White-label SEO · Manila

White-label SEO from the Philippines.

A senior strategist and specialists deliver under your brand, in your clients’ timezone. Since 2017.

White-label SEO · Manila. Your agency keeps the client relationship.

Run on the AI we built for ourselves.

Is this outsourcing, or a partnership?

You’ll find us under “outsourcing” and “white label” because that’s what agencies search for.

What you get is a partnership: one retainer per partner, not per client; a strategist who brings you the next recommendation rather than waiting for a brief; account protection in writing; we never face your clients. The team is in Manila — that’s why it costs what it costs, not what you’re buying.

What the Manila team runs

For agencies anywhere that want a Manila team with senior direction, working under their brand and inside their clients’ day.

01

AI search and answer engines

First, because it is where the ground is still moving. We map the questions your client should own in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini, establish who is cited on them today, and build the pages, entities and sources that change the answer.

02

Answer coverage, measured per account

Prompt sets are designed for the account rather than bought in. We record which answers name your client, which name a rival and which name nobody, then work the gap. The benchmark behind the method is published for your team to inspect.

03

Technical SEO

Crawling, indexing, templates, internal links and page-level signals, reviewed and reduced to priorities your team can check. Each item names an owner and a review point, and says how to reverse it where the platform allows.

04

Content briefs and on-page work

Written in the client’s market English, starting from the search job and the page that already exists: the questions worth answering, supporting entities, internal-link changes and the judgement calls left to the writer.

05

A named reviewer before anything reaches you

One person checks the page, the query job, the links, the metadata, the structured data and the mobile output before your agency sees it. Open questions stay visible rather than being smoothed away to make a report look finished.

06

A free audit for your prospects

An SEO and AI-visibility audit on a prospect you are pitching, prepared here and presented by you in your template. Included in the retainer; your prospect never learns our name.

The first 30 days

For agencies anywhere that want a Manila team with senior direction, working under their brand and inside their clients’ day.

  1. 01

    Day one — in your channel

    Your strategist joins your internal Slack or Teams and meets your agency team. We confirm the first account, its commercial context, the access required and the one person who can approve a change.

  2. 02

    Week two — the plan, and what stops

    We audit demand, conversion and retention on the account, then set the order of work. The plan makes dependencies visible and names the activity that should stop, so your team can explain the sequence.

  3. 03

    Week three — specialists start

    Answer-engine and technical work begin together, tied to the account plan by the strategist. Your team reviews in the channel, then presents the recommendations and reporting to the client as its own.

  4. 04

    Day 60 — the fit check

    A scheduled review of the working relationship rather than the rankings: what is landing, what is not, and whether the priorities still match the client’s commercial reality. Six months initially, then monthly.

Before we start

Timezone, and what that means for your market

  • Manila runs on PHT (UTC+8). For Australian agencies that is a two- or three-hour offset — effectively the same working day, with the whole AEST morning shared.
  • For agencies in the United Kingdom, the overlap is your morning and our late afternoon: work briefed before your lunch is picked up the same day and waiting when you start the next.
  • For agencies in the United States, the team finishes as your East Coast day begins. Work moves overnight in your favour, and we hold a scheduled window for live calls rather than asking anyone to improvise.
  • We never face your clients. Your agency owns the relationship, the approvals and the presentation of the work; account protection is in writing.
  • One retainer per partner, from USD 2,000 a month, configured around the accounts in scope. No exclusivity requirement, and your resale price is yours.

Questions agencies ask about a Manila team

Who owns the client, who speaks, and what happens if we already know the brand.

Is this outsourcing?

It is a partnership with a team in Manila. The distinction that matters is not the map, it is who decides: a senior strategist sets the direction on your accounts and brings you the next recommendation, rather than waiting for you to brief the next task.

Does the work cost less because the team is in the Philippines?

The team is in Manila, and that is why it costs what it costs — but it is not what you are buying. You are buying senior direction on your accounts. If the only thing that mattered were the rate, you would not need a strategist at all.

How is the retainer priced?

One retainer per partner, from USD 2,000 a month, configured around the accounts in scope rather than billed per client. The initial term is six months, then monthly, with a fit check at day 60.

Which timezone does the team actually work?

Philippine time, UTC+8. That is the same working day as Australia, a shared morning with the United Kingdom, and an overnight handover into the United States East Coast. Live call windows are scheduled rather than improvised.

What is the standard of written English?

The Philippines is an English-working country and our writers work in the client’s market English — Australian, British or American spelling and idiom as the account requires. A named reviewer checks every page before your agency sees it.

Will LOKAL ever speak to our clients?

No. We never face your clients. Your agency owns the relationship and every piece of communication. We prepare the recommendations, evidence and work for your team to review and present.

What stops you approaching our clients directly?

Account protection in writing, signed before the first account starts. It names the clients in scope and continues to hold after the engagement ends.

How do you handle client data and access?

Access is requested per account, scoped to what the work needs and logged. Credentials stay in your systems wherever the platform supports delegated access, so removing us is a single action on your side.

How is this different from your outsource SEO page?

That page answers agencies searching the word “outsource” and covers the search work on its own terms. This page is for agencies who want the Manila team and its timezone reach across both SEO and AI search.

Can we start with one account?

That is the usual way in. One account, one strategist, six months, with the day-60 fit check to decide whether it should become more. A 30-minute consultation establishes whether the fit is real.
