Agent for hire · All agents
Citation + Link-Build Agent
Maintains NAP consistency across 50-200 directories and runs governed local link outreach under hard volume caps.
Hire the most operationally external agent in the swarm — its outputs land on properties you do not own. Two functions: citation maintenance (NAP across Yext / BrightLocal / Whitespark) and proactive local link outreach under a strict five-touches-per-location-per-month cap.

How pricing works
Pricing is scoped to your operation in a 30-minute consultation — how many locations, which integrations, what context tuning we do at onboarding. After the call you receive a private checkout link with a fixed monthly number.
Two paths to running this agent
Self-host with the free deployment guide and run your own instance, or rent the hosted agent and skip the build entirely. The skill library is the same either way — the rental ships with hosting, maintenance, and context-tuning included.

DFY — rental
Rent the hosted agent
We host the runtime, maintain the skill library, and tune the agent to your context at onboarding. You pay a monthly fee. No bespoke customization — new skills go through the shared backlog.

What this agent owns
NAP consistency across every connected directory (50-200 typical), the citation-vendor wrappers, and the local link-build outreach queue. Subscribes to the master record for NAP-relevant changes. Operates under a hard outreach volume cap because mass outreach destroys local-community brand reputation faster than it builds links.
Install it where your team already works
The agent listens for inbound requests from any of these surfaces and acts inside its skill boundary.

Example asks
- Master-record NAP change → 3-stage approval gate → propagate to all directories
- "@citations how many local link touches do we have left for Denver this month?" (Slack)
- Weekly NAP-consistency audit across all directories
- "@citations queue outreach to the new Austin neighborhood blogs" (Teams)
Skill library
Every skill in the rental package. Status reflects current development state — early-adopter subscribers influence which backlog skills move into development next.
In development
- In development
Audits and propagates Name / Address / Phone consistency across 50-200 directories through Yext / BrightLocal / Whitespark.
DIY walkthrough: /howto/citation-architecture-deployment
- In development
Routes every NAP change through a 3-stage approval gate before propagation; a single typo across 150 directories is weeks of cleanup.
- In development
Runs governed outreach to neighborhood directories, local blogs, and community organizations under a hard 5-touches-per-location-per-month cap.
- In development
Outreach volume-cap enforcement
Tracks every outreach touch per location and refuses to exceed the configured per-location-per-month cap.
- In development
Per-jurisdiction compliance overlay
At regulated multi-state operators, re-runs per-jurisdiction overlays before propagating citation data.
- In development
Reads the operator's master record (addresses, hours, services, manager bios, license status) and triggers downstream actions on change.

- In development
Per-vertical compliance overlay enforcement
Loads HIPAA / FTC ad-substantiation / state cannabis / financial-services overlays at runtime and gates every output through the relevant rule set.

Backlog — subscribers prioritize one at a time
These skills are mapped from the 248-loop SKU research backlog. We build one at a time, in sequence, with active subscribers voting on which goes next. One skill per quarter is included in the base rental; subscribers can request more through a separate skill-accelerator add-on.
- Backlog · subscriber-prioritized
Syncs structured location data across owned + earned + paid surfaces with single-source guarantees.
