First, let us sayAmazon PPC agencies we appreciate you
A great Amazon PPC agency is genuinely valuable. Strategy, creative development, launch planning, relationship work — there are things a human operator does better than any software.
And we love that.
But you're here because you're evaluating Profasee against your agency bill.
So let us tell you what actually gets replaced — and what stays with your people.
Why sellers switch
Why brands swap agency execution for Profasee.
24/7 operation, not business-hours-only
Agencies work weekdays, 9 to 5, on multiple accounts. Marko monitors your account every minute — catches spend spikes at 3 a.m., reprices bids on a hot weekend, and pauses ads the moment inventory tips toward stockout.
Full transparency vs monthly report decks
Agency reports show what happened last month, filtered. Profasee shows every decision as it happens, the reasoning behind it, the signals that triggered it, and the confidence level. No cherry-picked wins.
Pricing + inventory coordination built in
Your PPC agency doesn't know what Oracle just repriced or what Bruno flagged as a stockout risk. Profasee employees share signals — every bid change reflects the actual state of the business, not last week's playbook.
No retainer, no onboarding tax, no turnover
Skip the $15K setup fee, the 6-week ramp, and the account manager swap six months in. Profasee connects in 8 minutes, starts in observe mode, and the same AI is there next year.
