Off-page SEO for agencies - editorial placements, niche edits and digital-PR links on real, traffic-bearing sites. Live samples before you commit, full transparency on every URL, delivered under your brand.
As featured in






White-label link building is off-page SEO - editorial backlink acquisition - delivered by a fulfillment partner under your agency's brand. Wholesale runs roughly $150-$600 per editorial placement and $1,000-$4,000 per month for managed retainers, billed to clients at two to three times that.
The partner does outreach, placement and reporting; you own the relationship and the margin. The model is only safe with an editorial, no-PBN provider that reports a live URL on every link - which is exactly how we work, with live samples before you commit.
Market ranges, not our price sheet. Wholesale is what agencies pay credible providers; retail is what those agencies typically bill clients. The spread is your gross margin.
| Scope | Wholesale (what agencies pay) | Typical retail (what clients pay) |
|---|---|---|
| Editorial guest placement (per link) | $150 - $450 | $400 - $1,200 |
| Niche edit / contextual link (per link) | $200 - $600 | $500 - $1,500 |
| Digital-PR-earned link (high authority) | $400 - $1,500+ | $1,200 - $4,000+ |
| Managed link retainer (per month) | $1,000 - $4,000 | $2,500 - $10,000 |
| Link audit & disavow (one-time) | $300 - $1,200 | $900 - $3,500 |
| Digital-PR campaign (per project) | $2,000 - $8,000 | $6,000 - $20,000 |

The honest comparison every agency owner runs before picking a link delivery model.
| Dimension | White-label partner | In-house hire | Freelancer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Link safety | Editorial only - no PBN risk | Depends on the hire's ethics | Often PBN/network - high risk |
| Transparency | Live URL + metrics on every link | Variable | Frequently hidden sources |
| Capacity | Scale volume without hiring outreach staff | Hard ceiling per outreach hire | Inconsistent |
| Quality control | Samples before you commit | In-house judgement | Buy-and-hope |
| Margin profile | Clean spread × volume | Margin only above full salary load | Cheap but reputation-risky |
Anonymised partner shapes - region and structure only, no fabricated specifics.
A US agency moved link acquisition to white-label fulfillment to deliver consistent monthly placements across its retainer book without staffing an outreach function. Region and shape shared with permission.
A UK consultant replaced a cheap link vendor with white-label editorial fulfillment after a client scare, trading lower volume for links that survive manual review. Internal example, Nico Digital partner portfolio.
An Australian agency used white-label digital PR to deliver data-led link campaigns it could not staff in-house, winning high-authority placements for clients. Shape only; numbers withheld.
We do not publish a wholesale link grid - placement type, niche difficulty and authority targets vary too much for honest fixed tiers, and a public price sheet lets your clients reverse-engineer your margin. Apply with your link mix and monthly volumes; we reply with wholesale rates and live samples inside one business day.
Get Wholesale PricingNine questions agencies ask before routing link acquisition through a fulfillment partner.
White-label link building is off-page SEO - earning backlinks to your clients' sites - executed by a fulfillment partner and delivered under your agency's brand. The partner does the outreach, placement and reporting; you hold the client relationship and bill your retail rate against a wholesale per-link or retainer cost. The client sees your agency's link-building results, not ours.
Wholesale per-placement rates from credible providers typically run 150 to 450 US dollars for an editorial guest placement, 200 to 600 dollars for a niche edit on an existing relevant page, and 400 to 1,500 dollars and up for digital-PR-earned links on high-authority publications. Managed link retainers run 1,000 to 4,000 dollars per month. Agencies bill clients roughly two to three times those rates. Market ranges from provider rate cards and our benchmarks, June 2026 - not a price sheet.
No - and this is the single most important question to ask any link provider. We do not use private blog networks, link farms, link exchanges at scale, or any scheme that puts a client's domain at risk of a manual action or algorithmic penalty. Every link is an editorial placement on a real, traffic-bearing site with genuine editorial standards. We publish this position openly because so much of the white-label link market quietly does the opposite.
The spread between your retail link price and the wholesale placement cost, multiplied by volume. Example: you sell a client eight editorial links per month at 500 dollars each (4,000 dollars); your wholesale cost is 280 dollars each (2,240 dollars); your gross margin is 1,760 dollars per client per month. Link building is also one of the cleanest scopes to resell because the deliverable - a live, indexed placement - is unambiguous.
Every placement is reported with a live URL, the anchor used, the target page, and the publishing site's relevant metrics. We share recent live samples before you commit, so you can judge quality on actual placements rather than promises. You can vet domain relevance and quality on every link before it counts toward the engagement. Transparency is the whole point - hidden link sources are how agencies get burned.
Editorial guest placements on relevant publications, niche edits (contextual links added to existing relevant pages), digital-PR-earned links from data stories and outreach, and resource and citation links where appropriate. We avoid low-quality directory spam, comment links and any tactic that does not survive an honest manual review. The mix is scoped to the client's niche and risk tolerance.
Yes. We build a natural anchor profile - branded, partial-match and naked URLs in healthy proportion - rather than over-optimised exact-match anchors that trigger penalties. Target-page and anchor strategy is planned against the client's existing link profile and ranking goals, so links push the pages that actually move the needle. You approve the plan before outreach begins.
Link reports carry your logo and template, listing live placements, anchors, targets and site metrics in a format you can forward verbatim or present as your own. We never contact your client or reveal the fulfillment relationship. Outreach is done from neutral or your-branded identities as agreed at onboarding.
Scoped per engagement at onboarding and backed in the partner agreement. Link building is earned, not instant, so we commit to realistic monthly placement volumes rather than impossible overnight promises. Typical cadence: an approved plan within the first week, then a steady monthly placement flow with live URLs reported as they go live. Quality and safety are never traded for speed.
Apply through the partner application - four steps, two minutes. We reply within one business day with wholesale per-link and retainer rates plus recent live placement samples so you can judge quality first. Most partners pilot a small link batch before scaling volume. No minimum commitments, no lock-in on the pilot.
Apply in four steps. Within one business day you get wholesale rates and recent live placement samples so you can judge quality before you commit. NDA before anything else moves.
