2. Google mentioned
   So I've weighted toward durable signals: Google Premier Partner status, verifiable scale, third-party reviews (Clutch/Capterra/G2), and published pricing.

The answer, as recorded

## The honest caveat first This category's search results are almost entirely SEO content farms - one provider (Clicks Geek) owns the top 10 results for nearly every query via hundreds of near-duplicate "9 Best White Label PPC Providers" posts, all of which conveniently rank themselves. So I've weighted toward durable signals: Google Premier Partner status, verifiable scale, third-party reviews (Clutch/Capterra/G2), and published pricing. ## Dedicated white-label PPC fulfillment **1. White Shark Media** - the default pick. Founded 2011, Google Premier Partner, Amazon Ads partner, ~80 agency partners and 5,000+ end clients, 35,000+ accounts handled. Covers Google, Microsoft, Meta with white-label dashboards; starts around $299/mo. It has a real [Clutch profile](https://www.clutch.co/profile/white-shark-media) with reviews - rare in this space. Best if you want one established vendor you can put in front of clients on calls. **2. DashClicks** - best economics for volume. Software plus in-house fulfillment on a flat ~$199/mo platform fee with unlimited client sub-accounts and white-label portals, then pay per service. Genuine [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/179692/DashClicks/reviews/) and G2 review volume. Good for agencies selling many small local accounts; less suited to complex or high-spend accounts. **3. SEOReseller** - tiered pricing keyed to client ad spend, so you can start one account at a time and scale. Lowest barrier to entry if you're testing whether PPC belongs in your offer at all. **4. That Company** - white-label since 2007 and full-stack (PPC + SEO + content + web). Pick this when you want one subcontractor across services instead of managing three vendors. **5. Agency Elevation** - 100% US-based team, 1,000+ agency clients. Worth it specifically if your clients are sensitive to offshore delivery or you need people who can join client calls in your timezone and accent. **6. Clicks Geek** - Google Premier Partner, ~$500/mo per client, strong on local service-business lead gen (home services, legal, medical). Legitimately credentialed; just discount their own listicles, which rank them first in every one. ## Different model: rent a senior specialist, not a shop **7. MarketerHire** - vetted fractional marketers matched in ~48 hours, roughly $7-10K/mo, no minimum commitment. Better than a fulfillment shop when the account needs strategy and judgment rather than campaign hygiene. **8. Mayple** - matches on performance data from comparable accounts; $1,800-$5,350/mo packages, $5K minimum and a 3-month commitment, and includes account management. The middle ground between a freelancer and a vendor. **9. Growtal** - consultative matching to freelance PPC talent; useful when you want to interview a few people before committing. ## If you want breadth over depth **10. Vendasta** - not a PPC agency but a reseller marketplace with 250+ white-labelable products. Right answer if PPC is one gap among many (reputation, listings, social) rather than your core need. ## Two things to negotiate hard - **Pricing norm is 10-15% of managed ad spend** with per-client monthly minimums. Make sure the minimum doesn't eat your margin on small accounts - that's where agencies get burned. - **Ad account ownership.** Insist the Google Ads accounts live under your MCC, not the vendor's. Otherwise switching providers means rebuilding campaigns and losing conversion history, and you've handed your churn leverage to a subcontractor. One name I'd have expected on this list is **Clix Marketing** - a well-regarded paid-media boutique that some agencies subcontract to - but I couldn't confirm they publicly offer a white-label program, so treat that as a direct conversation rather than an off-the-shelf option.
