CitationBench tracks daily SERP rankings and AI citations across every client workspace, giving agencies the unified visibility they need to prove total SEO ROI.
Managing 10 to 100 client brands with tools designed for single-site users creates gaps that cost agencies clients.
Traditional rank trackers ignore ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, leaving agencies unable to report on AI search visibility.
AgencyAnalytics, Ahrefs, and Surfer sit in separate tabs, forcing teams to manually compile rank data for every client.
Building keyword universes, setting up tracking, and configuring reporting from scratch for every new brand drains team capacity.
The fix
CitationBench delivers daily SERP rank tracking and AI citation monitoring across all client workspaces from a single platform, with multi-workspace architecture, automated reporting, and a brand bootstrap agent that gets new clients live fast.
Five core capabilities that give agencies daily rank visibility, AI citation data, and competitive intelligence across every client portfolio.
Core Tracking
Track keyword positions daily for every client from one platform. Results are scoped per client via the X-Workspace-Id header, with full history, bulk rank pulls across all workspaces, and white-label-ready output.
AI Visibility
Track brand citations in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for target queries via research.ai_citation.check. Returns share-of-voice per AI engine with historical trajectory, so agencies can answer when clients ask about AI search presence.
Agency Architecture
A single master API key manages all client workspaces. Every keyword, rank history, campaign, and setting is scoped per client via X-Workspace-Id. Bulk actions run across all workspaces simultaneously.
Competitive Research
Add competitor URLs per client workspace to pull backlinks and keyword universes via research.competitor.backlinks and research.competitor.overlap. Surfaces winnable ranking opportunities by client before you write a word.
Opportunity Detection
The SERP cliff detector in research.serp_gap.analyze flags keywords where the top results are weak, signaling realistic ranking opportunities. Run it per client to prioritize content and outreach where it moves the needle.
How it works
An `sk_test_*` key lands in your dashboard instantly. No demo gate — start calling real endpoints with shape-complete responses.
`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.
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.
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
Hosted at mcp.citationbench.com/mcp. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and ChatGPT Apps. No self-hosting required.
Every long-running call runs on Cyclonic workers — survives restarts, cancellable, resumable, streams via SSE. Production-safe by default.
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.
Every endpoint responds in shape-complete demo mode without auth, so you can build the agent before the user signs up.
