet brands, and vendors that need chargeback recovery.
• Pricing: Its own fees are not published
• Contract: Not stated.
• Watch out for: Beauty-first positioning makes it a weaker fit for other categories, and price and contract terms are not public.

15. Seller Interactive

Full account management from Toronto. Began in Toronto in 2010. Seller Interactive covers full account management, PPC, SEO, listing optimization, brand protection, suspension appeals, reimbursement recovery and DSP, and also works on Walmart and TikTok Shop. It offers a free Amazon growth audit followed by a tailored proposal. It claims 1,300+ brands, $50M+ in managed ad spend and $500M+ in managed revenue (agency claims).

• Best for: Brands that want one team for account health, ads and listings, and are comfortable with a proposal-based price.
• Pricing: Not published. Free audit then proposal
• Contract: Not stated.
• Watch out for: Its headline results are mostly one-month windows, and the 1,300+ brand count sits oddly beside an 18-person team page.

16. Ad Advance

Software-driven ads agency, now part of Podean. Duluth, Minnesota. Advertising on Amazon since 2017. Ad Advance runs sponsored ads, display, video and audio through DSP and Amazon Marketing Cloud reports and Audience Builder, using its Streamline software for dynamic bidding on hourly Amazon Marketing Stream data.

• Best for: Brands advertising on Amazon and Walmart that want software-driven bidding and DSP.
• Pricing: Not published
• Contract: Not stated.
• Watch out for: The ownership change matters: its site now says it is joining Podean, its software is due to fold into Podean’s platform, and the focus may drift towards larger brands.

17. BellaVix

Amazon and Walmart management for DTC and vendors. Location not stated. Founders Will and Ivonne Haire. BellaVix handles Seller Central and Vendor Central, PPC and DSP, Walmart marketing, creative, listings and organic work. It describes itself as a certified Amazon Advertising provider and Service Provider Network member and shows a Clutch badge. Its client logos include Procter & Gamble, Pyrex and Instant Pot.

• Best for: DTC brands and wholesale vendors that want Amazon and Walmart together.
• Pricing: Not published. ‘Transparent pricing’ with no figures
• Contract: Not stated.

18. Amazon Growth Lab

Boutique agency with a capped intake. Culver City, California. Amazon Growth Lab covers PPC, DSP, listing optimization, account management, creative, A+ content, storefronts, brand protection and review management, with in-house experts. It says it has 12+ years of experience and takes only five new clients a month (agency claims). Its homepage lists well-known consumer brands, and several headline results are testimonials or have no stated time frame.

• Best for: Brands that want a small, selective agency and can wait for an opening.
• Pricing: Not published. Its blog quotes market ranges, not its own fees
• Contract: No long-term contracts (agency claim).
• Watch out for: It claims no Amazon Ads partner badge, does not itemise ad types and the five-client cap may mean a waitlist.

How We Ranked the Best Amazon PPC Agencies

We started from the agencies that appear most often in published Amazon PPC lists, then read each one’s own website: its services, pricing and about pages, case studies and recent posts. We kept an agency only if it appeared active and described Amazon advertising as a real service. Two names that appear in many lists were dropped. One states on its own homepage that it closed in October 2026, and another is a software product whose own site we could not read. Three well-known marketing agencies were left out because Amazon is a single line in a long list of services and they claim no Amazon partner status.

Many published lists are written by agencies or software companies that put themselves first, so treat any single ranking, including this one, as a starting point. Partner badges and results are the agencies’ own claims. Check Amazon’s partner directory and ask for references before you sign.

What Do Amazon PPC Management Services Include?

What Is Included in the Monthly Fee

Core PPC management is the day-to-day work on your ad account. Everything beyond it is usually scoped, and priced, separately. Ask which of these are in the base fee:

Core PPC management against common add-ons

What Is Billed Separately

Setup or audit fees, creative production, software seats and minimum terms are the usual extras. Ask for each as its own line, and ask whether the ad spend itself is paid to Amazon (it is, and it sits outside the management fee).

Ad Types an Amazon PPC Agency Manages

The core of the work is Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display, and some agencies add Amazon DSP. The structure of a good account matters as much as the bids. If you want to understand the mechanics first, read our guides to Amazon Sponsored Products and keyword research for Amazon PPC, then the Amazon PPC strategy for beginners.

How Much Does Amazon PPC Management Cost? Agency Pricing Models and Fees

Amazon PPC Agency Pricing Models

Agencies bill in four ways, and the model you choose changes who benefits when you spend more.

Amazon PPC agency fee models

Fees Amazon PPC Agencies Publish

Fees the agencies publish on their own sites (read 4 November 2026)

Amazon PPC Agency Fees by Brand Size

Other guides quote ranges such as $1,500 to $8,000 a month or 10 to 20% of ad spend, and some put a percentage fee at 15 to 30%. Those figures come from agencies and software vendors, and they disagree, so use them as a rough guide only. The floors in this list give a better sense of size: Olifant Digital asks for a $2,000 retainer, Clear Ads Agency and My Amazon Guy look for about $1M a year in sales, and AMZ Pathfinder asks for $100K a month in revenue. Small accounts usually fit software or a freelancer better.

ACoS and TACoS: Which Number Should the Fee Follow?

ACoS is ad spend divided by ad revenue, times 100, and the Amazon Ads ACOS guide says it has to sit below your profit margin. TACoS divides ad spend by your total sales, organic included. It is a seller convention rather than an Amazon-defined metric, but it shows whether ads are growing the whole business. The honest way to compare agencies is a written quote from three of them with the same scope. See ACoS versus TACoS to decide which number the fee should follow.

Amazon PPC Agency vs Software vs In-House vs Freelancer

Three ways to run Amazon advertising

Many sellers start with software, then add an agency for DSP or a launch. For tool options read our guide to the best Amazon PPC tools. If you also want help beyond ads, see the best Amazon marketing services and Amazon FBA agencies for full-service growth.

How to Choose the Right Amazon PPC Agency

Amazon Ads Partner Status

Look for Amazon Ads Verified or Advanced Partner status and confirm it in Amazon’s partner directory, not just on the agency’s badge. A tier is earned by showing expertise and results, and it is one data point, not a guarantee.

Seller Central and Vendor Central Experience

Make sure the team knows your account type and category, because the levers differ between the two.

Reporting and Raw Data Access

You should see search term reports and placement data, not only a summary.

Dedicated vs Pooled Account Manager

Ask who exactly will touch your account and how many other brands they handle.

More Criteria Worth Checking

• Fee structure that matches your goal. A percentage of spend rewards spending, so tie some of the fee to profit or TACoS.
• Category specialisation. A supplement or beauty brand benefits from an agency that knows those compliance rules.
• Onboarding and audit. A good agency starts with an audit and a written plan before changing bids.
• Fit with your size. Some agencies only accept $100K a month or more, others start at a few hundred dollars.

Questions to Ask Before Hiring an Amazon PPC Agency

• Who owns the advertising account, and what do I get if I leave?
• Which metric will you be judged on: ACoS, TACoS or profit after fees?
• What is the contract length, the notice period and any setup fee?
• Which of Sponsored Products, Brands, Display and DSP are in the fee, and what costs extra?
• Who will manage my account day to day, and how many other brands do they handle?
• How often do you change bids and add negative keywords, and can I see the change log?
• Can I speak to a client in my category that has been with you for over a year?
• What happens to my results if the agency is acquired or the account manager leaves?

Red Flags When Hiring an Amazon PPC Agency

• Guaranteed results. No one controls bids, competitors and Amazon’s auction, so a guarantee is a sales line.
• No access to the ad account. If you cannot log in and see the reports yourself, you cannot check the work.
• Results with no baseline or time frame. ‘Sales up 300%’ means little without the starting point and the period.
• Case studies with no named client. Anonymised studies are common, so ask for references.
• A long lock-in. Two or three months is normal for onboarding. Twelve months of fees with no exit clause is not.
• Only ACoS in the report. ACoS ignores organic sales and profit, so ask for TACoS too.
• An agency that ranks itself first. Many top-ranking lists are written by the agencies they recommend. Verify claims elsewhere.

When Should You Hire an Amazon PPC Agency (and When Not To)?

Hire one when ad spend is large enough that a few points of efficiency cover the fee, when you lack the time or skill to manage campaigns weekly, or when you are scaling fast and need a team. An agency is hard to justify when your monthly ad spend is small, your listings convert poorly, or you are still choosing products. In those cases a weak listing wastes ad spend however well the campaigns are run, so fix it first with our guide to Amazon listing optimization services. If your costs are already high, start with how to lower your Amazon ACoS before paying a retainer.

Also remember that retainers often exceed what a small account can earn back. A seller spending $2,000 a month on ads gains little from a $2,500 fee, which is why several agencies above set a floor on ad spend or revenue.

What Should an Amazon PPC Agency Contract Include?

• Term and notice. Month to month, or a short start of two or three months, with a clear notice period.
• Account ownership. The ad account stays in your name, with the agency given manager access.
• Reporting access. Raw search term data and a change log, not only a summary.
• Handover. What the agency returns, and how fast, if you leave.
• Scope and fees. What is in the base fee and what is billed separately, in writing.

How to Measure Whether Your Amazon PPC Agency Is Working

Agree the baseline before the first change: ACoS, TACoS, ad sales, total sales and organic rank for your main keywords. A 90-day review is a common convention among agencies, not an Amazon rule, so treat the timeline below as a typical rhythm and not a benchmark.

A typical 30, 60 and 90 day review rhythm

An illustration of the arithmetic, with round numbers and not a benchmark: if you spend $10,000 on ads and ads bring in $40,000, ACoS is 25%. If total sales that month are $100,000, TACoS is 10%. If ACoS rises but TACoS falls, ads may be lifting organic sales, so look at both before you judge the agency.

Amazon DSP vs Sponsored Ads: What an Amazon PPC Agency Should Manage

Some do and some do not. Among the agencies above, Clear Ads Agency, SalesDuo, Tinuiti, Ad Advance, IG PPC and AMZDUDES list Amazon DSP, while others focus on Sponsored Ads. DSP needs larger budgets, and Clear Ads Agency states a revenue threshold for it. If display and retargeting are a priority, compare the best Amazon DSP agencies separately.
