What does an Amazon agency do?

An Amazon agency manages and grows brands on the Amazon marketplace. Services typically include listing optimization, PPC advertising, A+ Content creation, brand protection, inventory strategy, catalog management, and ongoing performance optimization. A full-service agency like 595 Agency operates as an extension of your internal team, handling day-to-day Amazon operations so the brand can focus on product development and supply chain.

Should I hire an Amazon agency?

Consider hiring an Amazon agency if your ad spend exceeds $5,000/month without clear ROAS visibility, your internal team lacks Amazon-specific expertise, catalog complexity has outgrown internal bandwidth, or you are launching on Amazon for the first time. The core question is whether the agency cost is less than the value it creates through improved advertising efficiency, better listing performance, and operational expertise.

What is the difference between Seller Central and Vendor Central management?

Seller Central (3P) means the brand sells directly to consumers through Amazon and controls pricing, inventory, and the customer relationship. Vendor Central (1P) means Amazon buys your products at wholesale and resells them, controlling the retail price. Seller Central offers more control and higher margins; Vendor Central offers Amazon's distribution scale and the "Sold by Amazon" badge. Many brands operate on both simultaneously.

How do Amazon agencies charge?

Amazon agencies typically charge through one of four models: flat monthly fee ($2,000-$10,000+), percentage of revenue (3-15%), hybrid (base fee plus lower percentage), or percentage of ad spend (10-20%). 595 Agency uses a hybrid model with a flat fee of $2,000-$6,000/month plus 1-2% revenue share, the lowest percentage in the industry.

Amazon DSP (Demand-Side Platform) is Amazon's programmatic advertising system for display, video, and audio ads both on Amazon properties and across the web. Unlike Sponsored Products or Sponsored Brands which target active shoppers, DSP reaches audiences based on their Amazon shopping behavior wherever they browse online. It is best used for retargeting, brand building, and new product launches alongside an existing Sponsored Ads foundation.

How does Amazon SEO work?

Amazon SEO is the process of optimizing product listings to rank higher in Amazon search results. This involves keyword research using Amazon search data, strategic placement of keywords in titles, bullet points, descriptions, and backend search terms, plus optimizing images, A+ Content, and pricing. Amazon's algorithm weighs relevance, conversion rate, and sales velocity when determining organic rankings.

Amazon Review Requests Ads: Rules, Costs, Who Should Test

November 9, 2026595 AgencyAmazon Advertising, Listing Optimization

Amazon Review Requests ads are a new paid campaign type that shows a rating invitation to shoppers who recently bought your product. They are in US open beta, only products with fewer than 1,000 ratings and reviews qualify, and Amazon has not published pricing. Test them on healthy new listings, not on products with quality problems.

Key takeaways

Amazon Ads announced Review Requests on September 29, 2026, with a US open beta in late October.
Eligible products have fewer than 1,000 total ratings and reviews, and campaigns pause automatically at 1,000.
Amazon's only performance claim is 3x the weekly ratings and reviews, from internal data on a closed beta that ran June 3 to 21, 2026.
One outlet reports billing per click, with a demo default bid of $0.75 and a $100 daily budget. Amazon has not confirmed these figures.
You pay for the invitation, not the review. The buyer decides whether to rate and what to say.

What are Amazon Review Requests ads?

Review Requests is an Amazon Advertising campaign type that reaches customers who recently purchased your product and invites them to leave a star rating or written review while they shop on Amazon. According to Amazon Ads' launch announcement, a buyer can submit a rating in one click and then add a written review with photos or video if they choose.

You build and manage campaigns in Amazon Ads Agent or through the Amazon Ads Unified API, using the same bid and budget controls as your other campaigns. The US is the only marketplace at launch. Amazon says more marketplaces are planned, without dates.

Who qualifies for Review Requests?

Eligibility has two layers. The account must belong to a registered seller or vendor with an advertising console account in good standing and no active policy violations. The product must have fewer than 1,000 total ratings and reviews. Amazon checks both when you create the campaign and while it runs.

The account rule matters if you have open issues. A seller with unresolved violations is out until the account is clean, so a suspension and reinstatement plan comes before any review campaign.

There is also a small wording gap in Amazon's page. It counts "total ratings and reviews" for eligibility but refers to "1,000 reviews" in the pause rule. PPC Land flagged the same inconsistency and reads it as one combined count. Treat it that way, and confirm in the console before you plan around the exact cutoff.

What does Amazon say about results?

Amazon reports that products in an early test received three times as many ratings and reviews per week as before the test. The footnote cites internal Amazon data from a US closed beta, June 3 to 21, 2026.

That is a 19-day before-and-after comparison against each product's own earlier pace. As PPC Land's analysis of the announcement points out, Amazon does not disclose how many products took part, which categories, how much was spent, or the baseline review counts. Tripling two reviews a week and tripling fifty are very different results, and the page does not say which one happened.

How much do Review Requests ads cost?

Amazon has not published pricing and points advertisers to their Amazon Ads account team. Secondary reports fill part of the gap. My Amazon Guy's summary of the beta cites UNITIX as reporting these details, none confirmed by Amazon:

Billing is per click, when a buyer clicks into the review flow, not when the prompt is shown.
A demo campaign showed a default bid of $0.75 and a default daily budget of $100.
The prompt goes to verified buyers at least 7 days after delivery, using the catalog image rather than custom creative.
Reporting separates rating-only counts from written reviews and shows impressions, clicks, and total cost. Reviews collected this way carry no ad label.

Because the result is a review that stays on the listing, the number to track is cost per incremental review: total campaign spend divided by the reviews you gained above what you would have received anyway. The table below uses made-up numbers to show the arithmetic. It is an illustration, not market data.

The table shows how the same spend changes when you count only reviews above your free baseline.

Illustrative month	Counting all reviews	Counting only incremental reviews
Campaign spend	$150.00	$150.00
Reviews and ratings collected	30	30
Reviews you would have received anyway	0 (ignored)	12
Reviews credited to the campaign	30	18
Cost per review	$5.00	$8.33

Ignoring your baseline makes the ad look 40% cheaper than it is in this example. Pull your normal weekly review rate before launch so you have the baseline.

Review Requests vs Request a Review vs Vine

Review Requests joins two tools sellers already have. This comparison draws on Amazon's announcement and the My Amazon Guy summary, which attributes the Vine figures to CruxFinder.

Tool	Who starts it	Eligibility	Seller cost
Request a Review button	Seller, one order at a time	Individual orders	Free
Amazon Vine	Amazon invites reviewers	Fewer than 30 reviews, up to 30 units	Enrollment fee plus units provided
Review Requests ads	Seller, through an ad campaign	Fewer than 1,000 ratings and reviews	Ad spend, pricing not published

Vine covers the first 30 reviews, the free button works at any stage, and the paid ad fills the range between a handful of reviews and 1,000. Use the free options first and treat the ad as speed on top.

Why this matters after the variation review change

Amazon announced on January 7, 2026 that review sharing between product variations would be restricted, with the rollout running by category from February 12 to May 31, 2026. Only variations with minor differences such as color, pattern, or pack quantity keep sharing reviews, according to PPC Land's reporting. A child listing that once borrowed a large review count may now stand alone and sit under the 1,000 line, which is the audience this ad format fits.

If you also have FBA multipack listings in play, check how they interact with your review counts in our Amazon virtual multipacks review.

What should sellers do before turning it on?

Check the account. Confirm your advertising account is in good standing with no active policy violations, and clear any open issues first.
Audit the product. Look at your current star rating, return rate, and the themes in recent negative reviews. The ad speeds up whatever buyers already think, so fix product or listing problems first.
Record your baseline. Write down reviews and ratings per week over the last four to eight weeks, and how many came from the free Request a Review button.
Set a small test budget. Run one product at a low bid and a daily budget well under the reported $100 demo default, and cap total spend for the test before you start.
Check your margin. Compare cost per incremental review with what a stronger review count is worth to that product's conversion rate and unit profit.
Stay inside the review rules. Amazon's policies still prohibit review gating and compensation for reviews, and the FTC finalized a rule on August 14, 2024 barring the purchase of positive or negative reviews. Never steer happy buyers to the ad and unhappy ones to support.

Timing matters too. Ad costs and fulfillment costs both move in Q4, so read the 2027 FBA fee changes and the FBA peak fulfillment fees before you add a new line to your holiday budget.

Who should test it, and who should wait?

Good first candidates are new launches with steady sales but few reviews, and listings that lost shared reviews in the variation change, as long as the product itself is sound. Wait if your rating is trending down, if returns are high, if the account has open violations, or if the product is close to 1,000 reviews, since the campaign will pause there anyway.

FAQ

Does a Review Requests ad guarantee a review?

No. The ad invites a verified buyer to rate or review, and the buyer decides whether to respond and what to write. Amazon has not said any volume is guaranteed.

Is the free Request a Review button going away?

Amazon has not said so. The button in Seller Central still sends a free email for a single order, and the announcement does not mention it.

Can Review Requests produce negative reviews?

Yes. Buyers can leave any star rating or skip the prompt. A product with open quality problems can collect low ratings faster.

Is paying for review invitations against Amazon policy?

The ad pays for an invitation shown to a verified buyer, not for a review, and the buyer decides what to write. Amazon's rules against paid or incentivized reviews and review gating still apply. This is information, not legal advice, so check the current policy before you run it.

When can I use Review Requests outside the US?

Amazon lists the US only for now and says additional marketplaces and properties are planned for future releases, with no dates.

Bottom line

Review Requests turns review collection into a bid-and-budget decision. The 3x claim comes from Amazon's own 19-day test with no published baseline, so run your own small test, measure cost per incremental review, and keep it to products you would be happy to have more reviews on.
