The answer, as recorded

**Caveat worth stating up front:** almost every "Top 10 White Label PPC Agencies 2026" page in the results is written by one of the vendors on the list (Clicks Geek, InvisiblePPC, Wildnet, Improtics all publish their own rankings). Treat that content as marketing, not evaluation. Below is my ordering based on who actually sells agency-only fulfillment, publishes pricing, and has a real track record - not on listicle placement. ### The core picks 1. **InvisiblePPC** - my default recommendation. They sell *only* to agencies, which matters: no channel conflict, no risk of them poaching your client. Pricing is public - 10% of ad spend for partners, 15% for non-partners on $5k+ spend - which is unusually transparent for this category, and the flat-fee tiers make your margin predictable instead of guesswork. White-labeled reporting and client-facing comms are the product, not an add-on. ([invisibleppc.com/pricing](https://invisibleppc.com/pricing)) 2. **Clicks Geek** - best for lead-gen and local service clients. Google Premier Partner, and they bundle conversion-rate optimization with campaign management rather than optimizing to CTR and calling it a win. They also explicitly position as an *overflow* team, so it works if you have in-house PPC staff and just need surge capacity rather than full outsourcing. Flat monthly per account or % of spend. ([clicksgeek.com/services/white-label-ppc](https://clicksgeek.com/services/white-label-ppc/)) 3. **Vendasta** - pick this if your problem is *scale at the low end*, not craft. It's a platform, not just a fulfillment shop: white-label storefront, CRM, automated client reporting, plus a 250+ product marketplace with Google/Bing/Meta fulfillment behind it. Right answer if you're reselling $1-3k/mo packages to lots of SMBs and reporting overhead is what's actually killing you. Wrong answer if you have a handful of $50k/mo accounts. ([vendasta.com/blog/white-label-ppc](https://www.vendasta.com/blog/white-label-ppc/)) 4. **WebFX** - for the top end. Worth it when your clients have real budgets and expect enterprise-grade reporting; their MarketingCloudFX platform is the differentiator. Priced accordingly, so margins are thinner than with a dedicated white-label shop. ([webfx.com](https://www.webfx.com/)) 5. **That Company** - the one-partner-many-services play. Operating since 2007, covering PPC alongside SEO, social, and web. Choose them if you're launching several white-label offerings at once and want a single vendor relationship instead of four. ([marketingltb.com/blog/agency/best-white-label-ppc-agencies](https://marketingltb.com/blog/agency/best-white-label-ppc-agencies/)) 6. **ROI Minds** - the value option. Google + Meta, ecommerce-leaning, cheaper than the US-based shops. Reasonable when your clients' budgets don't support a 10%-of-spend US partner. 7. **The HOTH** - only if you're already buying their SEO. The PPC arm is newer and secondary to their SEO business, but agency forums rate their documentation and comms well, which is genuinely the thing that breaks most white-label relationships. ### The option most people skip **Fractional specialists via MarketerHire, Mayple, or GrowTal** - $80-150+/hr, roughly 48-hour turnaround on a match. For overflow, or for one or two accounts too strategic to hand to a fulfillment shop, this often beats a white-label agency: you keep account control and strategy, and you're not paying a percentage of spend forever. ([growtal.com](https://www.growtal.com/), [mayple.com](https://www.mayple.com/)) ### What to actually ask on the sales call The differences between these shops are smaller than the differences between good and bad *contracts* with them. Nail down: accounts per account-manager (under ~20 is the honest answer); who owns the Google Ads account and MCC when you leave; whether they'll join client calls under your brand; minimum ad spend per account; and notice period. Ask for two references from agencies your size - the ones that will actually take the call are the tell.
