White Label SEO
White Label SEO Services for Agencies
Agencies come to white label for one of two reasons. Either a client asked for something outside the team's skills and the choice is to subcontract or decline, or organic has become a line item nobody wants to staff for. The first is a good reason and the second usually ends badly.
We deliver SEO and generative engine optimization under partner brands, and this page is deliberately specific about which of those situations we work well in — because the failure mode of white label is not delivery quality, it is a partner who cannot answer their own client's questions.

What is white label SEO?
White label SEO is delivery performed by one firm and presented to the end client under another's brand. In practice it covers a spectrum: at one end, an unbranded audit a partner presents themselves; at the other, a full programme where the delivering firm never speaks to the client. The further along that spectrum an arrangement sits, the more the partner needs genuine understanding of the work rather than just a reporting template.
- Unbranded deliverables — audits, plans, content and reporting under your brand
- You own the relationship, the billing and the commercial terms
- Escalation matters more than deliverables — plan for the hard questions
- Scope must be legible to your client, not just to you
- It does not work as a way to avoid learning the discipline
- We will not misrepresent who did the work if asked directly
Also called SEO reselling, agency SEO outsourcing or partner-delivered SEO. See our partner programme for the ongoing arrangement.
Fit
Where This Works, and Where It Does Not
We would rather decline an arrangement than watch it fail six months in with a client caught in the middle. This is the honest split.
| Situation | Our view | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You are a design or web agency whose clients keep asking for SEO | Good fit | You own the site and the relationship. We supply the discipline you do not staff for, and your client gets one point of contact. |
| You run paid media and want organic as a complementary line | Good fit | The audiences overlap, you already report on performance, and the two disciplines genuinely inform each other. |
| You have an SEO team but need capacity for a spike | Workable | Straightforward, provided ownership of decisions is documented. Two parties quietly making structural calls is how sites break. |
| You want to sell SEO without anyone at your firm understanding it | Poor fit | Your client will eventually ask a question in a meeting you are in and we are not. That moment decides the relationship, not the deliverable. |
| You need us to represent ourselves as your employees | Not available | We will work unbranded and stay in the background, but we will not deny being a separate firm if a client asks directly. |
What Delivery Looks Like
Audits, keyword-to-page maps, technical specifications, content briefs and drafts, entity and profile work, and reporting — produced unbranded, in formats you can put your logo on or paste into your own template. Where you want us in a client call, we join as part of your team and take direction from you on how we are described, within the limit above.
What we ask in return is a single named owner on your side who understands what was recommended and why. Not an SEO specialist — the person who will be in the room when the client asks why traffic dipped in July. Arrangements with that person defined survive. Arrangements without it consume both firms in relay-race email.
What We Will Not Do Under Your Brand
We will not produce work we would refuse to produce under our own name. That means no manufactured links, no generated clinical or legal content passed off as expert-reviewed, no reporting built around metrics chosen because they look good, and no claims about guaranteed rankings or AI inclusion — in your deck any more than in ours.
We will also tell you when we think a client should not be sold an ongoing programme, which occasionally means telling you that a renewal you were counting on is not justified. That is an uncomfortable property in a supplier and it is the one worth having.
