CitationBench is the SEO client management software that unifies research, content production, link building, and rank tracking for every client brand in one platform.
Agencies managing 10 or more brands break under the weight of fragmented tools and manual handoffs.
Stitching together Ahrefs, Surfer, Apollo, and AgencyAnalytics for every new brand costs days of setup time.
No single view spans research, content, links, and rankings across all your client workspaces simultaneously.
Clients ask whether they appear in ChatGPT or Perplexity, and your current stack has no answer.
The fix
CitationBench replaces your fragmented tool stack with a single platform covering keyword research, content production, multi-platform publishing, link building, rank tracking, and AI citation monitoring across every client workspace.
Five core capabilities that cover the full SEO ops workflow from research through measurement for every client you manage.
Agency Architecture
Manage every client brand under a single master account. All data, keywords, content, and campaigns are isolated per workspace via the X-Workspace-Id header, with bulk actions available across all clients at once.
Performance Monitoring
Pull daily rank data for every client keyword from one dashboard or via REST API. Results are scoped per client workspace, supporting white-label reporting and bulk rank pulls across your full portfolio.
Agentic Workflows
Run the brand-bootstrap agent via POST /v1/agent/invoke to generate ICPs, build a labeled keyword universe, and produce a content plan for a new client brand in 20 minutes, with human approval gates before any action is published.
GEO Monitoring
Answer every client's AI search question with data. CitationBench tracks brand citations across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity via research.ai_citation.check and delivers share-of-voice trends alongside traditional rank data.
Link Building
One POST /v1/link-building/serp-outreach call scrapes the SERP, discovers contacts via Apollo, and generates 50 personalized outreach drafts via Instantly for human review before any email is sent.
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.
