White-label SEO your clients will thank you for
You sell it, we deliver it, your client never sees our name. Fixed scopes, fixed turnaround, reports in your template.
What is white-label SEO for agencies?
White-label SEO is search work delivered by a partner and sold under your own brand. You keep the client relationship, the pricing and the reporting template. We run the audits, technical fixes, content and link building to an agreed scope and turnaround, and we never contact your client.
Sound familiar?
You are probably dealing with this
You sold SEO before you had anyone to deliver it
It happens to most agencies. The fix is a partner with a fixed scope and a fixed turnaround, not a freelancer who disappears in month two.
Your last white-label supplier sent reports you had to rewrite
A report with their logo on it, full of metrics your client does not care about, costs you an hour per account per month.
You cannot quote SEO confidently because you do not know the cost
Without a fixed price list you either guess and lose margin, or pad the quote and lose the deal.
What we do for you
The work that moves the needle for agencies
In the order the audit usually puts them. You do not have to buy all four.
AI search optimization
We make your pages the ones AI tools quote when someone asks about your category.

Proof
A agency we did this for
Needs real data before launch
Three case studies, one per ICP, with before and after numbers you can prove and screenshots you have permission to publish.
The build throws if a published case study has an empty results array. See lib/content.ts. (PRD 16.1, PRD 9)

The same four steps on every engagement, so you always know which one we are in.

2. Plan
Decide what gets fixed and in what order.
3. Build
Fix the technical base, publish the content, earn the links.
4. Report
Monthly numbers in plain English.
Pricing
What it costs
Partner pricing is a fixed rate card you can mark up. Per audit, per page and per link.
Needs real data before launch
Real partner rate card for agencies: per audit, per page, per link.
Agencies cannot quote without your cost. This is the page that closes them. (PRD 16.2)

Agencies: questions we get asked
Will my client ever see your name?
No. Reports come unbranded or in your template, we work from an email address on your domain if you set one up, and we never contact your client directly.
What are your turnaround times?
Technical audit in ten working days. Content within five working days of an approved brief. Link placements report monthly. Anything we cannot hit, we tell you before you quote.
Can we join client calls?
We can join as a member of your team if you want the technical depth in the room. Many partners prefer we stay behind the scenes, and that is fine too.
How do you price for agencies?
A fixed rate card per audit, per page and per link, so you know your cost before you quote. No per-client negotiation.
What is the minimum commitment?
One project. Most partners start with a single audit to see how we work before they move a retainer across.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes, and we will sign yours rather than asking you to use ours.
What happens if a client leaves?
You stop the work for that account with 30 days notice. There is no minimum number of accounts to keep the partner rate.
