Wholesale partner rates Updated 10 Sep 2026 SEO + AEO + GEO

White-label rates for agencies that need AEO and GEO delivery.

Wholesale pricing built from real delivery cost, not a guess. You sell it as your studio. We fulfil topical maps, content, links, and AI-visibility work under your brand.

Rate card

How to read every price on this page

This is the September 2026 growth-partner card: Semantic SEO plus AEO plus GEO, organised the way a client actually buys the work.

Wholesale vs suggested resale

Wholesale is your cost. Suggested resale is a reasonable market rate, not a requirement. Keep your client pricing independent of ours.

Every figure already includes a 20-25% margin over actual delivery cost, so wholesale reflects operations rather than a round number.

Topical Map is the foundation. Content and AEO hold together as one structure because every retainer tier includes it.

Two labels you will see

  • Table stakes are baseline market expectations, included from the entry tier up.
  • Differentiator is where most competitors are thin, based on research across 65 agencies and marketplace sellers.
  • We build llms.txt where it is relevant. Google does not treat it as a Search ranking factor. We use it as a referral signal for Claude, Perplexity, and coding agents.

How we work

Five steps, from first call to ongoing delivery

Every engagement runs this sequence. Steps 2-5 can be quoted standalone if you only need one part.

01

Align

A call or meeting to lock project requirements and communication before anything is quoted or scoped.

02

Audit

If needed, a technical, on-page, and off-page SEO audit. Content and AEO work does not hold if technical issues stay open.

03

Topical map + briefs

Map layout, then semantic content briefs, then writing. This is the core method and flagship differentiator.

04

Complete package

Audit fixes, topical map, content, and AEO combined so the client gets one process instead of disconnected pieces.

05

Off-page and extras

Backlinks, digital PR, and Meta or Google Ads where the brief actually needs them.

Live work you can review directly. Additional case studies sit under NDA and can be walked through on a call.

Monthly retainers

Semantic SEO + AEO + GEO, combined

Built from real month-by-month delivery economics. Every tier includes Topical Map architecture as the foundation, not an add-on.

Add-on modules, stack onto any tier

Voice search optimisation

$100/mo

Content structured for voice-assistant answer formats.

Multi-engine AI share tracking

$120/mo

Share of voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude.

Sentiment monitoring

$130/mo

Brand sentiment inside AI answers, not only presence or absence.

Real economics: a complete-package example runs $2,930 in Month 1, then about $2,575/mo from Month 3 at true cost. The tiers above apply 20-25% wholesale margin and split the work so you can quote the right entry point. Billing can be customised to the live site. We prefer that over a blind package quote.

Separate services

One-off work, or add-ons to an existing scope

For clients who want a single deliverable rather than a retainer. Wholesale includes the same 20-25% margin over delivery cost.

*Profit share needs conversion-value or revenue reporting on the client side. Confirm that before quoting the 2%.

Web design

Standard build pricing. Custom projects are scoped against budget and requirements, not forced into a fixed package.

Standard 5-page build$350 wholesale / $600-900 resale

Complimentary basic research is available before quoting so the package matches the live site, not a template.

Partner terms

Billing, volume, and how we scale with you

Invoicing

Currency

USD by default. EUR or GBP if that is easier for your books.

Minimums

No fixed minimum. Start with 1-3 clients for a trial so we can match your quality bar before scaling.

Agency volume discounts

10% off wholesale at 5 clients, 20% at 10, 30% at 15 (current capacity ceiling, revisited as we grow together).

Dedicated PM at scale

At 10+ managed clients: dedicated project manager, CRM tracking, biweekly and monthly reports, 1-month plan plus a rolling 3-month plan. This is the Australian white-label partner model, including domain and email management where needed.

Single point of contact

Confirmed once we scope your setup. We will match however you want client communication structured.

Calls under your brand

Reporting cadence

Bi-weekly and monthly for retainers. One-off work (audits, single briefs) ships as a full report when the task is complete, not held for a monthly cycle.
