4 of the Best Amazon PPC Management Agencies

One of the biggest issues that beginners face is Amazon PPC management. After all, it is a confusing aspect of the journey, and some look for agencies.

But who can you trust? After all, there seems to be a massive amount of options out there.

Are these agencies just there to spend your monthly ad budget, with next to no ROI? Or will you actually get profitable results?

In this blog post, I’ll be showcasing a few of the best Amazon PPC agencies. Not only that, the hazards you should watch out for too.

Amazon PPC Management Agencies vary massively

There seems to be a lot of these companies popping up over the last few months. I should know – I’m inundated with them. Some are asking to be showcased right here on the blog.

If you’re new to the outsourcing world, then there are things you need to ask:

  • How long have they been in business for?
  • Which clients do they serve? Big sellers or small?
  • Who actually runs the ads? What is their experience?
  • What is the minimum ad-spend for someone quite new?
  • Is there guarantees that you’ll actually get a positive ROAS?
  • Are you merely a number in their system, or treated as a human?
  • Where do they work? Do they actually have a real office address & staff?

All good questions to ask. After all, using an Amazon management specialist as a seller is quite a big investment.

Amazon PPC Management
I would always go with an Amazon PPC Management Agency who has a real team in an office.

Well done on researching this too! Too often I see new FBA sellers rush in blind and spend up big on product advertising on Amazon, only to be in a break-even position.

Now, let’s jump into that list, in no particular order…

Voy Media

These guys are seriously worth the price you pay. They aren’t cheap, but then they aren’t for the cheap Amazon seller anyway. You really have to be spending at least $2k/month on ads for this to be worth it.

This is a large agency with teams and supervisors. PPC management is all they do, and is my #1 recommendation. Hence why they’re top of this list.

These guys offer a suite of services including PPC management and photography. They currently have hundreds of clients, and with a smaller team, can offer more affordable pricing.

As a newer operation, they are designed for more so the beginner. The person who’s feeling a little awkward with turning on PPC.

Amazowl

Much like Voy Media, Amazowl is entirely dedicated to Amazon PPC and ad management. This narrow focus allows them to get really, really good at what they do.

I’m always surprised that more agencies aren’t this focused. After all, PPC on Amazon is the way forward to successfully launch a product.

Single Grain

Unlike other companies who set about running ads for you, Single Grain looks to develop a specific marketing plan. This way you’re getting a custom deal, not some pre-packaged plan.

These guys research trends and collect data in order to make the best decision for your ad-spend. Not only that, but they offer a suite of complimentary services to scale your Amazon business.

Note: This list is being expanded as I evaluate more companies and their services.

My recommendation

I would recommend that all existing Amazon sellers become more educated on Amazon PPC. After all, it’s not that complicated.

A good course I would recommend is Sean Smith’s PPC management course, though the PPC AMS Accelerator is roughly the price of 2 months with an Amazon PPC management company.

But if you’re not educated, then how do you know your agency is? How can you know that you’re getting the best bang-for-buck? You don’t. That’s where education comes into play.

So you can become educated, to a certain degree, but outsource your Amazon advertising management to another company. This way you can focus on effective Amazon product sourcing and scaling your business.

In closing

These are just 4 of the many options out there. These have feedback and testimonials from existing clients. I’ll be building out this list further in coming months.

I wouldn’t choose an Amazon FBA PPC Management company based on cost alone. There is so much more to the game. I would look for value, and most importantly, a positive return on ad spend.

Never forget your bottom-line as an Amazon seller. Outsourcing your ad management for your product listings is a wise idea, but only if you’re accelerating ahead, when compared to running ads in house.

Five by Five Web Design Review (What you didn’t know…)

If you’re looking for a digital marketing agency on the Gold Coast, then read this! I’ll evaluate and review Five by Five Web Design from Burleigh Heads.

There’s some stuff that you probably didn’t know prior, and it’s good that you’re here doing your research. I’ve been personally building websites for years, and I’ve seen some real issues in the digital marketing space for offline business owners.

This blog of mine started almost 10 years ago. I’ve helped to provide countless advice to individuals and business owners, and my readership is now thousands every week.

Further, there are hundreds that have discovered how to start the free course which provides a strategy for the laptop lifestyle and actually get true freedom. More on that later.

Five by Five Web Design

Let’s jump into this. Are they any good? Should you go ahead with their quotation? Will you get decent after-sales support? How does their pricing rate compared to competitors?

All good questions to have. It’s good that you’re researching here.

Five by Five web design is based in Burleigh Heads yet has clients across Australia. They work with both large and small companies, such as sole operators up to multinational companies. Qantas and Jeep are examples of their clients.

Five by Five Web Design Review Burleigh
Having a website that converts leads into phone calls is paramount

They build their websites predominantly on WordPress. This is a platform I also use across my 10 websites, and yes, including this blog. A lot of web designers like, trust and understand WordPress more than any other online content management system.

There’s some features of this digital marketing agency that I liked:

  • Regular check-ins with clients to ensure they’re happy campers
  • An unlimited amount of small fixes & changes on your website
  • Provides web design, SEO, web strategy and mobile services
  • Have delivered over 3,000 projects to clients across Australia
  • Very solid review ratings for Five by Five web design online
  • Actually walk the talk, as their own website is pretty solid

Some things could be improved upon:

  • Less of a focus on PPC (Adwords) and social media management
  • Large team means that pricing is likely higher than some others

There weren’t too many downsides. These guys seem rock solid and have earned those dozens of 5 star reviews you’ve no-doubt seen on Google.

What you didn’t know

Truth is: This industry is simply full of cowboys. Most people have no idea when it comes to web design and effective digital marketing. Yes, including myself at times.

My blog here is still a work in progress, and for that reason, I refuse to take on clients. I’d much rather work on my Amazon business than anything else.

I’d say that 90% of digital marketing agencies have just about no idea. Most have built 1 or 2 websites prior. You’re probably being called multiple times daily from people seeking to improve your rankings and lead generation.

Truth is, there isn’t many companies I would recommend. Luckily, Five by Five is one of them.

Decisions should be based on results first, not price. These guys certainly aren’t the cheapest. But if you’re looking for value for money, then you’ll likely find it here. With 13 years of experience, it’s clear that they’ve mastered the game of effective web design on the Gold Coast, with clients across Australia too.

Moving forward

Enhancing your digital presence is very important for businesses today. Consider the cost to be an investment into the future. But as I’ve outlined, there’s not many companies that get it right. If you find one with strong reviews, as is the case with Five by Five, then I’d recommend that you run with them.

On the other hand, if you’re considering a ‘career change’ and seek true freedom, then consider the free course provide here. It’s where I learned how to unplug from the daily grind of business. Thousands of Australians have learned how to do exactly this.

Reviewing Excite Media Brisbane (I’ll Expose The Industry Truth)

Performing some research on Excite Media in Brisbane? This review is completely unbiased and is based on my digital media and dealing with agencies.

I’m Joshua, based on the Gold Coast and have been blogging here for almost a decade. In that time I’ve seen some real changes in the marketing and design space.

Since starting this blog, I’ve devoted my time towards building digital businesses so I could live the laptop lifestyle. That is – no phone calls. After 7 years of work, I made that possible in April 2018. Now I strive to help others accomplish the same outcome.

You might wish to find out more about me or enroll in this free course available to all Australians currently.

Excite Media review: Should you go ahead?

That title is probably relates to the #1 question on your mind. Before I get into my own opinion on Excite Media, I’ll reveal the truth about the industry. Perhaps they’ve told you, or perhaps this is the first time you’ll discover this.

90% of digital marketing agencies have literally no idea. They use a churn and burn business model, and often have no vested interest in the outcome.

Literally most of them took a course last month, and have built perhaps 2 websites previously. Chances are that they’re for family members. Digital marketing has a very low barrier to entry, and some of you reading this can do 95% of their tasks yourself without too much effort. That is, if you have time to pull away from your business. Most businesses are time-heavy and don’t allow that level of freedom.

You’re probably being called multiple times weekly by such cowboys. They’re trying to claim that they’re the best, but are they? It’s hard to validate at times. Luckily Excite Media does have some great reviews available online. Also, unlike some other agencies, their focus is really on Queensland.

There’s some other things I liked, which include:

  • 10 years experience in webdesign and full suite marketing
  • Friendly team including Australian-based representatives
  • Extensive portfolio of existing clients they’ve worked with
  • Provide a full suite of services based upon business needs
  • Very experienced and passionate team at the Excite helm

At the same time, given their staff size, I expect the pricing to be a little higher than perhaps some competitors. It’s often a case of getting what you pay for with digital marketing agencies. When I revealed that 90% of agencies have no idea (which is disappointingly true), you’ll find the bulk of these in the cheap end of town.

If results are what you’re after, then don’t choose cheap. Go for results.

Choosing a real freedom business

If you’re a business owner, then chances are that your time is very limited. Strangely enough, more time (and money) is why we all choose to get into business in the first place.

It wasn’t too long ago that I also struggled day to day with very little time. I had to find a way out of a very poor work-life balance. Luckily, I did find something….and it was very close to home!

Excite Media Brisbane Review
Tough day at the office! Main Beach is commonly deserted on a weekday.

I’ve since been on this incredible journey, paired with a very supportive community. Those that have jumped on board have been very like-minded with some becoming life-long friends. If you’re curious – we’re online sellers. Our own physical products, with our own branding, open to hundreds of millions of customers worldwide.

From that, after some time, we become location independent. Some people have chosen to travel, whilst others have chosen to scale their businesses to the 7 figure mark. Either way, this is not only possible, but thousands of Australians are already on board. eCommerce very much is changing the world.

I currently work with the following people:

  • Current business owners who are just too burnt out
  • People willing and able to commit to a new project
  • Those seeking much greater flexibility in their lives
  • Families wishing to spend more time with their kids

If that’s you, then consider jumping on board with this 100% FREE online training course. All the modules will be sent to your email address instantly. No catches. No BS. Just straight into the content.

Next steps

Through my research and evaluation of Excite Media, I found the vast majority of customers to have great experiences, with dozens of real reviews left. You’ll no doubt find these across several websites such as Google and Facebook.

There’s not too many digital marketing agencies I could recommend, but these guys do get my tick of approval. Especially as they’re quite local too.

I high recommending outsourcing elements of your business that you’re not highly skilled in, so you can focus on the more important things in life. And if you’re looking to scale massively, then jump on board here. The world’s #1 company is looking for partners to collaborate on their platform, and this could be exactly what you were looking for!
