SEO Operating System for Agencies and Teams
CitationBench is the unified SEO operating system that runs your entire organic workflow — research, content, publishing, indexing, link-building, and AI citation tracking — in one platform.
Fragmented Tools Break Agency Operations
Juggling six separate tools across dozens of client brands creates gaps, delays, and invisible blind spots.
Clients invisible to AI search
Ahrefs and Surfer track Google ranks but report nothing about ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity citations.
Onboarding drains team capacity
Setting up a new client brand across Ahrefs, Surfer, Apollo, and AgencyAnalytics separately burns days, not hours.
No single source of truth
Keyword data, content drafts, outreach campaigns, and rank reports live in six different tools with no shared context.
The fix
One platform. Every SEO workflow covered.
CitationBench composes research, content production, publishing, indexing, link-building, and AI citation monitoring into a single SEO operating system. Bootstrap a new brand in 20 minutes and run daily ops across every client from one workspace.
Everything Your SEO Operating System Needs
Five pillars cover the full agency workflow — from keyword research and content production to link-building campaigns and AI search visibility.
Agency Architecture
One Account for All Client Brands
Manage every client brand from a single master API key. All calls scoped per client via the X-Workspace-Id header with full isolation for keywords, content, campaigns, and settings.
- Single master API key
- Per-client workspace isolation
- White-label ready
Research
Keyword Universe Built at Scale
POST /v1/research/keyword discovers, clusters, and labels keyword sets from a seed URL. Results persist for downstream content production, keeping your entire operating workflow connected.
- Seed URL to keyword universe
- 2D intent and relevance labels
- Bulk import supported
Content Production
Long Form SEO Content Across Every Client
Generate long-form SEO blog posts at scale via produce.blog_post.create and apply reusable content refiners to enforce brand voice consistently across all client workspaces.
- Brief to draft pipeline
- Bulk creation from keyword lists
- Section-level regeneration
Link Building
One Keyword to 50 Outreach Drafts
POST /v1/link-building/serp-outreach turns a single keyword into a SERP scrape, Apollo contact discovery, and 50 personalized email drafts via Instantly — all in one API call.
- Apollo contact discovery
- Instantly email integration
- Bulk draft approval
GEO Monitoring
Track AI Citations Across Every Client
Monitor brand citations in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for every client workspace via research.ai_citation.check and research.ai_citation.share_of_voice with daily query scheduling.
- ChatGPT Claude Perplexity coverage
- Share of voice history
- Daily scheduled monitoring
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.
