From one client brand to a Friday PDF

The weekly artifact is the PDF. The product is the agency workflow around it.

  1. 01

    Add one client brand

    Six fields. CiteBrief writes buyer questions (5 on trial, 20 when paid). No vanity prompts about whether ChatGPT mentioned the brand.

  2. 02

    Check four AI surfaces

    ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Google AI Overviews. Named, recommended, and who won.

  3. 03

    Send the Friday PDF

    White-label cover, scores, next actions. Forward it without rewriting.

For agencies that already sell retainers

Primary buyer is an agency owner, strategy lead, or account director with 5 to 40 clients. Account managers run the workflow. Clients just read the PDF.

  • SEO and content agencies adding AI-search reporting to retainers.
  • PR agencies proving third-party mentions and citations matter.
  • Paid and search agencies defending strategy when buyers ask ChatGPT first.
  • B2B SaaS agencies whose clients care about comparison and shortlist queries.

Not a $29 personal score. Not a GEO optimizer, keyword tracker, or content factory.

Win on the Friday letter, not a client login

Clients read the PDF. Your team uses the Agency command center between Fridays.

  • Cheap trackers

    Your client cannot read a vanity score. They need a Friday letter.

  • Deep platforms

    Your account manager needs a finished report by Friday, plus a clear next-action queue.

  • SEO suite tabs

    AI-search reporting is a client deliverable, not another keyword module.

  • Manual slides

    Stop spending strategist time copying screenshots into decks.

Agency is the weekly reporting system.

$249/mo for 5 brands, weekly Friday reports, white-label, client CC, history, Slack, and 3 seats. The command center answers four questions: are we improving, who is winning, what changed, and what should we do next.
