Brands named, in the order the engine gave

1. Clicks Geek mentioned
   The entire first page for every variation of this query is self-published listicles - one vendor (Clicks Geek) wrote most of the "9 Best White Label PPC Providers" articles that rank, and they place themselves #1 in all of them.
2. Agency Elevation recommended
   Agency Elevation (https://www.agencyelevation.com/white-label-ppc-management) - My default recommendation for SMB/local work.
3. Google mentioned
   Agency-only model (they don't take direct clients who'd compete with you), US-based team, Google + Microsoft Ads plus a separate Facebook Ads line, no setup fees, ~$1,000 minimum.
4. Microsoft mentioned
   Agency-only model (they don't take direct clients who'd compete with you), US-based team, Google + Microsoft Ads plus a separate Facebook Ads line, no setup fees, ~$1,000 minimum.
5. Clutch mentioned
   They have a real volume of verified Clutch reviews (https://clutch.co/go-to-review/agency-elevation/122797) - cost rated 4.5/5, with the recurring criticism being lead quality on some accounts rather than process or communication.
6. DashClicks mentioned
   DashClicks (https://dashclicks.com/dashclicks-vs-vendasta) - Pick this if your bottleneck is client-facing infrastructure, not just media buying.
7. Vendasta mentioned
   Vendasta (https://vendasta.com/blog/?p=67799) - Marketplace rather than a single vendor: 250+ rebrandable products, platform from $79/mo, services priced separately.
8. Single Grain mentioned
   Single Grain (https://www.singlegrain.com/agency/white-label-google-ads-agency-in-san-francisco/) - Steps up for larger accounts (ecom, B2B SaaS, heavier spend) where cheap SMB fulfillment shops break down.
9. MarketerHire mentioned
   MarketerHire (https://marketerhire.com/compare/mayple-vs-marketerhire) - The alternative I'd push if you have decent internal process and only lack hands: rent a vetted fractional paid-search specialist, month-to-month, no minimum, matched in ~48 hours.
10. Google Ads mentioned
    Ask who owns the Google Ads MCC and whether you get the account if you leave;

The answer, as recorded

## First, a warning about this particular search There is no credible independent ranking of white-label PPC providers. The entire first page for every variation of this query is self-published listicles - one vendor (Clicks Geek) wrote most of the "9 Best White Label PPC Providers" articles that rank, and they place themselves #1 in all of them. So treat the names below as a shortlist to vet, not a ranking. Assuming you mean **fulfillment partners your agency resells under its own brand** (not agencies that sell PPC to agencies as clients): **1. [Agency Elevation](https://www.agencyelevation.com/white-label-ppc-management)** - My default recommendation for SMB/local work. Agency-only model (they don't take direct clients who'd compete with you), US-based team, Google + Microsoft Ads plus a separate Facebook Ads line, no setup fees, ~$1,000 minimum. They have a real volume of verified [Clutch reviews](https://clutch.co/go-to-review/agency-elevation/122797) - cost rated 4.5/5, with the recurring criticism being lead *quality* on some accounts rather than process or communication. **2. [whiteDigital](https://clutch.co/go-to-review/whitedigital/387299)** - Google Premier Partner running 100% white label, no direct-client book at all. That structural detail matters more than it sounds: partners with their own retail clients will always triage yours second. **3. [Clicks Geek](https://clicksgeek.com/ppc-management-services-for-agencies/)** - Google Premier Partner, white-label-only, local-services lead gen with CRO attached, starts near $500/account/mo. Genuinely experienced in the niche; just judge them on a test account rather than on their own rankings. **4. [DashClicks](https://dashclicks.com/dashclicks-vs-vendasta)** - Pick this if your bottleneck is *client-facing infrastructure*, not just media buying. Free white-label dashboard that becomes your client portal, automated branded reporting, plus PPC/SEO/web fulfillment behind it. Best fit for high-volume, low-ticket SMB books. **5. [Vendasta](https://vendasta.com/blog/?p=67799)** - Marketplace rather than a single vendor: 250+ rebrandable products, platform from $79/mo, services priced separately. Right choice when PPC is one of eight things you sell and you want to swap vendors without rebuilding the relationship. **6. [That! Company](https://www.thatcompany.com/white-label-google-ads-management)** - Long-running white-label shop, Google Premier, PPC plus SEO/social under one roof. Solid for multi-channel fulfillment where you want one invoice. **7. [OuterBox](https://www.outerboxdesign.com/digital-marketing-services/paid-media/ppc/white-label/)** - Positioned explicitly as paid-media *capacity* for agencies, with real ecommerce depth. Good overflow partner. **8. [Single Grain](https://www.singlegrain.com/agency/white-label-google-ads-agency-in-san-francisco/)** - Steps up for larger accounts (ecom, B2B SaaS, heavier spend) where cheap SMB fulfillment shops break down. Costs accordingly. **9. [MarketerHire](https://marketerhire.com/compare/mayple-vs-marketerhire)** - The alternative I'd push if you have decent internal process and only lack hands: rent a vetted fractional paid-search specialist, month-to-month, no minimum, matched in ~48 hours. You keep strategy and QC instead of outsourcing both. [Mayple](https://marketerhire.com/blog/marketerhire-vs-mayple) is the managed-team version (~$1,800/mo, $5k minimum) if you want account management included. ## Pricing you should expect $500-$2,000 per account per month flat, or 10-25% of spend with 12-18% the normal band, plus $500-$2,500 setup. Agencies typically retail at $1,500-$4,000, so a 50-100% markup is the realistic target. ([pricing breakdown](https://clicksgeek.com/white-label-ppc-services-pricing/), [OuterBox](https://www.outerboxdesign.com/digital-marketing-services/paid-media/ppc/white-label/)) ## Three vetting questions that actually separate them Ask who owns the Google Ads MCC and whether you get the account if you leave; ask whether a strategist or a template builds the account, and get that person's name; and start with two live accounts on month-to-month before signing anything with volume commitments. Most failures in this category are capacity and account-ownership problems, not skill problems.
