Most local SEO agencies don't lose money on link building because the work is too hard. They lose money because they try to build the capability themselves, and that capability costs a lot more than it looks like on paper.
To build links yourself, at minimum you need someone doing outreach, someone vetting sites so you're not placing links on junk, and someone writing content that actually gets accepted. That's not one hire, it's three skill sets, and most agencies end up paying for all three badly, spread across people who are also doing other things.
Add in the tools: a backlink checker, an outreach platform, maybe a content pipeline. None of it is free, and none of it is optional if you want links a client won't be embarrassed to see in a report.
A white-label partner isn't just cheaper labor, it's a team that already has the vetted site relationships, the process, and the track record. You're not paying someone to learn how to do this. You're paying for links that are already vetted for real traffic and relevance, delivered on a schedule you can promise a client.
Not every white-label link building partner is worth using. Before you hand over a client's campaign, make sure whoever you're working with can show you: real site vetting (not just a DR number), a guarantee on what happens if a link disappears, and white-label reporting you can hand straight to your client without editing it first.
That's the whole point of a partner like this. You stay the agency your client trusts, and the actual link building happens invisibly behind you.
