Too Little Output.
Fragmented SEO stacks slow agencies down and leave critical gaps across research, publishing, and link building.
Clients Onboard Too Slowly
Stitching together Ahrefs, Surfer, and Apollo for each new client consumes days your team does not have.
Publishing Has No Feedback Loop
Content goes live and sits un-indexed for weeks because no tool closes the loop from publish to search engine.
AI Search Is a Blind Spot
Your clients are asking whether they appear in ChatGPT and Perplexity. Your current stack has no answer.
The fix
One Platform. Every SEO Workflow Automated.
CitationBench composes research, content production, publishing, indexing, and link building into durable agentic workflows — with human approval gates at every sensitive step. Run the full cycle for every client from a single platform.
Every Tool Your Agency Needs in One Place
Five core capabilities cover the complete SEO automation workflow from first keyword to indexed page to live link campaign.
Agentic Ops
Automate Full SEO Ops End to End
Run named agents via POST /v1/agent/invoke to execute research, production, and distribution in sequence. Agents pause for human approval at any configured step and resume exactly where they stopped.
- Bootstrap a brand in 20 minutes
- Approval gates at sensitive steps
- Real-time SSE event streaming
Agency Architecture
Manage Every Client From One API Key
A single master API key manages all client workspaces. Every keyword, campaign, and content asset is scoped per client via the X-Workspace-Id header with full isolation and unified reporting.
- Per-client workspace isolation
- Bulk actions across all clients
- White-label ready
Research
Build a Keyword Universe for Every Client
POST /v1/research/keyword discovers, clusters, and labels keyword sets automatically. Results persist for content generation and rank tracking, eliminating manual keyword-to-brief handoffs.
- Seed from URL or keyword list
- 2D intent and relevance labels
- Persisted for downstream production
Link Building
Turn One Keyword Into 50 Outreach Drafts
One POST /v1/link-building/serp-outreach call scrapes the SERP, discovers contacts via Apollo, and generates 50 personalized Instantly email drafts. Bulk-approve before any email sends.
- SERP scrape to Apollo contacts
- 50 personalized drafts per keyword
- Bulk-approve before sending
Publishing
Auto Index Every Page on Publish
Every produce.publish call automatically fires Google Search Console URL submission and IndexNow in parallel. No page is left un-indexed and no manual step is required after content goes live.
- GSC submission on every publish
- IndexNow fires simultaneously
- No manual indexing step ever
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.
