Short answer: SEO Engico is the top pick for an SEO outsourcing company if you want one team for SEO, technical fixes, website work and vetted links, with wholesale links from $145 and no contact with your client. Click Intelligence suits UK agencies that want overflow help with no tie-in, Search Engine People suits agencies handing over technical SEO, and The HOTH suits agencies that keep strategy and outsource tasks.
An SEO outsourcing company does your clients' SEO behind your brand, so your agency can sell it without hiring a team. Done well, you keep the relationship and the margin while specialists do the audits, fixes, content and links. Done badly, you end up managing a supplier you cannot see, answering for work you did not check, with no easy way out.
This list covers companies that sell outsourced or white label SEO to agencies and consultants, checked against their own sites in November 2026. It deliberately mixes the UK, Canada, the US and India, because where the team sits changes the price, the hours and how you manage the work. Each entry is judged on what it publishes: who does the work, how much you hand over, how it reports, and what the contract says about leaving and about your clients.

How we picked
- Clear about who does the work, and where. Ask whether the people on your accounts are employees or subcontractors, which country they work in and what hours they keep. Vague answers here usually mean the work is passed on again.
- The right amount of hand-off. Some companies run the whole campaign, strategy included. Others take single tasks while you keep the plan. Neither is better, but mixing them up leads to gaps nobody owns.
- A plan you can explain to your client. You will be asked what was done this month. A written strategy, a keyword map and a change log let you answer without phoning the supplier first.
- An exit you can live with. Check the notice period, whether accounts and tools stay in your client's name, and what happens to work in progress. Short notice and client-owned access make switching painless.
- Client protection in writing. An NDA, a promise never to contact your client and a non-solicitation clause that outlasts the contract protect the one thing you cannot replace.
The 7 best SEO outsourcing companies for agencies in 2026
Our top pick
1. SEO Engico
- Best for
- Agencies outsourcing SEO, technical fixes and links to one team
- Based in
- London, UK
- Founded
- 2018
SEO Engico is a London SEO and link building agency, founded in 2018, working with businesses and agencies in the UK, US, Australia and India. For agencies and consultants it does white-label SEO, website builds and technical fixes, and most of its link volume is white label, so an agency can outsource the site work, the SEO and the links to one team instead of three suppliers.
Links are where outsourcing usually goes wrong, and here every site is found, checked and placed by its own team, with no PBNs, broker lists or marketplaces. Each site has to show real organic traffic verified in Ahrefs, relevance to the client's niche and a clean outbound link profile, and it says about 70% fail. Wholesale links are $145 each with a ten link minimum and no monthly commitment, $120 from 20 a month and $105 from 40 a month. By its own delivery records, 94% of placements are still live after 12 months.
Your brand goes on every report, it never contacts your client, and reports are formatted to forward. Its published agency proof is Digital Junkies, a digital marketing agency that resells SEO Engico's link building under its own brand, with 16 to 20 links placed a month, sustained.
What stands out
- White-label SEO, website builds and technical fixes for agencies, alongside links
- Every link site found and placed in-house, with no broker lists
- Published wholesale link rates, from $145 down to $105 at volume
- Live URL report with the anchor and date for every link, and any link that comes down is replaced
Worth knowing
- It is not built for buyers who want the cheapest links or hundreds a month.
- The team works from London, so agencies in the Americas should agree a regular call time.

2. Click Intelligence
- Best for
- UK and European agencies that want overflow SEO help with no tie-in
- Based in
- Cheltenham, England, UK
Click Intelligence is a UK SEO agency with offices in Cheltenham and London, and it says more than 500 digital agencies across the UK, US and Europe use it as their white label SEO partner, in over 20 countries. It pitches the service for three situations: adding SEO to your offer, coping with a busy period, or bringing in specialist skills your team does not have.
Every white label engagement is unbranded. Your clients get reporting through a white-labelled version of Click Insights, its own reporting platform, and a dedicated account manager presented as part of your team. There are no management fees and no long tie-ins, and you can scale up or down as your client list changes. Its wider SEO work includes international SEO with hreflang and localised keyword research, and link building through blogger outreach, niche edits, expert quotes and digital PR.
What stands out
- No management fees and no long tie-ins
- White-labelled reporting dashboard and a dedicated account manager
- International SEO for agencies with clients in several countries
Worth knowing
- Most of its site speaks to direct clients, and white label is one service among several.
- Pricing is not published, so the starting point is a consultation call.
No. 3
3. Search Engine People
- Best for
- Agencies handing over whole campaigns, technical SEO and tracking included
- Based in
- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Search Engine People sells fully managed white label SEO, which it also calls reseller or wholesale SEO, with strategy, execution and optimisation done by its team and your branding on every report, dashboard and deliverable. Its published methodology goes further into technical work than most: crawl and index fixes, schema, Core Web Vitals, site architecture and conversion work, plus tracking set up across Google Analytics 4, Search Console and Tag Manager, alongside keyword mapping, content and links.
It says it has been in business for more than 20 years and has over 3,000 clients. Agencies get a dedicated account manager, white glove onboarding and volume-based pricing as their SEO book grows. There is no minimum contract term, just a simple out clause with a notice period, and monthly reports come with next steps.
What stands out
- Technical scope that includes Core Web Vitals, schema and site architecture
- Tracking setup across GA4, Search Console and Tag Manager
- No minimum contract term
Worth knowing
- Prices are not published, and volume pricing is agreed with an account manager.
- It also works as a Toronto SEO agency for direct clients, so white label is one part of the business.
No. 4
4. PixelCrayons
- Best for
- Agencies outsourcing offshore that want client protection and a paper trail
- Based in
- Noida, India
PixelCrayons runs a white label SEO line that resells audits, technical fixes, content, digital PR and AI search upkeep under your brand, in your templates and sent from your domain. It says it has served more than 500 agencies and typically replies within four business hours.
The paperwork is where it stands out. A mutual NDA goes on file in the first week, and it will not approach your clients for direct business during the work or for twelve months after the last assignment. Engagements can run inside Prism, its client workspace, with client names withheld and every request, approval and task recorded, plus a weekly review of pages shipped and fixes deployed. Month one brings a crawl audit with fix owners named, a keyword-to-URL map and a measurement plan.
What stands out
- Non-solicitation cover for twelve months after the last assignment
- Client names withheld inside its Prism workspace
- Month-one audit, keyword map and measurement plan
Worth knowing
- Prism is included with some engagements, not all.
- Rates come on a partner price list and rate card you request rather than on the page.
No. 5
5. That! Company
- Best for
- Agencies that want US account staff in front and an offshore team behind
- Based in
- Orlando, Florida, US
- Founded
- 2007
That! Company is unusually open about how its outsourcing is staffed. Its client-facing consultants are full-time employees in the US, and it has a large full-time team in the Philippines working 8am to 5pm Eastern shifts, in roles that are not client-facing project management. It stresses that these are employees with benefits, not subcontractors. The mix keeps prices down without putting an unfamiliar voice on your client calls.
It also offers overflow capacity for agencies not yet ready to hire, and covers SEO, local SEO, PPC, social media and website design. Where you want it to, it handles client contact under your brand, including white label phone lines. It started in Orlando in 2007 and says it signed its first white label agreement in 2008.
What stands out
- US-based client-facing consultants
- Overflow capacity for agencies not ready to hire
- Full-time staff rather than subcontractors, by its own account
Worth knowing
- SEO is priced on a retainer that is quoted rather than listed.
- Its model leans towards talking to your clients, so agree up front if you want to stay the only voice.
No. 6
6. Loganix
- Best for
- Agencies that keep the plan and outsource SEO work one task at a time
- Based in
- Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Loganix is built for handing off individual pieces of SEO, PPC and content work rather than whole campaigns. You open a free account and get access to more than 15 self-serve services, starting from $7, covering links, citations, content and SEO tasks, and pay per order or by subscription. Fully managed options sit alongside the on-demand menu.
Each order comes back for you to review and approve, and you can ask for replacements free of charge. It says its fulfilment team averages six years of SEO experience and promises proactive check-ins and predictable delivery, which matters when you have promised a client a date. Because you choose the tasks, the strategy stays with your agency.
What stands out
- Over 15 services from $7, ordered as and when you need them
- Review, approve or request free replacements on each order
- Pay per order or move to a subscription
Worth knowing
- Task ordering means the strategy has to come from you.
- Its roots are in link building, so check depth if you need ongoing technical SEO.
No. 7
7. The HOTH
- Best for
- Agencies that want a wide SEO catalogue plus managed campaigns in one account
- Based in
- Saint Petersburg, Florida, US
The HOTH lets agencies resell link building, content and managed SEO under their own brand, and suits agencies that want to choose how much they outsource client by client. Through a free reseller account you can order link outreach, link insertions, blog content, web copy, citation cleanup and technical SEO work, or hand a client over to its managed SEO programme. Orders and reports sit in one dashboard, and every report is private label.
Wholesale prices open up inside the account, with a bulk buyer programme that adds credits as volume grows. Verified resellers also get sales guides, pitch decks and case studies. It says it serves more than 200,000 agencies and businesses, so expect a product-led setup rather than a small bespoke team.
What stands out
- Single tasks or a managed campaign from the same account
- Private label reports with no HOTH branding
- Bulk buyer credits on top of wholesale pricing
Worth knowing
- It sells direct to businesses as well as through resellers.
- Wholesale prices sit behind a free account rather than on the reseller page.
How to choose an SEO outsourcing company
Decide what you are keeping before you decide who to hire. If your agency owns the strategy and just needs hands, a task-based company that takes orders works well and costs less. If you want the whole thing off your plate, pick a company that writes the plan, does the work and reports on it, and accept that you are paying for its judgement as well as its time.
Then think about distance. An offshore team can be excellent value, but only if the hours overlap enough for questions to be answered while your client is still at their desk. Ask who your contact is, where they sit and how fast they reply, and check that with a test brief before you move real accounts.
Finally, read the contract as if you were leaving. Short notice periods, access kept in your client's name and a clear non-solicitation clause make outsourcing safe to try. Start with one or two clients, judge the first month's work and reports, and only then move the rest.
Questions to ask before you sign
- Are the people on my accounts your employees, and which country and hours do they work in?
- Do you write the strategy, or do you expect me to brief every task?
- What do I receive each month, and can I see a sample report and change log?
- What is the notice period, and whose name are the analytics, Search Console and tool accounts in?
- Will you ever contact my clients, and how long does your non-solicitation clause last?
- Who places the links, and can I check the sites before they go live?
Frequently asked questions
What is an SEO outsourcing company?
An SEO outsourcing company does SEO work for another business, usually an agency or consultant, which then sells it to its own clients. The work is normally white label, so the client sees the agency's brand on reports and never hears from the outsourcing company. Some take whole campaigns, others take single tasks.
How much does it cost to outsource SEO?
It depends on scope, market and how much you hand over. Task-based companies publish low starting prices, Loganix lists services from $7, while managed campaigns are usually quoted per client. SEO Engico's wholesale links are $145 each. Budget for your own account time on top, because outsourcing rarely removes all of it.
Is it better to outsource SEO offshore or onshore?
Neither is better by default. Offshore teams can cost less, and some, like That! Company's team in the Philippines, work US Eastern hours. Onshore teams make same-day calls easier. What matters more is whether the people are employees, whether the hours overlap with your clients, and whether you can check the work before your client sees it.
What should an agency keep in-house when outsourcing SEO?
Keep the client relationship, the commercial goals and the final sign-off. Most agencies also keep the strategy, or at least approve it, and outsource the production: audits, fixes, content and links. Make sure analytics and Search Console stay in your client's name so nothing is lost if you change supplier.
How do I stop an SEO outsourcing company taking my clients?
Put it in the contract. Ask for an NDA, a promise that the company never contacts your client, and a non-solicitation clause that runs past the end of the work. PixelCrayons, for example, publishes a twelve-month window. Keep client accounts in the client's name, and be the only one who sends reports.
Our verdict
Choose SEO Engico if you want one team for SEO, technical fixes, website work and links that pass real traffic and relevance checks, with your brand on every report and no contact with your client. Pick Click Intelligence for overflow help with no tie-in, Search Engine People for technical depth, PixelCrayons for offshore value with strong client protection, That! Company for US staff with an offshore team behind them, and Loganix or The HOTH to outsource task by task.
