SEO Platform for Holding Companies Managing Every Brand
CitationBench gives holding company teams one platform to manage SEO across every brand in your portfolio — from bootstrapping new subsidiaries to daily rank monitoring and link building.
Portfolio SEO Is Breaking Your Team
Managing SEO across a holding company's brand portfolio with fragmented tools drains small teams and hides performance gaps.
One Tool Per Brand
Juggling separate Ahrefs, Surfer, and AgencyAnalytics accounts per subsidiary means your team spends hours switching contexts instead of driving results.
New Brands Stall at Launch
Bootstrapping each new subsidiary from scratch takes weeks, delaying organic visibility while competitors establish their foothold.
No Unified Portfolio View
Rank data is siloed per brand, so leadership sees no single source of truth across the entire holding company portfolio.
The fix
One Platform. Every Brand Under Your Roof.
CitationBench gives holding companies a multi-workspace architecture where one team manages every subsidiary's keyword research, content production, indexing, and rank tracking from a single platform — with full brand isolation and unified reporting.
Everything Your Portfolio Needs in One Place
CitationBench covers the complete SEO workflow across all your brands — research, production, distribution, and monitoring — with workspace isolation so each brand stays clean.
Portfolio Architecture
Manage Every Brand From One Account
One master account manages every subsidiary as an isolated workspace. All calls scoped per brand via X-Workspace-Id, so keyword sets, content, and campaigns never bleed across your holding company portfolio.
- Per-brand workspace isolation
- Single master API key
- Bulk actions across brands
Brand Bootstrap
Launch New Subsidiaries in 20 Minutes
The brand-bootstrap agent runs POST /v1/agent/invoke to generate ICP profiles, build a labeled keyword universe, and draft a content plan for any new subsidiary — pausing for your approval before anything goes live.
- Full SEO presence in 20 minutes
- ICP and keyword universe built automatically
- Approval gates before publish
Daily Monitoring
Portfolio Wide Rank Tracking Every Day
Daily rank tracking runs across every subsidiary workspace automatically. Pull per-brand results via X-Workspace-Id or aggregate across your entire holding company portfolio in one bulk query.
- Daily tracking across all brands
- Per-brand keyword history
- White-label ready reports
AI Search Visibility
Track AI Citations Across Every Brand
Research.ai_citation.check monitors every subsidiary's presence in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. See which brands are cited in AI search and which are invisible — all in one unified portfolio view.
- ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity tracking
- Share of voice per brand
- Historical citation trajectory
Governance
Human Approval Gates for Every Brand
Any agent across any subsidiary workspace can pause and emit awaiting_approval before publishing or sending outreach. Approve or reject via the dashboard or POST /v1/agent/invocations/{id}/approve — every decision logged and auditable.
- Pause at any agent step
- Full audit log per decision
- Dashboard or API approvals
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.
