ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are answering your clients' target queries without citing them, and you have no data to prove it or fix it.
Boards and clients are asking about AI search presence. Without citation data, your team is answering with assumptions instead of evidence.
Ahrefs, Surfer, and AgencyAnalytics track traditional rankings but none measure AI citation share of voice or help you act on it.
The fix
CitationBench tracks brand citations in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity via research.ai_citation.check and research.ai_citation.share_of_voice alongside daily rank tracking — all scoped per client through a single multi-workspace architecture.
Five capabilities spanning AI citation monitoring, rank tracking, competitive research, content gap analysis, and multi-client management in one platform.
GEO Monitoring
Monitor brand citations in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for any target query. Research.ai_citation.share_of_voice returns historical citation trajectory and share-of-voice per engine, updated daily across all client workspaces.
SEO Monitoring
Track keyword positions daily across all client workspaces from a single dashboard. Results are scoped per client via X-Workspace-Id, giving you unified SEO and GEO reporting without switching tools.
Competitive Research
Pull competitor backlink profiles and keyword universes via research.competitor.backlinks and research.competitor.keywords. Understand which competitors are winning AI citations so you can close the gap.
Content Strategy
Surface content gaps against competitor content and target keywords via research.content_gap.find. Identify which missing topics are costing your clients citations in AI-generated answers.
Agency Architecture
One master API key manages all client workspaces. All citation data, rank tracking, and content is isolated per client via the X-Workspace-Id header, with bulk actions and white-label-ready reporting.
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.
