Quick answer: The right amazon agency uk brands hire in 2026-2027 depends on model and budget. Sitruna and Lezzat suit full-service Amazon work, Why Matters publishes the clearest Shopify rates (£650–£2,500+ a month), and Swanky and Charle lead on Shopify Plus. Expect roughly £1,500–£12,000 a month for Amazon management. Prices last verified October 2026.

Disclosure: Cotasks is one of the ten agencies below. No listed agency paid for a place, and we applied the same checks to ourselves, including the limitations.

Choosing an amazon agency uk sellers can trust is harder than it should be. Most agencies hide fees behind a "book a call" button, so you cannot compare like with like. This guide covers ten UK-serving agencies for Amazon and Shopify, the prices each one actually publishes, and the gaps we could not verify.

The uncomfortable headline: only two of the ten publish GBP starting prices on their own sites. Where an agency does not publish a rate, we write "Pricing on request" and show a labelled market range instead.

Best Amazon agency UK shortlist: quick comparison of 10 agencies

Ten agencies are compared below across London, Manchester and remote delivery. "Starting price" means a figure the agency itself publishes.

Last verified: October 2026. Prices exclude VAT unless an agency says otherwise.

How we evaluated these agencies

We checked each agency's own website on 14 October 2026 and recorded only what the page said. Criteria: specialism (Amazon, Shopify or both), pricing transparency, contract terms, UK presence, and evidence such as partner badges and case studies, treated as the agency's own claims.

We did not audit client results, check Companies House filings, or verify Clutch and Trustpilot ratings. Agency revenue figures are unaudited, and third-party price reports are labelled.

Sitruna: a London Amazon agency UK brands can use for full service

Sitruna is based on Essex Road, London, and bundles ads, content and operations. Its site claims the largest team of ex-Amazonians in the UK, which is its own claim.

Services

Amazon advertising, creative (A+ Content, storefronts, video), operations support, a data app and a 3PL logistics arm.

Services

PPC and DSP, creative, expansion, account reinstatement, full account management and a vendor service. Its FAQ cites 50+ vendor brands.

Olifant has a London office alongside New York, Los Angeles, Berlin and Sofia. It is US-founded, so ask how UK-specific your team will be.

Services

Amazon management and PPC, listing optimisation, Meta and Google ads, email and SMS, CRO.

Cons

USD pricing, and a focus on established brands.

Services

Web design and development, SEO, PPC, social, email and digital PR.

Amazon agency UK pricing: how much does it cost?

Most UK Amazon agencies charge £1,500–£12,000 a month as a flat retainer, or 10–20% of ad spend, according to Mr Prime's 2026 pricing guide. Boutique fees can start near £1,000. This is ecommerce agency uk pricing at its most variable, because scope and ad spend drive the quote.

Mr Prime also tiers its market: indie agencies at £1,250–£3,500 a month, mid-market at £3,500–£8,000, premium at £8,000–£16,750+. That is one agency's view of its own market.

What does Amazon PPC management cost?

Galaxy Agency's 2026 guide puts UK Amazon PPC agency fees at £800 to £5,000+ a month. Ad budget is separate; Lezzat says budgets can start from £10 a day, though effective campaigns usually need more.

What do A+ Content and vendor management cost?

We found no verified published GBP rate for either; agencies price on scope. Mr Prime's worked example budgets £2,500 once for eight SKU refreshes (photography, A+ redesign, video). Ask for itemised quotes, and see Cotasks' Amazon PPC management service.

What does a Shopify agency UK brands hire actually cost?

UK Shopify agency costs split into projects and retainers. Why Matters' 2026 guide lists theme customisation at £2,000–£5,000, custom builds at £5,000–£20,000+, Shopify Plus builds at £15,000–£50,000+, and retainers at about £650–£3,000+ a month.

Other sources run higher: StoreBuilt (2026) gives £2,000–£8,000+ a month for growth retainers and £30,000–£80,000+ for Plus builds. Any Shopify agency UK quote depends on scope, so compare like for like.

Shopify's own plan fees are separate. Its UK pricing page (checked October 2026) lists Basic at £25 monthly or £19 billed yearly, Grow at £65 or £49, Advanced at £344 or £259, and Shopify Plus from £1,800 a month. Shopify Payments online card rates run from 2% + 25p on Basic to 1.3% + 25p on Plus.

Ask any agency who owns your Google Merchant Center feed, and get Shopify development scope in writing before you sign.

Amazon Seller (3P) vs Vendor (1P): which UK Amazon agency do you need?

Seller Central (3P) means you sell directly and set your own prices. Vendor Central (1P) means Amazon buys wholesale and sells as the retailer. A uk amazon vendor agency handles purchase orders, content compliance and retail promotions instead of FBA and pricing.

Lezzat offers a dedicated vendor service. Cotasks lists Vendor Central EDI integration. Ask any agency for named UK vendor accounts it handles.

Amazon agency UK vs in-house hire: which costs less?

An agency usually costs less than a full in-house team until your Amazon operation is large. Lezzat claims an in-house team costs over £100,000 a year in salaries, tools and training, an agency's estimate we have not verified against UK salary data.

Agency rows are our arithmetic on the retainers above; ad spend, creative and tools are extra.

Is a London, Manchester or remote agency better?

For Amazon work, location matters little because accounts run remotely. For Shopify builds, local workshops matter more. Yaxify's 2026 UK guide reports London custom themes at £12,000–£25,000 against £8,000–£20,000 regionally.

• London: Sitruna, Charle and Olifant's London office. Expect higher rates.
• Manchester: Soap Media and Digital Media Team quote on request, and neither describes Amazon-specific services.
• Remote or regional: Mr Prime (Worthing), Lezzat (Reading) and Why Matters (Brighton/Hove).

Do you need an Amazon consultant in London?

Searching for an Amazon consultant London brands can hire? A consultant gives strategy and audits for a day rate, while an agency runs the account monthly. Choose a consultant for one-off advice and an agency for ongoing PPC and listings.

How do you choose an Amazon agency UK sellers can trust?

Use this seven-point checklist:

1. Specialism: Amazon, Shopify or both, matched to your channel.
2. Pricing clarity: itemised fees, with exclusions written down.
3. Reporting: ACoS, TACoS and revenue reported regularly.
4. Account ownership: your Seller Central and Shopify stay in your name.
5. Contract terms: short minimum terms and clear notice.
6. References: named UK clients you can contact.
7. Fit: the team size and seniority assigned to you.

What makes the best Amazon PPC agency UK sellers can hire?

The best Amazon PPC agency UK sellers can hire reports TACoS, not only ACoS, and ties ad spend to profit. Lezzat suggests keeping advertising below 10% of monthly Amazon revenue. Cotasks' Prime Deal Days post-mortem shows the kind of numbers worth requesting.

Red flags

• Guaranteed rankings or sales.
• No reporting, or reports you cannot reconcile with Seller Central.
• Sole control of your account login.
• Long lock-ins: Mr Prime criticises 12-month terms with 90-day notice.
• No pricing anywhere, plus pressure to sign.

What should you ask an Amazon agency UK sellers shortlist before signing?

• Which UK categories have you managed?
• Who works on my account, and where are they based?
• What does the retainer include, and what costs extra?
• What are the minimum term and notice period?
• Can I see a sample report?
• How do you handle my data under UK GDPR?
• What happens to my assets if we part ways?

If you also need search visibility, ask about SEO services or wider UK digital marketing.

Conclusion: how to shortlist your Amazon agency UK options

Start with the model that fits you: full-service Amazon (Sitruna, Lezzat), hybrid fees (Mr Prime), Shopify transparency (Why Matters) or Shopify Plus depth (Swanky, Charle). Shortlist three, request itemised quotes, and compare terms before price. Online sales were 27.3% of UK retail sales in August 2026, according to the Office for National Statistics, so the channel is worth getting right.
