Become a CitationLab Founding Partner
We are putting together the first group of partners who will deliver AI visibility with us — agencies, consultancies and technology partners who want to answer the question their clients have already started asking: why does the AI recommend someone else?
In short
A founding partner gets in before the programme is fixed in place: founding terms, a direct line to the people building the platform, and real influence on what we build next. In return we expect a partner who actually delivers — who brings clients into the platform and works with us on the method, not just a logo on a page.
01Founding Partner
What you get as a founding partner
Six things the founding cohort gets that later partners will not.
- 01
Founding terms
Partner terms set at founding level and kept for as long as the partnership runs, including on modules that ship later.
- 02
Early access
New modules in CitationLab AI Marketing Manager reach founding partners first, while the shape of them is still open.
- 03
A say in the roadmap
A direct line to the team building the platform. What founding partners run into in real client work is what gets prioritised.
- 04
Co-selling, not competition
We do not take the client relationship, and we join you on larger deals rather than bidding against you. Referrals we can pass on are upside — not a pipeline to plan around.
- 05
Hands-on onboarding
We set up your first client accounts with you, and train your team on the method until you can run it without us.
- 06
White-label portal
Reports, dashboards and client portals under your own brand through the partner portal — your relationship stays yours.

Who we are looking for
The cohort is small on purpose. We would rather work closely with a few partners than lightly with many.
- Marketing, SEO or content agencies who already own the client relationship and want AI visibility as a capability rather than a side project.
- Consultancies and independent specialists with deep client trust and the appetite to work a new method properly.
- Web and technology partners who build and run the sites where AI visibility is either won or lost.
- In-house teams who want to be a reference case for their industry.

First client live
We take your first client through an AI visibility analysis together, so the method is learned on real work.

Questions about the programme
What partners ask us before they apply.
There is no fee to join the programme. Founding partners get partner terms on the platform licences their clients use, agreed in the onboarding conversation and kept for as long as the partnership runs. We go through the numbers with you before anything is signed.
No. Most of our partners come from SEO, content or performance marketing and learn the method with us. What matters is that you own client relationships and are willing to work the method properly — we bring the training, the platform and the measurement.
Deliberately few. The founding cohort is small enough that we can onboard every partner hands-on and take their first client through an analysis together. When it is full, later partners join on standard terms.
No. The client relationship stays yours, and the reporting can carry your brand through the white-label portal. When an enquiry in your market fits a partner better than us, we pass it on — but treat that as upside rather than as a reason to join, because we will not promise a volume we cannot predict.
Your application lands directly with our partner team. We read it, and you hear back from a person — a short intro call if it looks like a fit, or a clear no if it does not.
