Five AI workers that grow the store you run. The SEO agency's monthly cycle run on your own store, what to sell next validated before you commit inventory, and the Amazon services (PPC, listings, reimbursements) agencies bill monthly for. When buying beats building, the whole buy side lives in Acquire Playbook. They report. You make the call.
$4,900 a month is the published management fee of the retainer the SEO worker is modeled on: strategy, audits, and on-page, with content and link budgets billed on top. No worker here builds links. $1,500 is the bottom of the PPC agency range. The reimbursement service's 25% cut of your recovered money isn't even counted.
Store owners who want the growth worked without an agency. You want the SEO cycle run on your own store, an honest read on whether a niche or product line is worth entering, and the Amazon operating work (ad waste, listings, and the reimbursements you're owed) handled without a retainer.
You install this yourself in ten minutes with the guide included. You need the free Claude desktop app. All five run on public data and your own exported reports; Claude in Chrome is optional and unlocks your Search Console in your own session for the SEO worker's progress reads.
The one rule every worker follows: it reports, you act. These workers never edit or publish to your store, or start anything on your behalf. They hand you the analysis and the drafts. You decide.
real world: the $4,900-a-month retainer's cycle: strategy and on-page, not link building
What a managed ecommerce SEO agency does each month, as a worker you run. First run builds the strategy: the collection page opportunities your buyers search for (with evidence they're searched), every existing page scored against search intent, and a journey-mapped content plan with no trivia keywords. Every later run is the agency's monthly cycle: paste-ready on-page drafts, new opportunities, content briefs, and a progress read from your Search Console. Judged on sales, not traffic. Drafts only; it never touches your store.
real world: the verdict before you commit inventory money
Before you build a store, the better question is whether the table is worth sitting at. It reads the demand, the competition, and the margin reality of a product or niche, and gives you a straight verdict: enter with a wedge, find a different angle, or pass. Table selection for ecommerce.
real world: the $1,500 to $3,000 a month PPC service, from your own exports
What a PPC agency charges $1,500-$3,000 a month for: export your search-term and campaign reports and it finds the wasted spend, builds paste-ready negative keyword lists, flags the winners being starved and the bleeders to rein in, and reads your TACOS trend honestly. It never touches your ad console.
real world: the per-listing optimization agencies bill for, paste-ready
Reads your live listing and the competitors actually winning your terms, then drafts the complete listing paste-ready: title, bullets, backend keywords, and an A+ content brief, with the review-theme reasoning shown.
real world: recovery services keep 25% of what they find. This keeps you whole
What revenue-recovery agencies take 25-30% of your money for: cross-references your own FBA reports to find lost and damaged inventory never reimbursed, refunds never returned, and short-received shipments, then drafts every claim ready to file. Found money, kept whole.
The buy side (due diligence, deal flow, the paper) lives in Acquire Playbook.
