Web design studios adding SEO
A studio finishes a site and the client asks how to get found. You sell monthly SEO under your name, and we deliver the audit, on-page updates and reporting.
For agencies and consultants who want to resell SEO under their own brand. A monthly plan covers audits, on-page work, content support and monthly reporting.
Quick answer
An SEO reseller plan is a monthly white-label bundle of search engine optimization work that Pugmarks Media delivers under an agency's or consultant's brand. The plan sets deliverables in advance, such as audits, on-page updates, content support and link building, with monthly reporting. Cost depends on scope, client sites and market competition.
01Overview
An SEO reseller plan is a recurring arrangement in which an agency or consultant sells search engine optimization to its own clients while a specialist provider does the work behind the scenes. The reseller keeps the client relationship, the invoice and the brand. The provider handles delivery and reporting.
Here is a concrete example. A web design studio finishes a site for a dental supply shop, and the owner asks how to get found on Google. The studio sells a monthly SEO service under its own name. We run the audit, update page titles and headings, and send a monthly report the studio presents as its own.
A plan matters because it fixes the scope in advance. Both sides know which deliverables arrive each month, so the reseller can price the service with confidence and avoid taking on work it cannot staff.
Plans are not the same as one-off projects. Search work builds over months, so the plan is a continuing service rather than a single audit or a set of page edits.
Pugmarks Media has been working since 2015, and our team includes 25+ SEO specialists. Every engagement starts with a discovery call and a site audit. We then agree a strategy and work plan with you before any changes go live.

Agencies selling social or paid media often get SEO requests they cannot staff. Our team of 25+ SEO specialists does the work, so you avoid hiring and training.
Consultants who reach capacity can hand off technical audits, keyword mapping and content support. You keep the client relationship and the invoice.
Clients with one location usually need local SEO tasks, such as Google Business Profile work, plus on-page fixes. A plan scopes these per client site.
Teams that build sites can add technical SEO and monthly reporting as a recurring service. Scope depends on the number of sites and pages.
If your SEO work is in place but outreach is the bottleneck, a plan can add link building under your brand. Scope is set per plan.

07Cost
The cost of an SEO reseller plan depends on three things: how much work each client site needs, how many pages and locations are covered, and how competitive the client's market is. A small local site usually needs less than a multi-location store competing for crowded terms. For a quote based on your client list, see our pricing page or contact our team.

No. Monthly SEO packages are usually sold directly to a business owner, while a reseller plan is sold to an agency or consultant who resells the work under their own brand. The deliverables can look similar. You can compare direct options on our SEO packages page.
No. Delivery is white-label, so audits, reports and communication carry your brand, not ours. You remain the point of contact for the client. If you want to confirm how branding works for your setup, raise it on the discovery call.
Our reseller plans cover SEO delivery. If you sell website design and SEO as one offer, you can build the site yourself and resell our SEO work alongside it. Agencies often start SEO right after a site launch. Ask us on a scoping call if you need something broader.
The main risks are quality control and results that vary. SEO outcomes are never guaranteed, since they depend on competition, site condition and search engine changes. You can reduce risk by approving the work plan before changes go live and reviewing monthly reports. Our SEO outsourcing guide covers this further.
