The short answer
Why choose Olifant Digital over My Amazon Guy for Amazon?

You meet the specialists who will run your account before you sign, and they stay on it. Also need Walmart, Target, Meta or Google? The same senior team runs them.
My Amazon Guy is a well-known name with a large team, TikTok Shop services and a big free education library through YouTube and MAG School, which suits brands that value scale and self-serve learning.

We also run Walmart and Target, and for brands that also sell direct to consumer, our team covers Meta and Google Ads.

And in the 63 Amazon ad accounts we manage, 87% of Sponsored Brands sales came from shoppers new to the brand, so our ads grow the customer base, not only harvest existing demand.

Who is My Amazon Guy?
My Amazon Guy is a large, full-service Amazon agency. On its homepage, MAG says it manages 430+ brands and generates $1.2B+ in revenue on Amazon each year, and it displays logos including Nestlé and Honeywell. It was founded in 2018 by Steven Pope, whom MAG's leadership page describes as a thought leader.
The agency has grown fast. Steven Pope started it in his basement, and MAG says it now has more than 500 employees. MAG also runs MAG School, with over 20 courses, and a YouTube channel with thousands of video tutorials, so education is a big part of what it does.
MAG organizes client work in pods led by Brand Managers. Its Walmart service page describes a team of "Brand Managers, PPC specialists, and catalog experts", and its services also cover TikTok Shop and DTC services.
Why brands look for My Amazon Guy alternatives
MAG is well reviewed overall: it holds a 4.5 TrustScore from about 495 reviews on Trustpilot. Trustpilot's AI summary of MAG reviews notes one recurring theme among the critical ones:
"Some reviewers were not happy with frequent changes in assigned teams and faced an increase in advertising costs without seeing the promised sales growth."
If you are evaluating any agency, ask who will run your account day to day, and read the notice period and renewal terms before you sign.
Why brands switch Amazon agencies: what we hear on sales calls
We reviewed 28 recent sales calls with brands looking for a new Amazon partner (2026 data, anonymised). 19 of the 28 already worked with an agency or freelancer. These are the reasons they gave most often for wanting to change, counted once per call:
| Reason for wanting to change | Sales calls (of 28) |
|---|---|
| Results stalled or declined | 11 |
| No strategy, no new ideas | 11 |
| Inexperienced staff, AI-only management or handoffs | 5 |
| In-house team out of time or expertise | 5 |
In their own words (paraphrased and anonymised; these refer to previous agencies in general, not to My Amazon Guy):
"They've worked on it for a year and nothing. I don't see any growth opportunity."
"They rely only on AI. Nobody looks at the account unless we have a meeting."
"The previous agency focused on top-level metrics, not on detailed profitability targets."
The problems we find first are consistent too. On those calls, listing content and conversion rate came up in 12, high ACoS or TACoS in 9, weak images and video in 9, and poor campaign structure in 8. That is why the first weeks of every engagement go to an audit of listings, structure and search terms before any budget increase.
How Olifant Digital compares: the key differences
| Differentiator | My Amazon Guy | Olifant Digital |
|---|---|---|
| Team experience | Pods led by Brand Managers, with PPC specialists and catalog experts | Senior specialists only, 7+ years minimum; the team you meet runs the account |
| Optimization cadence | Weekly reporting, bi-weekly calls | Daily optimization, weekly call |
| Strategy metric | ACOS and True ACOS in weekly reports | Target TACoS, ACoS and profit goal per product |
| Proof on Clutch | No published reviews | 5.0 from 20 verified reviews; #1 on Clutch's Top Amazon Marketing Agencies list |
| Channel coverage | Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop and DTC services | Amazon, Walmart and Target, plus Meta and Google for DTC brands |
Senior specialists only, with 7+ years minimum
To join our team, you need at least 7 years of experience. Because account continuity is a common complaint about Amazon agencies, we build it into our process: you meet the exact team that will run your account before you sign, and that team stays on it.
Our client relationships show it. Wedge Guys has worked with us since August 2022, Petralyte since February 2023 and Bullstrap since February 2025.
What Olifant Digital clients say on Clutch
We hold a 5.0 rating from 20 verified reviews on Clutch, with 5.0 for quality, cost and willingness to refer, and we are listed #1 on Clutch's Top Amazon Marketing Agencies list (October 2026). Brian Dalton, founder of Wedge Guys, wrote in September 2026 that we helped grow their sales from $2 million to $4.5 million while keeping ROAS above 3.0:
"They have a full team, and everyone knows their role and responsibility." (Brian Dalton, Founder, Wedge Guys, on Clutch)
What clients tell us on check-in calls
Reviews are one view. The other is what clients say on regular check-ins. Across 62 recent client check-in calls we reviewed (2026 data, anonymised), the most common praise was about results and growth (22 calls), expertise and strategy (13), better profitability (10) and proactive ideas (9).
"We're getting significantly better ROI for every dollar spent compared with last year."
"I've been really happy with the profitability tracking and the weekly updates."
Daily optimization on every account
Our team reviews and refines campaigns every day. For Spade to Fork, daily optimization was one of the key differences from previous agencies, which made changes once a week. Spade to Fork grew revenue 46% and cut ACoS by 19% in 44 days, as the Spade to Fork case study shows.
This daily work runs on Olifant AI, our in-house platform. It analyzes every campaign, keyword and placement daily, flags wasted spend and search terms that start to convert, and the specialist acts on it the same day. We also use a Kill Threshold Rule: it pauses a keyword when it has zero sales after 14 days and has spent twice what a single sale earns before ad costs.
The result shows in our own data. Across 63 Amazon ad accounts we manage (2026 data), search terms with 10 or more clicks and no sale took only 4.8% of ad spend.
TACoS-first strategy, not ROAS alone
| ROAS (revenue ÷ ad spend) | TACoS (ad spend ÷ total revenue, paid + organic) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it misses | Organic revenue driven by ads; new customer growth | Which campaign caused a change, so we read it next to ACoS per campaign |
| Risks | Can be inflated by bidding on branded terms only | Moves slowly, so it guides monthly direction while daily work uses product-level targets |
According to MAG's homepage, MAG's weekly reports cover ACOS and True ACOS. We set a target TACoS, ACoS and profit goal for every product (SKU) and judge results against them. ROAS can be inflated by bidding only on branded terms, so we prioritize TACoS to make sure new customer growth rises too. Check where your own account stands with our free Amazon TACoS calculator.
According to Jungle Scout's State of the Amazon Seller 2025 survey of nearly 1,500 sellers and brands, 32% of brands said growing advertising expenses are a concern. That's why we measure ad spend against total revenue. For Onsen Secret, the shift from ROAS to TACoS tripled profit.
Amazon first, plus Walmart and Target
Amazon is our core. The same senior team that runs your Amazon account can also run Walmart and Target, so your listings, ads and reporting stay consistent across marketplaces. For brands that also sell DTC, we run Meta and Google Ads to support Amazon growth. MAG also covers Walmart, TikTok Shop and DTC services.

| You're generating roughly $1M to $50M on Amazon and want to scale profitably | You want a large team of 500+ staff |
| You've been let down by agencies that promised results | You want TikTok Shop from the same agency |

When Olifant Digital is not the right fit
If you are under roughly $1M a year on Amazon, focus on listings and a simple campaign structure first, and bring in an agency once ads are ready to scale. MAG's courses and YouTube library can be a good place to learn the basics at that stage.
Who might prefer My Amazon Guy?
Amazon sellers who prioritize a big brand name will find comfort in MAG's well-known name in the industry. MAG's leadership page says it serves "clients big and small", and its YouTube education also suits sellers who prefer a more hands-on approach.
