White Label PPC: What to Ask Before You Outsource

What Is White Label PPC?

White label digital marketing lets an agency sell a service under its own brand while a specialist partner does the work. White label PPC applies that to paid search: the partner builds and manages your clients' Google Ads, and your clients only ever deal with you. If you're looking for a partner to run it, see our white label PPC management service. This guide covers what to check before you sign with anyone.

Questions to Ask a White Label PPC Provider

Who owns the Google Ads account?

The account should belong to your client, or to you if that's how your agreement with them works. Never let a provider build campaigns in an account it owns, because if you part ways, the history, data and conversion setup go with them.

Whose manager account will it sit in?

Ask whether the client account will be linked under your manager account (MCC) or theirs. Linking it to yours keeps you in control of access and billing, and means you can bring in a different provider later without rebuilding anything.

Will reports carry my branding?

Your client should see your logo and your template, not the provider's. Ask to see a sample report and check that you could forward it as it stands, or present it without rewriting.

Do you check conversion tracking before changing bids?

Smart bidding learns from conversion data, so broken or double-counted tracking means it optimises towards the wrong thing. A good provider audits Google Tag Manager, GA4 and the conversion actions first, and fixes them before touching bids.

How often do you review search terms?

The search terms report is where most wasted spend shows up. Weekly reviews with negative keywords added as they go are a reasonable standard; monthly is usually too slow for an account spending real money.

What's the minimum term?

Many providers ask for a minimum of around three months per account, which gives time to fix tracking and let bidding settle. Check what happens after that: rolling monthly is easier to resell than a long fixed contract.

How do you price it?

Most white label PPC is priced per client account, based on the number of campaigns and the size of the account. Ask for the wholesale price in writing so you know your margin before you quote the client.
