What is a white label SEO agency?

Quick answer

A white label SEO agency provides SEO services that another agency resells to its clients under its own brand. The end client doesn't know the work is fulfilled by a third party. Reputable white label SEO programs deliver technical SEO, on-page optimization, content, link building, local SEO, and reporting — all branded as the reselling agency's work, typically priced at $750-$3,500 per client per month with a 1.5-2.5x markup to the end client.

How white label SEO works in practice

The reseller agency owns the client relationship — strategy calls, billing, reporting cadence. The white label fulfillment partner does the SEO work in the background, delivers in branded reports (with the reseller's logo), and stays off client calls unless invited.

The reseller marks up the wholesale price 1.5-2.5x. A $1,500/mo wholesale engagement becomes $2,500-$3,750 to the end client, with the spread covering the reseller's account management, sales, and margin.

What's included in white label SEO

Standard scope:

  • Technical SEO audit and fixes (crawlability, Core Web Vitals, schema)
  • Keyword research and content briefs
  • On-page optimization (title tags, meta, headers, internal links)
  • Monthly content production (3-8 articles depending on tier)
  • Local SEO (Google Business Profile, citations, local landing pages)
  • Link earning (digital PR, HARO, guest contributions — not PBN/spam)
  • AI search optimization (FAQ schema, llms.txt, entity content) on modern programs
  • Monthly reporting in branded template

Pricing benchmarks

US-based white label SEO in 2026: $750-$3,500 per client per month wholesale. Offshore content-mill providers run $200-$800/mo but rarely deliver senior-level strategy or AEO infrastructure. Add-ons: technical audits $1,500-$5,000 one-time, link earning campaigns $2,000-$10,000 per campaign.

Related questions

Is white label SEO ethical?

Yes, when disclosed in the reseller's MSA and when the work itself is white-hat. The reseller takes responsibility for outcomes; the fulfillment partner is a vendor relationship like any other.

How do I find a good white label SEO partner?

Ask: are they US-based, do they include AI search optimization (AEO/GEO), do they ship reports under your brand, will they sign an NDA + reseller agreement, can they reference 3+ current reseller partners, and what's their senior-strategist-to-account ratio?

Can I white label local SEO?

Yes — including GBP optimization, citations, reviews, and local landing pages. Multi-location rollouts are a particularly good fit for white label.
