How to White-Label AI Voice Agents for Your Agency Clients
Learn how to offer AI voice agents under your own brand. Set up white-label portals, configure custom domains, and manage multiple clients from a single platform.
TL;DR: White-labeling AI voice agents lets agencies offer a fully branded product with 60-80% margins. Setup takes under an hour: upload your logo, configure a custom domain, create client accounts with granular permissions, and set pricing tiers ($497-1,997/month). Your clients see your brand — not the platform behind it.
White-labeling is what separates agencies that resell a product from agencies that own a product. When you white-label AI voice agents, your clients see your brand, your domain, and your interface — not the platform behind it.
Here's how to set up a fully white-labeled AI voice agent offering.
What White-Labeling Actually Means
When you white-label AI voice agents, your clients experience:
- Your brand — Your logo, colors, and company name throughout the dashboard
- Your domain — Clients access their portal at
ai.youragency.com, not a third-party URL - Your pricing — You set what clients pay, with margins you control
- Your support — Clients come to you for help, not the platform vendor
Behind the scenes, you're using a platform like BuildVoiceAI to power everything. But from the client's perspective, it's entirely your product.
Step 1: Configure Your Agency Brand
Start with the visual identity your clients will see:
- Logo upload — Your agency logo appears in the sidebar, login page, and portal
- Color scheme — Primary and accent colors that match your brand guidelines
- Company name — Displayed in the header, emails, and throughout the UI
- Support information — Your support email and links, not the platform's
This takes about five minutes and immediately transforms the generic platform into something that looks custom-built.
Step 2: Set Up Your Custom Domain
A custom domain is the single most impactful white-label feature. Instead of clients logging in at a generic URL, they'll access their dashboard at your domain.
The setup process:
- Choose a subdomain (e.g.,
portal.youragency.comorai.youragency.com) - Add a CNAME record pointing to the platform's DNS
- Add a TXT record for domain verification
- Wait for DNS propagation (usually 15-30 minutes)
- The platform automatically provisions an SSL certificate
Once configured, everything from login to the client portal runs on your domain.
Step 3: Create Client Accounts
Each of your clients gets their own isolated environment:
- Separate agent lists — Each client only sees their own agents
- Isolated call history — No cross-client data exposure
- Individual billing — Track usage and costs per client
- Custom permissions — Control what each client can see and do
When creating a client, you assign:
- A name and primary contact
- Which agents belong to them
- Which phone numbers they use
- What features they can access (analytics, transcripts, integrations, etc.)
Step 4: Configure Client Permissions
Not every client needs access to everything. Granular permissions let you control the experience:
| Permission | What It Controls | |-----------|-----------------| | View costs | Whether clients can see per-minute costs and spending | | View transcripts | Access to full call transcripts | | View analytics | Access to the analytics dashboard | | Playback recordings | Ability to listen to call recordings | | Manage integrations | Connect their own CRM, calendar, etc. | | Edit agents | Modify agent prompts and settings | | Manage users | Invite team members to their portal | | View API keys | Access API credentials |
Set sensible defaults at the agency level, then override per-client as needed. For example, you might hide costs from clients on flat-rate plans but show them to clients on usage-based billing.
Step 5: Set Up Client Billing
You have several options for billing your clients:
Flat monthly retainer:
- Simple to understand and predict
- Charge $500-2,000/month depending on volume
- You absorb the per-minute costs and keep the margin
Usage-based billing:
- Charge per minute of AI call time (e.g., $0.35-0.50/min)
- More transparent but less predictable for clients
- Use Stripe Connect to automate invoicing
Hybrid model:
- Base monthly fee + overage charges above a certain minute threshold
- Best of both worlds — predictable for clients, profitable for you
Step 6: Invite Client Users
Give your clients access to their portal:
- Create user accounts with email invitations
- Assign roles (Admin or Member)
- Clients log in at your custom domain
- They see only their agents, calls, and analytics
Admins can invite additional team members and manage their organization. Members get read-only access to the features you've enabled.
Common White-Label Setups
The "Managed Service" Agency:
- Hides all technical settings from clients
- Clients only see call history and analytics
- Agency handles all agent creation and management
- Highest touch, highest margin
The "Platform" Agency:
- Gives clients full access to build their own agents
- Enables all permissions and features
- Acts more like a SaaS reseller
- Lower touch, scalable
The "Hybrid" Agency:
- Agency builds and optimizes agents
- Clients monitor performance and view results
- Some editing capabilities for minor adjustments
- Best balance of service quality and scalability
Pricing Your White-Label Service
Here's how successful agencies typically structure pricing:
| Tier | Monthly Price | What's Included | |------|--------------|-----------------| | Basic | $497/mo | 1 agent, 500 minutes, basic analytics | | Professional | $997/mo | 3 agents, 1,500 minutes, CRM integration | | Enterprise | $1,997/mo | Unlimited agents, 5,000 minutes, custom workflows |
Your actual costs on a platform like BuildVoiceAI at $0.15/min:
- 500 minutes = $75/mo cost → $422 margin
- 1,500 minutes = $225/mo cost → $772 margin
- 5,000 minutes = $750/mo cost → $1,247 margin
The margins speak for themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to set up a white-label AI voice agent platform?
Initial setup takes about 30-60 minutes: uploading your logo, setting brand colors, and configuring your custom domain. DNS propagation for custom domains typically takes 15-30 minutes. You can have your first client onboarded within the same day.
Can my clients tell they're using a third-party platform?
No — that's the entire point of white-labeling. Clients see your logo, your colors, your domain, and your support contact. The underlying platform is completely invisible. Even system emails come from your brand.
What margins can I expect from white-labeling AI voice agents?
Typical agency margins are 60-80%. For example, if your platform costs $0.15/min and you charge clients $0.40/min or a $997/month flat rate covering 1,500 minutes ($225 cost), your margin is $772 per client per month. Agencies with 10+ clients regularly generate $7,000-15,000/month in recurring profit.
Can I have different pricing for different clients?
Yes. White-label platforms support per-client pricing configurations. You can offer flat monthly retainers to some clients, usage-based pricing to others, and hybrid models to enterprise accounts. Each client can have completely different rate structures.
What happens if the platform goes down — do my clients know?
Your clients experience any downtime as your service being down, not the platform's. Choose a platform with strong uptime SLAs (99.9%+) and status page monitoring. Most white-label platforms also let you configure your own status page at your domain.
