SEO Automation Platform for Modern Agencies
CitationBench is the SEO automation platform that unifies research, content production, link-building, and indexing into a single agentic workflow built for agencies managing 10 to 100 client brands.
Stitching Tools Together Is Killing Margins
Disjointed stacks slow onboarding, fragment reporting, and leave your team doing manually what should run automatically.
Six tools and nothing connects
Ahrefs, Surfer, Apollo, Instantly, AgencyAnalytics each hold a fragment of your workflow with no shared memory or automation between them.
New client onboarding takes weeks
Every new brand requires manually bootstrapping keywords, ICPs, briefs, and outreach from scratch across disconnected tools.
Reporting never shows the full picture
Traditional rank trackers miss AI search entirely, so when clients ask about ChatGPT or Perplexity visibility you have no answer.
The fix
One Platform. End to End SEO Ops.
CitationBench composes research, content production, publishing, indexing, link-building, and AI citation tracking into auditable agentic workflows. Bootstrap a new brand in 20 minutes and run daily ops across every client workspace from a single platform.
Every SEO Workflow in One Automated Platform
CitationBench covers the full agency ops stack from first keyword discovery through outreach and rank measurement for every client you manage.
Agentic Automation
Automate Full SEO Workflows Per Client
Trigger any named agent via POST /v1/agent/invoke with structured input. Agents compose research, production, and distribution tools into end-to-end jobs that pause for human approval before any sensitive action.
- 20-minute brand bootstrap
- Approval gates per step
- SSE streaming job events
Agency Architecture
Manage Every Client From One Account
One master API key manages N client workspaces. Every keyword list, content campaign, and link-building pipeline is isolated per client via the X-Workspace-Id header while staying visible in a unified agency dashboard.
- Single API key for all clients
- X-Workspace-Id scoped isolation
- Bulk actions across workspaces
Link Building
Turn One Keyword Into 50 Outreach Drafts
A single POST /v1/link-building/serp-outreach call scrapes the SERP, discovers contacts via Apollo, and generates 50 personalized email drafts via Instantly. Bulk-approve all drafts before any email leaves the platform.
- SERP to Apollo to Instantly
- Bulk-approve before sending
- Pause and resume campaigns
GEO Measurement
Track Brand Visibility in AI Search
Monitor brand citations across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for any target query using research.ai_citation.check and research.ai_citation.share_of_voice. Deliver AI search reporting alongside traditional rank data in one unified view.
- ChatGPT Claude Perplexity tracking
- Share of voice history
- Daily query scheduling
Compliance Control
Human Approval Gates at Every Step
Any agent job can emit awaiting_approval and halt until a human reviews the output. Approve or reject via the dashboard or POST /v1/agent/invocations/{id}/approve. Every decision is logged for full auditability.
- Pause at any agent step
- Full audit trail logged
- Approve via dashboard or API
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.
