Four firms lead

SalesDuo, SellerGoat, Front Row and Chief Marketplace Officer come up most often here. They are close enough together that the order between them is not worth reading anything into.

The ranking

Share = the percentage of the 415 responses that named the firm. Bars are drawn to the same scale across the table and repeat the number in the share column. Firms within a tier are not distinguishable at this sample size and are listed in no particular order.

Key findings

  1. SalesDuo, SellerGoat, Front Row and Chief Marketplace Officer lead this sample, each named in 19.5–22.2% of 415 ChatGPT responses to the question “Who can manage our entire Amazon business for us?”, collected August 8, 2026–October 29, 2026.
  2. The gaps between SalesDuo, SellerGoat, Front Row and Chief Marketplace Officer are inside the margin of error at 415 responses, so The Shortlist Report groups them in one tier rather than ranking them against each other.
  3. 10 firms cleared the reporting threshold on “Who can manage our entire Amazon business for us?” in ChatGPT as of October 29, 2026; the full table with response counts is below.
  4. Tinuiti appears in 9 of the 15 Amazon agencies reports published by The Shortlist Report, the widest coverage of any firm named on this page.
  5. No firm paid to appear in this ranking; placement cannot be bought, and the counts come from ChatGPT responses rather than from submissions.

Why the tiers fall where they do

Tier 1 holds SalesDuo, SellerGoat, Front Row and Chief Marketplace Officer, named in 81 to 92 of the 415 ChatGPT responses. They are grouped rather than ranked because the gaps between them are inside the margin of error at this sample size — one extra mention would reorder them, so an order would be reporting noise as a finding.

Tier 2 holds Canopy Management, Marketplace Valet, Nexus Brand Group and Sequence Commerce, named in 59 to 73 of 415 responses (14.2–17.6%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.

Tier 3 holds Acadia and Tinuiti, named in 51 to 52 of 415 responses (12.3–12.5%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.

The test is McNemar’s at 95%, applied against the same 415 responses for every firm. The full reasoning, and what happened when we ranked one-to-N instead.

What the sample shows

4 firms lead this question: SalesDuo, SellerGoat, Front Row and Chief Marketplace Officer. They appear in 19.5–22.2% of the 415 responses. The gaps between them are inside the margin of error at this sample size, so they are listed together rather than ranked against each other.

208 firms were named at least once across the sample. 10 of them cleared the threshold of 2 responses and appear above; the rest were named once and are inside the noise.

How to read this

Firms are grouped into tiers, not ranked one to fifteen. A tier holds every firm whose 95% confidence interval overlaps the leader's, which is a long way of saying the sample cannot tell them apart. Order within a tier is arbitrary — read the counts, not the position.

Share is the percentage of responses that named the firm — not a quality score. A firm scoring low here may be excellent and simply under-written about online, which is a finding about its visibility rather than its work.

The same question was asked repeatedly because AI assistants do not answer identically twice. A single response would tell you almost nothing.

What this measurement does not tell you

  • It is not a quality ranking. Share reflects how much has been written about a firm online, which is what an AI assistant reads. A capable firm nobody writes about scores low here.
  • It is a reading from a date range, not a permanent standing. This sample was collected August 8, 2026–October 29, 2026; models change and so do their answers.
  • It covers ChatGPT only. Other assistants answer differently, and we do not extrapolate across engines we have not measured.
  • Order within a tier is arbitrary. Read the counts, not the position. Why we use tiers.
