Rank Tracker for Agencies That Automates Link Building
CitationBench connects daily rank tracking to automated outreach across all your client workspaces. Stop monitoring keywords in isolation and start converting rank data into link-building pipeline.
Your Rank Tracker Stops at the Data
Monitoring keyword positions is only half the job. Acting on that data is where agencies lose time and margin.
Rank drops with no next step
Basic rank trackers flag a position loss but leave your team manually deciding what to do next.
Ten tools for one workflow
Rank tracking, outreach prospecting, email sequencing, and CRM live in separate platforms with no shared data layer.
Client reporting eats your week
Pulling per-client rank data across accounts means logging into multiple workspaces and stitching reports by hand.
The fix
One Platform From Rank Data to Outreach
CitationBench tracks daily keyword positions across every client workspace and connects that data directly to link-building campaigns. One keyword triggers SERP scraping, Apollo contact discovery, and 50 personalized outreach drafts via Instantly — all in a single workflow.
Everything Agencies Need Beyond Rank Tracking
From daily position monitoring across client portfolios to automated outreach campaigns, these tools close the loop between data and action.
Core Monitoring
Daily Rank Tracking Across All Client Workspaces
Track keyword positions daily for every client brand in a single platform. Results are scoped per client via the X-Workspace-Id header, bulk rank pulls run across all workspaces simultaneously, and full position history is available via REST, MCP, and dashboard.
- Per-client workspace isolation
- Bulk rank pulls across all clients
- Full keyword position history
Link Building
Turn Rank Data Into Outreach Campaigns
One keyword triggers a full outreach pipeline: SERP scrape, Apollo contact discovery, and 50 personalized link-building email drafts via Instantly in a single POST /v1/link-building/serp-outreach call. Bulk-approve drafts before any email sends.
- 50 outreach drafts per keyword
- Apollo-powered contact discovery
- Bulk-approve before sending
Agency Architecture
Single Dashboard for Every Client Brand
One master API key manages all client workspaces. Every keyword set, campaign, and rank report is isolated per client via X-Workspace-Id while remaining visible in a unified agency view. White-label-ready architecture built for portfolios of 10 to 100 brands.
- One API key for all clients
- Per-client data isolation
- White-label ready
Competitor Intel
Outreach Seeded From Competitor Backlink Profiles
Pull a competitor's backlink profile and automatically seed an outreach campaign targeting sites already linking to them. Uses the same Apollo plus Instantly pipeline as SERP outreach, surfaced via link_building.competitor_outreach.create.
- Backlink-seeded prospect lists
- Same outreach pipeline as SERP
- Automated draft generation
Relationship Tracking
Link Building CRM Across All Campaigns
Track every target domain, contact, and relationship status across active campaigns using link_building.crm.*. Logs emails, replies, and notes so your team always knows where each prospect stands without switching to a separate CRM tool.
- Account and contact tracking
- Full event and reply history
- Campaign-level pipeline view
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.

~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
