Approval Workflows for SEO Automate with Confidence
CitationBench agents embed human approval gates into automated SEO workflows, so every output is auditable and compliant without slowing down production.
Compliance Slows Down SEO Production
Manual approval loops create bottlenecks that delay campaigns, break deadlines, and erode client trust.
Reviews Kill Campaign Momentum
Waiting for client sign-off on each content piece stalls entire production queues and misses publish windows.
No Audit Trail When Things Go Wrong
Fire-and-forget automation tools publish without logging who approved what, leaving agencies exposed to compliance risk.
Brand Voice Breaks Across Clients
Without enforceable style gates, content slips past review inconsistent in tone, leaving account managers to catch errors after publishing.
The fix
Approval Gates Built Into Every Agent Job
CitationBench agents pause at configurable checkpoints and emit an awaiting_approval state. Reviewers approve or reject via dashboard or API. The agent resumes exactly where it stopped, with every decision logged and auditable.
Every Control You Need in One Workflow
From approval gates to durable job execution and content quality checks, CitationBench covers the full compliance and production stack for SEO agencies.
Compliance Control
Human Approval Gates at Any Step
Any agent job can pause and emit awaiting_approval at any checkpoint. Reviewers act via the dashboard or POST /v1/agent/invocations/{id}/approve. Every pause, review, and outcome is logged for compliance.
- Pause at any agent step
- Approve via dashboard or API
- Full decision audit log
Job Reliability
Jobs That Survive Restarts and Wait
All agent jobs run on durable Cyclonic workers. They survive server restarts, hold at approval gates without timing out, and resume exactly where they stopped via agent.invocations.continue.
- Durable Cyclonic workers
- Resumable after approval
- Cancel or continue via API
Workflow Orchestration
One Endpoint Runs Any Named Agent
POST /v1/agent/invoke runs any named agent with structured input and streams real-time events via SSE. Agents can pause mid-run for human review, then continue on approval without losing state.
- POST /v1/agent/invoke entry point
- Real-time SSE event streaming
- Multi-turn approval continuation
Brand Consistency
Enforce Brand Voice Before Approval
Configure reusable content refiners per client workspace via produce.refine.* to enforce brand voice, remove competitor mentions, and inject CTAs before content ever reaches the approval gate.
- Reusable per-client refiner rules
- CTA and FAQ injection
- Bulk apply across workspaces
System Integration
Trigger External Systems on Approval Events
Register per-workspace webhooks to fire on agent.invocation.awaiting_approval and agent.invocation.completed events, so your Slack channels or project management tools are notified the moment a review is needed.
- agent.invocation.awaiting_approval event
- Per-workspace webhook registration
- Slack and downstream workflow support
How it works
From sign-up to first call in five minutes.
Sign up and get your key
An `sk_test_*` key lands in your dashboard instantly. No demo gate — start calling real endpoints with shape-complete responses.
Add the MCP server or hit REST
`claude mcp add citationbench https://mcp.citationbench.com/mcp` from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. Or `curl` against `api.citationbench.com/v1/*` directly.
Run a tool or invoke an agent
Every tool returns shape-complete demo data without auth, so your agent works before the user signs up. Tools across research, production, indexing, link-building, and agents.
Scope to a workspace and ship
Add `X-Workspace-Id: ws_***` to scope per client. Switch to a live `sk_live_*` key when you're ready. Same API surface, same SDK.
Why CitationBench
Built for production, agency-scale, and AI-agent-first.
~35 tools, one MCP server
Hosted at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and ChatGPT Apps. No self-hosting required.
Durable jobs, not fire-and-forget
Every long-running call runs on Cyclonic workers — survives restarts, cancellable, resumable, streams via SSE. Production-safe by default.
Multi-workspace from day one
One master API key, N client workspaces. Switch with a single `X-Workspace-Id` header. Per-client data isolation, bulk ops across all of them.
Demo mode out of the box
Every endpoint responds in shape-complete demo mode without auth, so you can build the agent before the user signs up.
