Agency Program Guide

How the Agency Program Actually Works

Everything you need to know before you sign up — pricing, billing, client portals, onboarding, and what happens behind the scenes. No fine print, no surprises.

What's On This Page

The Big Picture

Three Steps, Zero Complexity

You sign up as an agency partner. You add your clients. We do the AI SEO work. You collect the revenue. That's the entire model.

1

You Sign Up

Complete the partner agreement online. Takes about 3 minutes. You get your own agency portal and API access immediately.

2

You Add Clients

Submit client websites through your portal or API. Each site gets scanned automatically. First scores in under an hour.

3

You Collect Revenue

You bill your clients at your own price. We bill you at wholesale. You keep the margin. Rates drop as you add more clients.

You are the client's point of contact. Your clients never interact with ClickRadius directly. They see your agency as the provider. You set the pricing, you handle the relationship, and you control what they see.

Choose Your Model

Two Ways to Partner

Pick the model that fits how your agency operates. Same platform, same results, same volume tiers. The only difference is who handles client billing.

Wholesale Model

You bill your clients. You pay ClickRadius at wholesale rates. You collect from your clients at whatever price you set. You keep the margin.

  • Full control over client pricing
  • Higher margin potential
  • Your billing, your relationship
  • Bundle with other services
Your cost
$249 – $149/site/mo + $249 setup + $49/site

Referral Model

We bill your clients. ClickRadius charges the end client at retail ($299/$499/$799). We pay you the difference between retail and our wholesale rate each month.

  • No billing infrastructure needed
  • No setup fees at all
  • Monthly payouts deposited to you
  • Same volume tier discounts apply
Your payout (example at $499 retail)
$250 – $350/site/mo paid to you

Same economics, different mechanics. In both models, ClickRadius keeps the wholesale rate and you keep the spread. The only difference is who collects from the end client. You choose your model when you sign up, and you can discuss switching models with your account manager at any time.

Getting Started

How You Sign Up

The entire process takes less than 5 minutes. Here's exactly what happens when you apply.

1
Complete the Partner Agreement

Fill out your agency information — company name, contact details, and a password for your account. Choose your billing model (Wholesale or Referral). Review the terms and submit.

2
Your Account Is Created Instantly

The moment you submit, your agency account is live. You'll receive a login for the Agency Portal and a JWT token for API access. No approval queue, no waiting period.

3
Activate Your Account

Wholesale model: Pay the one-time $249 agency setup fee to activate. Referral model: Your account is active immediately — no setup fee required.

4
Start Adding Clients

Submit client websites through your portal or API. Wholesale: $49 per-site setup fee, then monthly wholesale billing. Referral: No fees — just submit and start earning payouts.

Contract details: 6-month minimum commitment for both models. No cancellation penalties after the initial period — you can cancel anytime after month 6. During the contract, you're billed (wholesale) or paid (referral) monthly for active sites only. Why 6 months?

Wholesale Pricing

Your Cost Per Client

Volume-based wholesale pricing. The more clients you add, the less you pay per site. Rates adjust automatically and apply retroactively to all your sites.

Tier Sites Your Cost Retail Price Your Margin
Starter 1 – 10 sites $249/site/mo $299 – $799/mo $50 – $550/site
Growth 11 – 25 sites $199/site/mo $299 – $799/mo $100 – $600/site
Scale 26+ sites $149/site/mo $299 – $799/mo $150 – $650/site

How Tier Upgrades Work

When you add your 11th site, you automatically move to the Growth tier. The new rate ($199/site) applies retroactively to all your existing sites — not just the new one.

Example: You have 10 sites at $249/site = $2,490/month. You add site #11. Now all 11 sites are at $199/site = $2,189/month. You just saved $301/month by adding one client.

One-Time Fees

  • $249 agency setup fee — paid once when you activate your account
  • $49 per-site setup fee — paid once for each new client site you add

You set your own client pricing. Retail plans are $299/$499/$799 per month. You can charge your clients the retail price, charge more for premium service, or anything in between. ClickRadius never communicates pricing to your clients.

Adding Clients

How You Onboard a New Client

Two ways to add clients: through your Agency Portal (point-and-click) or through the API (programmatic). Both take under 5 minutes.

Option A: Through the Agency Portal

Log into your Agency Portal and click "Submit New Client." Fill in:

  • Business name and website URL (required)
  • Contact name, email, and phone (optional but recommended)
  • Business address and type (optional)
  • Whether to create a client login (checkbox)

Click submit. That's it. The site scan starts automatically.

Option B: Through the API

For agencies that want to integrate ClickRadius into their own systems, we provide a full REST API. One API call adds a client:

POST /api/agreements/submit-sale
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN

{
  "business_name": "Smith Dental",
  "website_url": "https://smithdental.com",
  "contact_email": "john@smithdental.com",
  "create_client_login": true
}

What Happens Next

After you submit a client, here's the automatic timeline:

  • Immediately: Site is registered, scan begins, $49 setup fee is recorded
  • Within 1 hour: First AI Readiness Score is calculated
  • Within 24 hours: Auto-fix recommendations are generated
  • Ongoing: Weekly scans, citation monitoring across 6 AI engines, automated content recommendations

If you checked "create client login," you'll receive temporary credentials to share with your client so they can access their own portal.

Billing

How Billing Works

Two models, two money flows. Same margins either way — the difference is who handles client billing.

Wholesale Model: You Bill the Client

Your Client Pays your agency at your price
Pays you
Your Agency Keeps the margin
Pays wholesale
ClickRadius Provides the platform
  • Monthly: Wholesale rate × number of active sites (rate depends on your current volume tier)
  • One-time: $249 agency setup fee (paid at activation)
  • Per new client: $49 site setup fee (paid when you add each site)

Your monthly invoice is calculated automatically. If you add or remove sites mid-month, the bill is prorated.

Referral Model: ClickRadius Bills the Client

Your Client Pays ClickRadius at retail
Pays retail
ClickRadius Keeps wholesale, pays you the rest
Pays spread
Your Agency Receives monthly payout
  • No setup fees: No agency setup fee, no per-site setup fee
  • Monthly payouts: ClickRadius deposits your earned spread each month (retail price minus wholesale rate)
  • You choose the plan: When you submit a client, you select their retail plan ($299/$499/$799)

Your payout grows as you move up volume tiers — the wholesale rate drops, so the spread increases.

What You Bill Your Clients

Whatever you want. ClickRadius has no involvement in your client billing. Common approaches:

  • Pass-through plus margin: Charge retail rates ($299/$499/$799) and pocket the difference
  • Bundled service: Include ClickRadius as part of a larger monthly retainer
  • Premium markup: Charge more than retail and add your own consulting on top
  • Value-based pricing: Charge based on the client's revenue or business size

Your clients never see ClickRadius wholesale pricing. The client portal doesn't display costs. Your client invoices come from you, not from us. The wholesale relationship is completely invisible to your end clients.

Client Portals

What Your Clients Get

Each client can get their own login to view their AI readiness data. You control whether they get access or not.

Client Login — Optional, You Decide

When you add a client, you choose whether to create a login for them. If you do, the system generates temporary credentials that you share with your client. If you don't, only you can see their data through your agency portal.

AI Readiness Score

Overall score with breakdown by category: technical SEO, content quality, schema markup, citation presence, entity strength.

Citation Monitoring

Track mentions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, and Grok. See when AI engines cite or recommend the business.

Auto-Fix History

Every automated fix the platform deploys is logged: what changed, when, and what improved. Full transparency for your clients.

Content Recommendations

AI-generated suggestions for new content, schema improvements, and entity building opportunities specific to their industry.

Score Trends

Historical charts showing score changes over time. Prove ROI to clients with hard data — where they started vs. where they are now.

Billing (Optional)

Clients can view their own billing history if you choose to enable it. This shows your charges to them, not ClickRadius wholesale rates.

Revenue Potential

Show Me the Math

Here's what your recurring revenue looks like at each tier, assuming you charge your clients the standard retail rate of $499/month.

Starter Tier
5 clients at $499/mo each
You charge clients$2,495/mo
You pay ClickRadius$1,245/mo
Per-client cost$249/site
Monthly Profit
$1,250
Growth Tier
15 clients at $499/mo each
You charge clients$7,485/mo
You pay ClickRadius$2,985/mo
Per-client cost$199/site
Monthly Profit
$4,500
Scale Tier
30 clients at $499/mo each
You charge clients$14,970/mo
You pay ClickRadius$4,470/mo
Per-client cost$149/site
Monthly Profit
$10,500

Above: Wholesale model. These numbers assume $499/mo retail pricing. Many agencies charge $599–$999/month. At $799/month with 30 clients at Scale, your margin jumps to $19,500/mo.

Referral Model Revenue

Same volume tiers, same margins — but ClickRadius handles all billing. Your payout = retail price minus wholesale rate.

Tier (Sites) Client Plan Client Pays CR Keeps Your Payout
Starter (1-10)Starter$299/mo$249$50/mo
Starter (1-10)Professional$499/mo$249$250/mo
Starter (1-10)Premium$799/mo$249$550/mo
Growth (11-25)Professional$499/mo$199$300/mo
Growth (11-25)Premium$799/mo$199$600/mo
Scale (26+)Professional$499/mo$149$350/mo
Scale (26+)Premium$799/mo$149$650/mo

Example: 15 clients on Professional ($499) at Growth tier = $4,500/mo in payouts deposited to you each month. Same margin as wholesale — zero billing work on your end.

The 6-Month Commitment

Why We Require 6 Months

AI search visibility doesn't work like traditional SEO. Here's an honest look at the timeline and why cutting short would shortchange your clients.

AI Engines Don't Update Overnight

When ClickRadius optimizes a website — deploying schema markup, building entity signals, generating optimized content, establishing citation presence — those changes need to be discovered and processed by AI engines. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, and Grok each have their own crawl schedules, training cycles, and knowledge update windows. Some update weekly, some monthly, some on longer cycles. It takes time for optimizations to propagate across all six engines.

The Typical Timeline

  • Month 1: Initial scan, scoring, and first round of auto-fixes deployed. Schema markup, meta tags, and structured data are optimized. Entity signals begin building.
  • Month 2: AI engines begin discovering the changes. Citation monitoring starts picking up early signals. Content recommendations are generated and deployed.
  • Month 3: Entity presence strengthens across platforms (Google Business Profile, Wikidata, Apple Maps, industry directories). First measurable citation improvements typically appear.
  • Month 4: Thompson Sampling (our patent-pending optimization algorithm) has enough data to start making intelligent decisions about what's working. Auto-fixes become increasingly targeted.
  • Month 5: Compound effects kick in. Multiple rounds of optimization are now live. Citation rates accelerate as entity authority builds across engines.
  • Month 6: Full optimization cycle complete. Measurable, demonstrable results across AI visibility metrics. The foundation is set for ongoing, compounding improvements.

What This Means for You

If a client quits at month 2, they've paid for 2 months of work but haven't seen the results of that work yet. That's a bad outcome for everyone — the client thinks it didn't work, you lose a client, and the optimizations that would have delivered results in months 4-6 never get the chance.

The 6-month minimum protects your clients from quitting before results arrive. It also protects your agency's reputation — when clients stay long enough to see results, your retention rate and referrals go up.

After 6 months, you're month-to-month. No cancellation penalties, no renewal commitments. If the results speak for themselves — and they will — clients stay because they want to, not because they have to. Our retention data shows that clients who complete the initial 6-month cycle renew at over 85%.

FAQ

Common Questions

Who bills the end client?
It depends on which model you choose. Wholesale model: You bill your clients at whatever price you set. ClickRadius bills you at wholesale. Referral model: ClickRadius bills your clients directly at retail ($299/$499/$799), and we pay you the difference between retail and wholesale each month. Either way, your clients never see wholesale pricing.
What's the difference between Wholesale and Referral?
Same platform, same results, same volume tier pricing. The only difference is billing. Wholesale: You handle all client billing and keep the margin directly. You have full control over pricing. Referral: We handle all client billing at retail rates and deposit your earned spread monthly. No setup fees, no billing infrastructure needed. You pick the model when you sign up.
Does my client know about ClickRadius?
Your client will see the ClickRadius platform in their portal, but they won't see pricing or your wholesale costs. You present it as part of your agency's service offering. Many agencies describe it as "our AI SEO technology partner" or simply don't mention it at all.
Do I need to give my clients portal access?
No. Client logins are optional. When you add a client, you choose whether to create a login for them. Some agencies give clients full portal access for transparency. Others keep it internal and just share monthly reports. Either approach works.
What happens if I cancel a client?
You can deactivate a client site at any time. That site stops being billed on your next monthly invoice. If deactivating drops you below a tier threshold (e.g., from 11 sites to 10), your rate adjusts upward to the lower tier — but only on the next billing cycle.
What is the minimum commitment?
6-month initial contract. After that, you're month-to-month with no cancellation penalties. During the initial 6 months, you're billed for active sites only — there's no minimum number of clients required.
How fast can I onboard a new client?
Under 5 minutes. Submit the client through your portal or API, and the first scan begins automatically. Initial AI Readiness Score is available within 1 hour, and first auto-fix recommendations within 24 hours. You can have a client live and showing data in a single meeting.
What exactly does each client get?
Every client site gets the full ClickRadius platform: AI Readiness scoring, automated on-site fixes (schema markup, meta tags, structured data), citation monitoring across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, and Grok, content recommendations, and weekly re-scans. There are no feature tiers at the agency level — every site gets everything.
When does the tier rate change apply?
Immediately and retroactively. When you add your 11th site, all 11 sites instantly move to $199/month. When you add your 26th site, all 26 sites move to $149/month. You don't need to wait for a billing cycle — the lower rate applies to your next invoice across all sites.
Can I use the API to integrate with my existing tools?
Yes. Every agency partner gets full REST API access with JWT authentication. You can automate client onboarding, pull AI Readiness scores into your own dashboards, trigger scans programmatically, and build custom reporting. Full endpoint documentation is available in your Agency Portal.
What about the auto-fix feature — does the client need to do anything?
It depends on the fix. For sites where auto-deploy is enabled, fixes are deployed directly to the client's website via the ClickRadius snippet — no client action needed. For sites without auto-deploy, recommendations are generated and displayed in the portal for manual implementation. You control this setting per client.
