One source per figure
You get
Every figure in a draft paired with one source the client can open, or the figure removed.
Why use it
Unsourced numbers make a draft sound generic. If the source cannot be checked, the number does not stay.
Ask when
- cite a source
- check a statistic
- information gain
- is this figure true

Steps
- Every figure, price, date, and named claim in a draft traces to one source the client can open.
- Prefer the client's own data, then the organization that published the number. A roundup that quotes the number is not the source.
- If you cannot find a source, delete the figure. Do not estimate it.
- budgetSEO does not fetch government pages or arbitrary articles. You fetch those yourself.
- Write the source URL next to the sentence that uses it.
Hold back
- A rounded number with no source.
- A citation to a page that only repeats someone else.
BudgetSEO data
Keyword, competitor, and domain figures come from the budgetSEO MCP only. Do not use another SEO data source for those three.
Use saved data first. Those reads are free:
- A keyword already tracked: get_keyword_action_plan, find_quick_wins, or get_rank_changes.
- A competitor already saved: get_competitor_overview.
- AI citation gaps already stored: get_ai_visibility.
A figure that is not already in the account is a new lookup. Tell the user the credit cost and wait for a yes before calling it. A cached result stays free.
- lookup_keywords: keyword ideas from a seed. 6 credits.
- check_keywords: volume, difficulty, and intent for named keywords. 2 credits.
- lookup_domain: organic keywords, estimated traffic, and ranking URLs. 4 credits.
- lookup_backlinks: referring domains and link totals. 3 credits.
research_keywords is a separate paid AI run for idea generation on Starter and Pro. It is not the tool for a single lookup.
Crawl checks, robots.txt, sitemaps, and primary-source fact checks are your own work. budgetSEO cannot fetch an arbitrary page.
A bulk edit, a disavow file, or a URL change waits for a person on the agency side to confirm that package.
