A My Amazon Guy Alternative
My Amazon Guy is unusual among agencies: founder Steven Pope has published thousands of free Amazon tutorials, and their site reports a YouTube library of 2,400+ videos. They're also large — their site states over 500 employees managing 430+ brands. Before comparing anything, the honest note is this: for some sellers, the free content is the answer and no agency is needed at all.
My Amazon Guy vs a custom system
| My Amazon Guy | Custom (OC Systems) | |
|---|---|---|
| Scale | States 500+ employees and 430+ brands managed | Small team; direct contact with whoever runs your account |
| Free education | Extensive — 2,400+ free videos per their own site | We'll point you at their videos if that's genuinely your fastest path |
| Scope | Full-service Amazon plus Walmart, Vendor Central, suspension recovery, and DTC channels | Amazon PPC and listings, plus SEO/Google Ads outside Amazon |
| Suspension & account issues | Yes — a stated specialty | No — this is not something we handle |
| Pricing | Not published | Flat management fee, quoted after a scoping call |
| Location | Georgia; national/remote | Costa Mesa, CA; national for Amazon work |
When My Amazon Guy is the better choice
- You have a suspension, listing block, or Seller Central account issue — a stated specialty of theirs, and not something we do
- You want Vendor Central or Walmart handled as well as Seller Central
- You like learning the platform yourself and want an agency whose free material you already trust
When a custom system wins
- You want your Amazon ads managed alongside your website, SEO, or Google Ads rather than in isolation
- You'd rather have a small team you can reach directly than a large organization
- You want a flat management fee and a clear read on whether your margin supports the spend
The bottom line
If you're dealing with a suspension or need Vendor Central, go to them — we don't do that work. If you're a smaller brand who mostly needs the ad account run against your real margin, and you'd like it connected to the rest of your marketing, that's where we fit. And if their free videos solve your problem this week, use them; that's a good outcome too.
