The Business

SEO reporting services create automated monthly reports for clients who need to show value (agencies reporting to their clients, businesses showing results to stakeholders). Productized reporting at $200-400/month per client with mostly automated tools creates scalable income. White-label for agencies is particularly valuable.

How to Start

Subscribe to AgencyAnalytics ($49/month for unlimited reports) or SE Ranking. Create a report template covering rankings, traffic, conversions, and technical health. Offer white-label services to marketing agencies who need reports for their own clients. 20 agency accounts at $300/month = $6,000 in largely passive MRR.

REAL EXAMPLE

Tom white-labels SEO reports for 28 marketing agencies, each paying $250/month, earning $7,000/month spending about 15 hours/week.

CHRIS'S TAKE

“SEO reporting is one of the most scalable digital services because 90% of the work is automated. Set up report templates once, connect client data, and the reports generate themselves monthly. White-labeling for agencies is the smart play — they need it but don't want to build it.”

PRO TIP

White-label your reports for marketing agencies. They add their logo, charge their clients $300-500/month, and pay you $150-200. Both sides win and the agency becomes your sales force.
