# Distribb — AI SEO platform that researches keywords, writes and publishes articles, builds backlinks and tracks AI citations. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/distribb (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-09-02 Distribb is an SEO automation platform that researches buyer-intent keywords, writes long-form articles and publishes them to a connected CMS. It also runs a backlink exchange between member businesses and drafts link-outreach pitches, with an agent that carries out the work from plain-English requests. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://distribb.io | | Price | from $97/month billed monthly, $58/month billed annually | | Free trial | Yes | 3-day free trial on both published plans ("3-day free trial. Cancel anytime."), with no separate free plan on the pricing cards. The API docs record a former Free Agentic plan as "deprecated and no longer offered to new users"; on those legacy accounts keyword research returns HTTP 402 until the user supplies their own DataForSEO or Ahrefs key, and suggestion regeneration is "Paid plans only (402 on free)". ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — A dedicated AI-visibility pane, mirrored by an API endpoint, reports how often the brand is cited across AI answer engines, its share of voice and its tracked prompts. > Read AI-visibility data for a project: how often it is cited across AI answer engines, its share of voice, and tracked prompts. > — https://distribb.io/api-docs · GET /ai-visibility, endpoint description **Optimises your content** · Yes — A weekly Search Console scan flags underperforming pages (Distribb's own articles and any other ranking page) and proposes a rewrite.
