White-label program
The white-label SEO platform for agencies that sell content
Rankbox researches, writes and delivers the articles for every client from one account. They go out on the client's own site under the client's name, you send the invoice, and Rankbox never deals with your clients.
7-day free trial, card required. It covers your own site; client sites open in Studio once the plan is paid.

In short
Rankbox is a white-label SEO platform for the content side of client work. An agency runs one account with a separate site for each client, and each site gets its own research, brand voice, content plan and 30 articles a month. Articles publish to the client's own site under the client's name, with no Rankbox badge, link or credit, and Rankbox never contacts your clients. Your plan, $49.50 a month, covers your first site; every client site after it is $49.50 a month on the same invoice.
It doesn't do technical audits, local listings, outreach link building, client logins or branded reports.
01Who it's for
Who this white-label setup is built for
Anyone who delivers content to more than one site and wants each one to read as its owner's own. The setup is the same in every case: one Rankbox account, one site per client, one invoice.
SEO agencies
What you sellContent as a line in each SEO retainer.
Where Rankbox sitsThe research and articles for every client, so the content line no longer depends on a writer pool.
Web design studios
What you sellMonthly care plans for the sites you built.
Where Rankbox sitsA steady stream of articles on those sites. You usually hold the CMS access already, so connecting publishing is in your hands.
Freelance marketers
What you sellYour time, across a handful of clients.
Where Rankbox sitsThe same setup for each client, one login and one bill, so adding a client doesn't add a new tool.
In-house teams with several brands
What you sellContent for each brand or regional site you run.
Where Rankbox sitsA separate voice, plan and publishing key per brand, paid for together.
Not the right tool if you need
- Technical audits or site fixes
- Local listings and Google Business Profile work
- Outreach link building
- A client login or a dashboard with your logo
- Reports on AI citations or rankings
Keep the tools or partners you already use for these. Rankbox covers research, articles and delivery.
02The split
What you sell, and what Rankbox does behind it
Your client buys a service from your agency. Rankbox is how part of that service gets made. Here is who does what at each stage.
Your agency, in front of the client
Rankbox, out of sight
- Relationship
- The pitch, the scope, the contract and every call.
- Rankbox, out of sightNever emails, calls or bills your clients.
- Strategy
- What each client is trying to win, and which searches to go after.
- Rankbox, out of sightReads the client's site, finds the searches worth winning and plans the first month.
- Writing
- The voice and house rules for each client.
- Rankbox, out of sightResearches each topic and drafts a long, cited article in that client's voice.
- Quality
- Reads, edits and decides what goes out.
- Rankbox, out of sightScores every draft on 11 checks and revises it before it's finished.
- Delivery
- Connects the client's site once, or has their developer do it.
- Rankbox, out of sightHands each finished article to that site through the publishing API.
- Reporting
- The report, in your format, with the live links.
- Rankbox, out of sightLists every article for each site, with its live address once the site reports it. No client report.
- Billing
- Invoices the client at a price you set.
- Rankbox, out of sightBills you alone: one subscription, one invoice and one card for every site.
Your client deals only with the left column.
03Their side
Your client's side of the work, start to finish
Six moments where your client, their developer or their readers touch the work. At each one, here is what they see and whether the Rankbox name is anywhere in view.
Where the Rankbox name can show up:

If they leave

04The operating model
One account, one site per client
Studio is the same Rankbox account with more sites in it. The site switcher at the foot of the sidebar moves you between clients, and the rest of the dashboard shows one site at a time.

The site you're on is carried in the address bar, so two browser tabs can hold two clients and a bookmark always opens the right one.
Each site has its own
- Brand, writing settings and content plan
- Autopilot pace, on or paused
- Credits: 30 articles, 30 backlink credits and 30 Reddit reply credits a month
- Publishing connections and REST API keys

- One login and one subscription
- Studio, Plan & Billing and the Account settings
Rules that follow you, not the site
- Credits never move between sites, so a quiet client's unused articles can't be spent on a busy one.
- Your sites never trade backlinks with each other in the exchange, so your book of clients can't turn into a private link network.
- One standing Reddit reply per thread across all your sites, so one account never answers the same thread for two brands.

06Control
The controls you keep on every client site
Rankbox does the production. These are the levers that stay in your hands for every client, set one site at a time.
Voice, per client
Audience, tone, writing style and house rules live on each site. The writer reads them before every article.
What gets written
You choose the searches to target and can change the content plan whenever the client's priorities move.
The editor
Open any article to edit the text, rewrite a passage, or change the title and meta description, before or after it's finished.
A score on every article
Eleven checks on keyword use, length, structure, FAQ, meta description, links and readability. New drafts are revised against them.
Sign-off at the client's end
There's no approve step inside Rankbox: finished means ready to publish. To hold articles for a client's sign-off, keep them as drafts at the destination.
Pace and pause
Each site runs on its own schedule, up to 30 articles a month, and autopilot can be paused whenever a client needs a break.
Review stays with you
Rankbox's Terms make the account holder responsible for reviewing and fact-checking content before it's published, and say plainly that no ranking, traffic or citation result is guaranteed. Google's guidance on generative AI content asks the same of every publisher:
Read the Terms“manually factcheck and review all AI-generated content”
07Said plainly
What isn't white-label yet
White-label here means the work carries your client's brand and Rankbox stays out of the relationship. It doesn't yet cover the pieces below, so here is what agencies do instead.
- Client logins and teammate seats
- An account has one login. Send clients the live links instead: each site's Articles page lists every published article.
- Branded reports or a dashboard on your domain
- Report in the tool you already use. The publishing API returns each article's score and, once the site reports it, its live address, ready for your own report.
- AI citation, ranking or mention tracking
- Rankbox doesn't track these yet. Run manual prompt checks and report what you find; the AI SEO deep dive covers how to report it honestly.White-label AI SEO
- A publishing connection without our name
- The API key, the rankbox.xyz address and the CMS apps carry the Rankbox name. Readers never see them; whoever manages the site's integrations will.
- Installable CMS apps
- Today, articles reach each site through the REST API, which a developer wires once per site. The Shopify and Webflow apps are built and waiting on store approval.The publishing API
- Full-service SEO
- Technical audits, local listings and outreach link building aren't part of Rankbox. Keep the partners or tools you use for them.
08Billing
Billing for client sites, in brief
$49.50
per client site, per month, on your one invoice
- Your plan, $49.50 a month, covers your first site. Each client site after it is $49.50 a month, with the full plan of its own.
- Adding a site charges its share of the current billing period, shown before you confirm.
- Removing a site keeps it running to the end of the period you've paid for, with no refund. It's then archived with every article and setting kept.
- No minimum, no cap on sites, no contract, and the same price for the second site as the fortieth.
- Studio adds sites to a paid, current plan. The free trial covers one site.

10Questions
Questions agencies ask before the first client
What agencies ask about clients, branding, billing and the rules.
Is Rankbox software I run, or a team that does the work?
Software you run. Nobody at Rankbox works on your clients' accounts or talks to them. Rankbox researches, writes and delivers the articles; you run the account, review the work and own the client relationship.
Could a client ever find out the articles come from Rankbox?
Not from anything their readers see: there's no badge, link or credit in the articles or their structured data. The one place the name appears is the publishing connection. The site connects with a Rankbox API key to a rankbox.xyz address, and Rankbox's CMS apps and plugins carry the Rankbox name in the site's admin, so someone who opens the site's integrations would see it.
Can I give a client a login to watch their articles?
Not yet. An account has one login, and inviting teammates or clients isn't available. Send clients the live links instead: each site's Articles page lists its published articles, and the publishing API returns each one's live address once the site has reported it.
How much is each extra client site?
$49.50 a month, on the same invoice as your plan. The plan, $49.50 a month, covers your first site. There's no setup fee, no minimum and no volume discount: every site costs the same.
Can I start adding clients during the free trial?
The 7-day free trial covers one site. To add clients before it ends, start the paid plan from Studio: the trial ends, $49.50 is charged for your first month, and you can add sites straight away. If the charge fails, nothing changes and you stay on the trial.
What happens to a client's articles when they stop working with me?
Everything already published stays on their site. Remove the site from Studio and it keeps running until the end of the period you've paid for, then it's archived with its articles and settings kept. Nothing is refunded, and restoring it later is charged like adding a new site.
Who owns the articles written for a client?
Under Rankbox's Terms, you own the content you create and publish through the service. What passes from you to your client is set by your own contract with them.
Should my client tell readers the articles were made with AI?
That's the client's decision, and Rankbox adds no credit either way. Google's guidance on generative AI content says that sharing how a piece was made can give readers useful context, and it asks publishers to review AI content for accuracy before it goes live.
Do client sites share credits or settings?
No. Each site has its own 30 articles, 30 backlink credits and 30 Reddit reply credits a month, its own voice, content plan, autopilot pace and API keys, and credits never move between sites. Only Studio, Plan & Billing and the Account settings are shared.
Do I need a developer for every client?
For now, yes, once per site. Articles reach sites through the REST API, which someone wires into the site one time. If you built the client's site, that someone is you. The Shopify and Webflow apps are built and waiting on store approval.
11Get started
Start with your own site, then add a client
Set up your agency's own site, start the plan in Studio, and add your first client from there. Every client site is $49.50 a month on one invoice.
A card is required to start the 7-day free trial, as the last step of setup. You're charged $49.50 a month 7 days after you start, unless you cancel first.
