This guide is educational. Use it to evaluate any agency, including ours.
Know What You Need First
Write down your goal before you speak to agencies. Do you need a full private label launch? Do you need only PPC or listing work? Do you need account recovery? A clear goal makes every quote easier to compare.
Our Amazon services overview explains the difference between a full launch and standalone services.
Ten Questions to Ask Before You Hire
- Who owns the accounts? The Seller Central account and the brand must stay in your name.
- Who owns the trademark? File it in your name or your company name.
- What exactly is included? Ask for a written scope with deliverables.
- How do you charge? Compare flat fees and revenue-share models.
- How often do you report? Ask for a weekly or monthly report with real metrics.
- Can you show relevant experience? Ask for examples in your product category.
- Who will work on my account? Meet the person who manages it.
- What is the contract length? Check the notice period and exit terms.
- How do you handle policy risk? Ask how they protect your account health.
- Can I meet you in person? A real office adds accountability.
Red Flags to Avoid
- Guaranteed rankings or guaranteed sales.
- Requests for full control of your bank account.
- No written contract or scope.
- Vague answers about who does the work.
- Pressure to pay a large amount upfront.
- No verifiable reviews or case studies.
Common Pricing Models
| Model | How it works | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Flat monthly fee | You pay a fixed fee for a defined scope | Scope creep and extra charges |
| Revenue share | The agency takes a percentage of sales | Unclear revenue definitions |
| Project fee | You pay once for a launch or an audit | What happens after the project ends |
| Hybrid | A lower fee plus a performance bonus | Fair targets and reporting |
How to Score Agency Proposals
Give each agency a score from 1 to 5 on the points below. Add the scores and compare. This keeps the decision fair.
| Criteria | What a strong answer looks like |
|---|---|
| Account ownership | All accounts and the brand stay in your name |
| Scope clarity | A written list of tasks and deliverables |
| Reporting | A fixed schedule with real metrics |
| Category experience | Examples close to your product type |
| Team access | You meet the person who manages your account |
| Contract terms | Fair notice period and easy exit |
What a Good First 90 Days Look Like
- Days 1 to 14: audit, goals and access setup. You keep ownership of every account.
- Days 15 to 45: product research or listing work, plus trademark and brand setup.
- Days 46 to 75: launch, advertising tests and review building within Amazon policy.
- Days 76 to 90: a full report, lessons and a plan for the next quarter.
Timelines vary by category and budget. A good agency explains the plan before you pay.
Protect Your Account Health
- Give the agency user access, not your password.
- Keep two-step verification on your own device.
- Ask how the agency avoids review manipulation.
- Check that every listing claim is accurate and allowed.
- Review reports for account health and policy warnings.
Checklist Before You Sign
- Read the scope and the cancellation terms.
- Confirm who owns creative files and data.
- Check reviews and ask for references.
- Ask what happens if results are slower than planned.
- Keep a copy of every agreement.
Why a Local Office Helps
A Lahore office lets you meet the team and review work in person. You can sign documents, discuss sensitive product plans and resolve issues faster. You still need the same checks, whether the agency is local or remote.
RGB LOGIX offers an Amazon agency service in Lahore with a Jail Road office. You can also read about private label launch and standalone Amazon services.
