We publish our pricing. Most make you request a quote.
Data4Amazon prices through a quote-based virtual-assistant model. Shaazford publishes a flat $1,600/mo starting price, with senior operators running your account rather than hourly VAs.
You can see every tier on our pricing page before you ever talk to us. The biggest hidden risk in any agency is the gap between what is promised and who does the work. Data4Amazon runs accounts through offshore dedicated virtual assistants and an account manager. We built Shaazford to close that gap: the senior strategist you meet runs your account, backed by specialists in PPC, SEO, design, and catalog.
We lead with revenue, not dashboards.
Across our partners we have managed more than $50M in client revenue, with an average of 180% growth in the first six months after we rebuild listings, restructure ad strategy around profit instead of ACOS, and add the channels that fit each brand. One team, one bill, real results.
