Agency Platform Margin Stack
The Margin Stack framework helps agencies determine the optimal markup on Agency Platform's done-for-you SEO fulfillment. With a base cost of $178/mo for the white-label account, agencies can purchase individual SEO projects (site structure, schema, content, link building) at wholesale rates and resell them at 3-5x markup. For example, a local SEO package costing $300/mo in fulfillment can be sold for $1,000/mo, yielding a 70% gross margin. The framework maps three tiers: Bronze ($9/mo for 20 audit reports) for lead generation, Silver ($25/mo for 40 audits + proposals) for sales enablement, and Gold ($50/mo for unlimited audits) for enterprise clients. By stacking the base subscription cost against project margins, agencies can identify the minimum retainer needed to cover overhead and profit. A concrete scenario: an agency reselling the Local SEO Starter ($300/mo fulfillment) at $1,200/mo with 10 clients generates $9,000/mo gross profit after subscription and fulfillment costs.
