ROI Logic

With a Professional plan at $149/mo, an agency can support up to 100 clients, enabling a retainer of $420/mo per client as seen in the productized offer. Even with 5 clients, the margin exceeds $1,900/mo after tool costs, making the white-label portal a high-margin recurring revenue stream.

Deliverables
  • White-label ClientsDashboard portal configured with agency branding and custom domain
  • Client onboarding guide and training materials for portal usage
  • Project templates and task checklists for common service types
  • Invoice and payment processing setup with Stripe or PayPal
  • Monthly portal health check and maintenance checklist
Definition of Done

The portal is fully white-labeled, a pilot client is onboarded and trained, and the agency has a repeatable process for launching and maintaining client portals.
