We track a simple number. 75% of our clients see measurable results within their first 30 days of working with us. Alongside that 93% of clients stay with us over time.
As a top Amazon agency in UK ecommerce, we get asked how those numbers are possible. They are not lucky. They come from one repeated process we run the same way every time.
The Numbers Behind the Process
Two figures matter most when a new client joins us.
| Measure | What it means | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 30 day results | Share of clients who see a measurable change in their first month | 75% |
| Client retention | Share of clients who keep working with us over time | 93% |
Retention in agency terms means the share of clients who stay rather than leave. Early wins are a big part of why that number stays high.
Get Access Immediately
Nothing meaningful can happen without access. That means full access to Seller Central, the advertising account and reporting.
Seller Central is the account sellers use to manage their marketplace listings. A partial handover does not work here. Neither does a plan to sort access out in week two.
Why This Step Gets Delayed
This sounds obvious but it is the step most often delayed. Clients are sometimes hesitant to hand over full access straight away, especially to a new partner.
Every day access is delayed is a day where no audit, no fix and no strategy is possible. The clock on 30 day results does not really start until access is granted.
A Fast Audit
Once access is in place the next step is an audit. This is a structured review of the account to find what is working, what is not, and what is costing money.
The temptation here is to be exhaustive and check everything in detail before touching anything. We do not do that first.
What a Fast Audit Looks For
- The biggest and most obvious problems first
- Issues with the clearest and quickest upside
- Wasted ad spend that can be stopped right away
- Broken listing details that hurt conversion
Thoroughness still matters. It comes after the first wins and not before them.
A fast audit still checks the account in full. It just tackles the biggest costs first instead of working through every campaign in the order they appear.
A Fast First Fix
The final piece is speed of action. As soon as the audit turns up something clearly wrong it gets fixed straight away.
This includes wasted ad spend, a broken listing detail or a pricing mistake. None of it gets added to a longer term plan for phase two.
Why Speed Matters More Than a Perfect Plan
A perfect long term strategy delivered slowly helps nobody in the first month. A fast, imperfect fix to the biggest problem delivered this week does.
Wasted ad spend is one of the most common issues we find at this stage. Our post on why Amazon PPC marketing loses money explains the most common causes.
Why the Order of Steps Matters
Access, then audit, then fix, in that order, done quickly. Reverse the order or slow any one step down and 30 day results become 60 or 90 day results, if they happen at all.
The discipline is not in any single step being clever. It is in doing all three fast, every time, without skipping ahead or lingering too long anywhere.
How This Compares to a Typical Onboarding
Many agencies treat the first 30 days as a quiet research phase before any real work begins. Clients are told results will show up around month two or three.
| Stage | Typical agency approach | Our approach |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1 to 7 | Chasing access and paperwork | Full access secured on day one |
| Days 7 to 20 | Slow, exhaustive audit | Fast audit that flags the biggest wins first |
| Days 20 to 30 | Fixes planned for phase two | Fixes made the same week they are found |
The gap is not in skill. It is in sequencing and speed.
What Slows Most Agencies Down
Three habits usually explain why other agencies miss the 30 day mark, even with skilled teams.
- Access requests get spread across several emails. A client has to find five logins instead of one clear checklist.
- The audit tries to cover every metric before anything is fixed. Weeks pass while a report gets polished.
- Fixes wait for a strategy document to be approved. A known problem sits untouched while a plan gets written around it.
Each habit adds days. Together they can easily push results past the 30 day mark and into month two or three.
What This Means for Your First Month
If you are choosing between agencies, ask what happens in week one, not just what the strategy looks like in month three.
- Ask how quickly they need full account access
- Ask whether the first audit targets quick wins or tries to cover everything at once
- Ask if fixes happen the same week they are found or get queued for later

What Clients Notice Most
Clients rarely mention the final strategy document when asked what stood out in month one. They mention the speed of the first fix and how little chasing they had to do for access.
That early experience shapes trust for the rest of the relationship. It is a large part of why 93% of clients stay with us well beyond the first quarter.
Key Takeaway
Getting most clients results within 30 days is not a lucky streak. It is a repeatable process built on full access immediately, a fast audit that finds the biggest problems first, and fast fixes instead of a slow rolled plan. Early wins like that are also what keeps clients around long after the first month.
