Quick Answer

Create fully branded rank tracking reports with your logo, colors, and domain for client presentations and agency reporting.

When you're managing SEO for clients, presenting professional, branded reports builds trust and reinforces your agency's identity. NitroShock's white label reporting lets you create fully branded rank tracking reports with your logo, colors, and domain for client presentations and agency reporting. Instead of sending reports stamped with third-party branding, you deliver polished, professional documents that look like they came directly from your team.

This guide covers everything you need to set up white label branding, customize your reports, and deliver professional rank tracking updates to clients.

White label setup

White label functionality in NitroShock lets you replace default branding with your own across all generated reports. This transforms generic SEO reports into branded assets that reinforce your agency's professional image.

Creating your first brand profile

Brand profiles store your visual identity and company information for use across all reports. You can create multiple profiles for different brands or divisions within your organization.

To set up your first brand profile:

  1. Navigate to Account DashboardBranding tab
  2. Click + New Brand Profile
  3. Enter your brand profile name (this is internal only - clients won't see it)
  4. Complete the brand information fields
  5. Upload your visual assets
  6. Save your profile

You can create as many brand profiles as needed. Agencies managing multiple brands often create separate profiles for each client's sub-brand or for different service tiers.

Required brand information

Each brand profile requires several core elements that appear throughout your reports:

Company Details:

  • Company name (appears in report headers and footers)
  • Website URL (included as clickable link in reports)
  • Contact email (displayed for client inquiries)
  • Phone number (optional, appears in footer)

Visual Identity:

  • Logo file (PNG or JPG, recommended size 400x100px minimum)
  • Primary brand color (hex code for headers and accents)
  • Secondary color (optional, for charts and highlights)

Report Footer Content:

  • Custom footer text (address, tagline, or legal disclaimer)
  • Social media links (optional)
  • Additional contact information

 

Upload high-resolution logo files for best results. Reports generate at print quality, so logos should be at least 400px wide to avoid pixelation in PDF output.

 

Testing your brand profile

Before using a new brand profile with clients, generate a test report to verify all elements appear correctly:

  1. Select any project with existing rank tracking data
  2. Navigate to Reports tab
  3. Choose Position Tracking report type
  4. Select your new brand profile from the dropdown
  5. Generate a preview report

Review the test report carefully, checking:

  • Logo clarity and positioning
  • Color consistency throughout the document
  • Contact information accuracy
  • Footer formatting
  • Overall professional appearance

Make adjustments to your brand profile as needed, then generate another test report to confirm changes.

Custom branding

Beyond basic logo and color substitution, NitroShock's white label system lets you customize how data appears in reports and control the narrative around your client's SEO performance.

Visual customization options

Header and Footer Control:

The report header displays on every page, establishing brand identity immediately. You control:

  • Logo placement (left, center, or right alignment)
  • Header background color
  • Report title formatting
  • Date range display style

The footer appears on all pages except the cover, providing consistent branding and contact information throughout the document.

Color Scheme Application:

Your primary brand color applies to:

  • Section headers and dividers
  • Chart accent colors
  • Performance indicators (positive trends)
  • Table headers
  • Call-to-action elements

Your secondary color (if specified) affects:

  • Negative trend indicators
  • Comparison data points
  • Supporting charts
  • Visual hierarchies

Typography and Layout:

While core typography maintains readability standards, you can influence layout through:

  • Company name prominence in headers
  • Contact information positioning
  • Footer text alignment
  • Section break styling

Domain masking

For agencies operating multiple brands or reselling SEO services under different identities, domain consistency matters. Reports include URLs in several locations:

  • Email delivery links
  • Footer website references
  • Contact information sections
  • Report access URLs

When you specify your website URL in the brand profile, NitroShock uses that domain throughout reports instead of referencing nitroshock.ai. This maintains the illusion that reports generate from your own proprietary system.

For example, if your brand profile lists www.agencyseo.com, report footers and contact sections reference that domain, not the underlying NitroShock platform.

Custom messaging

Professional reports require context and explanation. White label reports let you add custom messaging in several areas:

Cover Page Introduction:

Add a personalized message on the report cover page explaining:

  • Report purpose and scope
  • Date range significance
  • Key focus areas
  • Next steps or recommendations

This message appears below the report title and date range, providing immediate context before clients review data.

Section Introductions:

Each major report section (Position Summary, Keyword Performance, Competitor Analysis) can include brief explanatory text. Use this to:

  • Explain metrics to less technical clients
  • Highlight important trends
  • Provide industry context
  • Set expectations for performance changes

Executive Summary Customization:

The executive summary at the report's beginning can be tailored to emphasize specific achievements or explain challenges. This narrative control helps you:

  • Frame performance positively
  • Provide context for ranking fluctuations
  • Highlight wins worth celebrating
  • Manage client expectations proactively

Report customization

White label branding provides visual identity, but report customization controls what data clients see and how it's presented. Effective customization makes reports more relevant and actionable for specific clients.

Selecting report components

Position tracking reports can include various data components. Choose which sections appear based on client sophistication and reporting needs:

Core Position Data:

  • Overall position summary (average position, movement trends)
  • Keyword-by-keyword position tracking
  • Position distribution (how many keywords in top 3, top 10, top 20, etc.)
  • Historical position charts

Competitive Intelligence:

  • Competitor position tracking for up to 5 domains
  • Competitive position changes period-over-period
  • Share of voice metrics
  • Competitive keyword gaps

SERP Feature Tracking:

  • Featured snippet capture rate
  • People Also Ask appearances
  • Local pack inclusions
  • Image and video pack presence
  • AI Overview citations

Search Intent Analysis:

  • Keyword performance by intent type (informational, commercial, transactional, navigational)
  • Intent-based position improvements
  • Conversion-focused keyword tracking

Include only components relevant to each client's goals. A local business may care more about local pack appearances than featured snippets, while an e-commerce site prioritizes transactional keyword rankings.

Date range and frequency

Report timing affects how data tells the story of SEO progress:

Standard Date Ranges:

  • Last 7 days (weekly updates)
  • Last 30 days (monthly reports)
  • Last 90 days (quarterly reviews)
  • Custom date ranges (for specific campaigns or seasonal analysis)

Choose date ranges that match your client reporting cadence and provide meaningful comparison data. Monthly reports work well for most clients, showing enough change to demonstrate progress without overwhelming them with daily fluctuations.

Comparison Periods:

Reports can compare current performance against previous periods:

  • Week-over-week changes
  • Month-over-month improvements
  • Year-over-year trends
  • Custom period comparisons

Period comparisons help clients understand trajectory and improvement velocity, making your work's impact more tangible.

Keyword filtering and grouping

Not all tracked keywords need to appear in every client report. Strategic filtering makes reports more focused and relevant:

Performance-Based Filtering:

Show only keywords meeting specific criteria:

  • Keywords in top 10 positions
  • Keywords that improved this period
  • Keywords losing positions (to highlight areas needing attention)
  • Keywords with high search volume

Topic-Based Grouping:

Organize keywords by topic, product category, or campaign:

  • Product line A keywords
  • Service page keywords
  • Blog content keywords
  • Local search terms

Grouping helps clients understand performance across different business areas and makes large keyword sets more digestible.

Priority Keyword Highlighting:

Flag high-priority keywords in reports:

  • Revenue-generating transactional terms
  • Brand protection keywords
  • Competitive battleground keywords
  • Seasonal or time-sensitive terms

Priority highlighting draws attention to keywords that matter most for business outcomes.

Chart and visualization options

Data visualization makes trends obvious at a glance. Customize which charts appear and how they display information:

Position Trend Charts:

Line charts showing position changes over time can display:

  • All keywords as separate lines (for small keyword sets)
  • Average position trend (for large keyword sets)
  • Grouped keyword trends (by topic or intent)
  • Individual priority keyword trends

Position Distribution Charts:

Bar or pie charts showing keyword distribution across position ranges:

  • Top 3 positions
  • Positions 4-10
  • Positions 11-20
  • Positions 21-50
  • Beyond position 50

Competitor Comparison Charts:

Visual comparisons between your client's positions and competitor domains:

  • Head-to-head position comparisons
  • Share of voice by competitor
  • Competitive movement trends

SERP Feature Charts:

Visualization of SERP feature presence:

  • Feature capture rate over time
  • Feature type distribution
  • Competitor feature presence comparison

Select visualizations that make key insights obvious to your specific client audience.

Client delivery

Creating beautiful white label reports means nothing if delivery fails. Professional delivery mechanisms ensure reports reach clients reliably and create positive touchpoints.

Manual report generation

For one-time reports or custom requests, manual generation provides full control:

  1. Open the relevant project
  2. Navigate to Reports tab
  3. Click Generate Report
  4. Select Position Tracking as report type
  5. Choose date range
  6. Select your brand profile
  7. Customize report components (optional)
  8. Click Generate

Report generation typically completes within 30-60 seconds depending on data volume. Once generated, reports appear in your Reports history with options to:

  • Download PDF immediately
  • Send via email
  • Copy shareable link
  • Regenerate with different settings

Manual generation uses credits - you'll see the exact cost before confirming generation.

Scheduled automated delivery

Automated report scheduling eliminates manual work and ensures clients receive updates consistently:

Setting Up Scheduled Reports:

  1. Navigate to project Reports tab
  2. Click Schedule Report
  3. Select report type (Position Tracking)
  4. Choose frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
  5. Set delivery day and time
  6. Select brand profile
  7. Configure report components
  8. Add recipient email addresses
  9. Customize email message (optional)
  10. Activate schedule

Scheduled reports generate automatically according to your specified frequency, using the most recent data available at generation time.

Schedule Management:

Active schedules appear in the project Reports tab with controls to:

  • Pause schedule temporarily
  • Edit schedule settings
  • View generation history
  • Disable schedule permanently

You can create multiple schedules for the same project - weekly internal reports for your team and monthly comprehensive reports for clients, for example.

Email delivery options

Reports can reach clients through several email delivery methods:

Direct Email Attachment:

Send the PDF report directly as an email attachment:

  • Fastest delivery method
  • No additional clicks required from client
  • Works with any email provider
  • Subject to email size limits (typically 10-25MB)

Email with Download Link:

Send an email containing a secure download link:

  • Bypasses email attachment size restrictions
  • Provides access tracking (you can see when clients open reports)
  • Links remain active for 90 days
  • Professional appearance with preview option

Custom Email Messages:

Personalize the delivery email with:

  • Custom subject line
  • Personalized message body
  • Call-to-action for follow-up meetings
  • Additional context or highlights

Always send yourself a test report before scheduling automated delivery to new clients. Verify that email messages render correctly and links function properly.

Client access portals

Some agencies prefer giving clients direct portal access rather than email delivery:

Shared Project Access:

Add clients as User role team members with access limited to their specific project:

  1. Navigate to Account DashboardTeam tab
  2. Click Invite Team Member
  3. Enter client email
  4. Select User role
  5. Assign only their project
  6. Send invitation

Clients can then log in to view their project's Reports tab and access all historical reports without needing agency assistance.

Benefits of Portal Access:

  • Clients access reports on-demand
  • Historical report archive available 24/7
  • Reduces "can you resend that report" requests
  • Demonstrates transparency
  • Provides real-time data access between scheduled reports

Portal Access Considerations:

  • Clients see exact rank positions and data (good for transparency, but removes ability to filter before presentation)
  • Requires client to remember login credentials
  • May generate support questions directed to you about platform features
  • Appropriate for sophisticated clients comfortable with SEO data

Report history and versioning

All generated reports remain accessible in your project Reports tab indefinitely:

Report Archive Features:

  • Chronological list of all generated reports
  • Searchable by date range and report type
  • Filterable by brand profile used
  • Download any historical report
  • Regenerate past reports with updated branding

This archive provides value for:

  • Client onboarding (showing historical performance)
  • Year-over-year comparisons
  • Demonstrating long-term value
  • Auditing report accuracy
  • Resolving client disputes about past performance

Version Control:

When you regenerate a report for the same date range:

  • Original version remains accessible
  • New version clearly marked with generation timestamp
  • Both versions available for download
  • No overwriting of historical reports

This versioning prevents accidental data loss and provides flexibility to update reports with corrected data or improved branding.

Common Questions

Can I create different brand profiles for different clients?

Yes, you can create unlimited brand profiles. Many agencies create a unique profile for each major client, allowing reports to feature the client's own branding rather than the agency's. This approach works well when operating as a white-label SEO provider where clients resell your services under their own brand.

Do clients see NitroShock branding anywhere in white label reports?

No. When you generate a report using a brand profile, all NitroShock branding is removed and replaced with your specified company name, logo, colors, and contact information. Reports appear to come entirely from your organization. However, if you share direct project access with clients as team members, they will see the NitroShock platform interface when logged in.

Can I edit reports after generating them?

PDF reports cannot be edited after generation, but you can regenerate reports with different settings, components, or date ranges at any time. Each generation uses credits, so finalize your report configuration before generating final client deliverables. Save generated reports to your Reports history for reference when configuring future reports.

How do scheduled reports handle rank tracking updates?

Scheduled reports generate using the most recent rank tracking data available at the scheduled time. If you schedule a monthly report for the 1st of each month but last ran rank checks on the 28th of the previous month, the report includes data through the 28th. For accurate scheduled reporting, align your rank check schedule with your report schedule - for example, schedule rank checks to run daily or weekly so monthly reports always include current data.

Can clients unsubscribe from scheduled report emails?

Report delivery emails include standard unsubscribe functionality to comply with email regulations. If a client unsubscribes, they stop receiving automated reports but the schedule remains active. You'll receive a notification when someone unsubscribes, allowing you to follow up and determine if they want reports delivered differently (portal access, different email address, etc.) or prefer to discontinue reports entirely.
