Offer Website Translation
as a Service to Your Clients
Add a high-margin recurring revenue stream to your agency. Translate client websites with LLM-powered accuracy, managed through a centralized dashboard.
The Opportunity: Upsell i18n to Your Existing Clients
Your agency already builds and manages websites for clients. Many of those clients serve international markets or want to expand globally. Website translation is a natural upsell -- it is high-value, recurring, and directly tied to business growth for your clients.
Traditionally, offering translation services meant partnering with translation agencies, managing complex multi-language CMS configurations, or telling clients to handle it themselves. The overhead made it impractical for most web agencies to offer as a standard service.
SiteLocaleAI changes the economics. With a single SDK deployment and per-site licensing, you can offer professional-grade website translation to every client in your portfolio. The work is minimal. The margins are excellent. And the revenue is monthly and recurring.
Agencies using SiteLocaleAI typically charge clients $200-500/month for managed translation services. With SiteLocaleAI plans at $49-249/month per site, that is a 50-80% gross margin on recurring revenue.
How It Works for Agencies
The agency model is simple: you deploy one instance of the SiteLocaleAI SDK on your infrastructure and manage multiple client sites from a single admin dashboard. Each client site gets its own license key and configuration, but you control everything centrally.
Deploy the SDK Once
Set up the SiteLocaleAI SDK on your agency's server or a managed VPS. One deployment handles all your client sites. Use your own LLM API keys to control quality and costs.
Add Client Sites
Register each client site through the dashboard. Configure target languages, pricing rules, and branding per site. Add the script tag to the client's website.
Bill Your Clients
Charge clients your agency rate for managed translation services. SiteLocaleAI's per-site licensing keeps your costs predictable and your margins healthy.
The Revenue Math
Website translation is a high-margin recurring service. Here is what the economics look like for a typical agency with 10 client sites.
| Scenario | Your Cost | Client Charges | Monthly Profit | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small sites (Starter plan, 5 languages) | $49/site | $200/site | $151/site | 75% |
| Medium sites (Growth plan, 20 languages) | $99/site | $350/site | $251/site | 72% |
| Enterprise sites (unlimited languages) | $249/site | $500/site | $251/site | 50% |
| 10 sites (mixed plans) | ~$1,200/mo | ~$3,500/mo | ~$2,300/mo | 66% |
Plus LLM API costs (typically $1-5/month per site after initial translation) using your own API keys. These costs are minimal because translations are cached after the first request.
With just 10 client sites on mixed plans, an agency can generate approximately $2,300/month in recurring profit with minimal ongoing management. Scale to 25 sites and you are looking at $5,000-6,000/month in additional agency revenue.
Per-Site Licensing Keeps Costs Predictable
SiteLocaleAI uses per-site licensing, not per-user or per-page pricing. This means your costs are predictable and directly tied to the number of client sites you manage. No surprises when a client adds 50 new pages or their traffic spikes during a product launch.
