Frequently asked questions
What do marketplace advertising agencies do?
Marketplace advertising agencies manage paid search, display ads, and sponsored product campaigns on platforms like Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. They also handle listing optimisation, keyword research, inventory forecasting, and performance reporting to maximise return on ad spend.
How much do marketplace advertising agencies charge?
Pricing varies significantly based on the agency model and the scope of work. Many charge a percentage of monthly ad spend, typically ranging from 10 to 20 percent, while others charge a flat monthly retainer starting anywhere from $1,000 to over $10,000 for enterprise accounts.
Should I hire an agency or manage marketplace ads in house?
Hiring an agency is generally beneficial if your brand lacks specialised internal expertise, struggles to scale profitable ad spend, or needs advanced software tools. In house management may work better for smaller brands with simple product catalogues and dedicated marketing staff.
