You want to sell more to the clients you already have, but every new service looks like a hiring plan. SEO means a new specialist. PPC means another. Content means a writer, an editor, and a pile of briefs. The services that would grow your revenue are the ones you keep saying no to because the overhead scares you.
White-label is the way around that. You resell a service a specialist delivers under your brand, pay a wholesale rate, set your own price, and hire nobody. Below is a menu of the services worth adding in 2027, what each costs you wholesale, what you can charge, and the margin you should expect. The last one on the list is the one most agencies have not added yet.
White-label SEO is the dependable margin
SEO is the most established white-label service and still one of the most profitable. Entry-level packages from providers run $300 to $620 a month and cover on-page work, citation management, and basic reporting. Agencies wholesale broader programs at $500 to $1,500 and resell them at $2,000 to $4,000, which lands gross margins in the 40% to 70% range.
Price it as a monthly retainer, not a project, because SEO only works over months and a retainer matches the work to the billing. Sell it to clients who have a website worth ranking and the patience to wait two quarters for it to move.
White-label content fills the pipeline SEO needs
Content is the fuel every SEO and social program burns, and clients never have enough of it. White-label writers charge $100 to $300 per blog post, and a standard package of four optimized articles runs $600 to $1,500 a month wholesale.
The margin is thinner than SEO, so sell content as an attach to a larger retainer rather than a standalone line. A client paying for SEO needs the articles to rank, which makes the content an easy add that raises the whole account's value.
White-label PPC monetizes the clients already spending
If a client runs ads, paid search is the service they will pay the most to get right. Providers charge $400 to $800 a month to manage accounts spending $2,000 to $5,000, and published prices run from around $230 to $700 plus setup. Agencies mark that up 30% to 50%, or bill a percentage of spend and keep the gap between what the client pays and what the provider charges.
PPC shines in high-value verticals. Legal carries the highest average cost per click of any industry, so a law-firm client spending heavily on Google is a client who values, and pays well for, management that works. We cover that vertical in depth in our guide to PPC for lawyers.
White-label local SEO owns the map pack
Local SEO is its own service, aimed at the Google Business Profile and the map pack rather than the organic links. A basic local package runs around $800 a month wholesale, and it suits the brick-and-mortar and service-area clients who live or die by "near me" searches.
It resells cleanly alongside web and PPC, because the same local client who wants to rank on the map usually wants the ads and the site too. Bundle it and the account gets stickier.
White-label lead generation turns services into a system
The services above improve a client's marketing. Lead generation delivers the thing the client actually wants, which is booked business. White-label lead-gen platforms cost $200 to $500 per client seat wholesale, some as low as $50 to $200, and resell for $300 to $1,500 and up, with gross margins that can reach 85%.
Price it as a recurring platform fee plus a performance layer tied to qualified leads. Lead gen renews on its own as long as the leads keep arriving, which makes it the service clients fight hardest to keep.
One lead engine worth knowing is white-label AI intake, which captures the leads a client already pays for by answering and qualifying every inbound inquiry instantly. Burt runs a partner program for agencies to resell it under their own brand for recurring commission, which adds a lead service without the outreach staff an outbound program needs.
White-label AEO and GEO is the service to add in 2027
Here is the one most agencies have not sold yet. Answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization, used interchangeably by most agencies in 2026, are about getting a client cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews, rather than ranking a blue link.
The demand is real and climbing fast. AI search traffic grew roughly 16x from 2024 to 2026. ChatGPT drives the bulk of AI referral traffic, around three-quarters of it, with Gemini and Perplexity splitting most of the rest. Clients are starting to ask why they appear in Google but not in ChatGPT, and the agency with an answer wins the work.
Right now the service keyword competition is low while the head terms are still hardening, which is the window to plant your flag. Sell it as an audit plus an ongoing program: measure where the client surfaces in AI answers today, fix the structured data and content that feeds those answers, and report on visibility over time. White-label AEO providers exist already, so you can resell it the same way you resell SEO, and charge a premium because few competitors offer it yet.
How to price any white-label service
The pattern repeats across every service on this list. Pay the wholesale rate, mark it up enough to leave a real gross margin, and never bill so thin that a hard account wipes out the profit. SEO and lead gen reach 40% to 85% margins when priced right. Content runs thinner and belongs as an attach. PPC and AEO carry premiums in high-value and low-competition spaces.
The service matters less than the model. Sell retainers, not projects, so the revenue recurs. Keep the client relationship and the reporting with you, so you stay the strategist and not the invoice. Add the services your existing clients already want, one at a time, and let the margin fund the next one.

AI search traffic grew about 16x from 2024 to 2026, demand is climbing, and competition among agencies offering it is still low, which makes 2027 the window to add it.
