Is Elvate worth running as a client service?

Elvate's evidence supports a white-label link building offer for agencies that want editorial placements and digital PR delivered under their own brand, with branded reporting and verifiable placements. What remains unknown is the vendor cost per tier, the labor required per client, and any client price the agency can charge, all of which must be captured before any margin or ROI claim is credible.
