What is a white-label portal?
A white-label portal is a client portal that runs on a third-party platform but shows only your agency's brand: your logo, colors and domain, with the provider's branding removed.

White-Label
White-label describes a product or service made by one company and sold by another under the seller's own brand. Agencies use it in two ways: reselling services delivered by a partner, and running software branded as their own.
Client portal
A client portal is a secure, branded website where an agency's clients log in to see project status, share files, approve work, submit requests, message the team and pay invoices.
Brand guidelines
Documentation that defines how a brand should be represented across all touchpoints. Brand guidelines ensure consistency and protect brand integrity in agency creative work.

Frequently asked questions
Is white-labeling included in most client portal software?
Logo and color branding are common on entry plans. Custom domains, branded email and removing the vendor's "Powered by" mark are often limited to higher plans, so check which level each plan includes before comparing prices.
Do I need technical skills to set up a white-label portal?
No. The only technical step is usually adding a CNAME record at your domain registrar, which the platform explains. SSL certificates are typically issued automatically.
What is the difference between a white-label portal and white-label services?
A white-label portal is software you present under your brand. White-label services are work, such as SEO or development, that a partner delivers and you resell under your brand. Many agencies use both, but they involve different contracts and risks.
Does a white-label portal affect SEO?
Not directly. Client portals sit behind a login and are not indexed by search engines. The benefit is brand consistency for clients, not search traffic.
