Frase Alternative with Rank Tracking Built for Agencies
CitationBench is the Frase alternative that unifies content production with daily rank tracking across every client workspace, so your team stops switching tools.
Frase Leaves You Half the Story
Content optimization without rank tracking means you are writing blind and reporting gaps to clients.
Frase does not track rankings
Frase helps you write content but has no daily rank tracking, forcing agencies to bolt on a separate rank monitoring tool.
Rank data lives in another tab
Piecing together Frase, Ahrefs, and AgencyAnalytics means keyword data, content, and position history never share the same screen.
Client reporting takes too long
Without unified rank and content data per workspace, building client reports requires manual exports and reconciliation every single time.
The fix
One Platform. Content Production and Daily Rank Tracking.
CitationBench combines long-form content generation, programmatic landing pages, and daily rank tracking in one platform with per-client workspace isolation, so agencies run content ops and position monitoring without switching tools.
Everything Frase Lacks and More
CitationBench covers every step from research through content production to daily rank monitoring, all scoped per client workspace.
Rank Monitoring
Daily Rank Tracking Across All Client Workspaces
Track keyword positions daily for every client via per-workspace scoping using the X-Workspace-Id header. Pull bulk rank history via REST, MCP tool, or the dashboard. White-label-ready reporting included.
- Daily per-keyword position history
- Bulk pulls across all workspaces
- White-label-ready dashboard
Content Production
Long Form SEO Blog Content at Agency Scale
Generate briefs, drafts, and refined blog posts via produce.blog_post.create or bulk-create from a keyword list. Pair with content refiners to enforce brand voice across every client account automatically.
- Bulk creation from keyword lists
- Brief to draft to refined pipeline
- Section-level regeneration supported
Brand Consistency
Reusable Refiners for Every Client Voice
Configure style, voice, CTA insertion, and competitor removal rules once per agency account via produce.refine.*. They apply automatically across all client workspaces so output stays consistent without manual editing.
- Configure once, apply everywhere
- Competitor name removal built in
- Bulk refiner application supported
Keyword Research
Keyword Discovery That Feeds Rank Tracking Directly
Discover, cluster, and label keyword sets from a seed URL via POST /v1/research/keyword. Keywords persist and flow directly into rank tracking, so research and monitoring share the same dataset without exports.
- Seed URL or list import
- Intent and relevance labeling
- Feeds directly into rank tracking
Agency Architecture
One Account for All Your Client Brands
A single master API key manages every client workspace via X-Workspace-Id scoping. Keywords, content, rank data, and campaigns are fully isolated per client while remaining visible in a unified agency view.
- Single API key for all clients
- Per-client workspace isolation
- Bulk actions across workspaces
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.
