Earn 10% on referrals
Recommend CitationOne to clients and readers, and we credit you 10% of every order they place. Your referral link is waiting in the app - the program is live on every account from day one.
How it works
Grab your link
Every CitationOne account carries its own referral link - you will find it in the app, in the referral section. It is live from your first sign-in, on every account.
Share it
A blog post, a training session, a newsletter, a recommendation for an agency client. The link opens the sign-in page and your code is remembered on the visitor’s device.
Earn on every payment
Once the person you referred creates an account and buys credits, we credit you 10% of the order value. That covers their later purchases too, not only the first one.
What it adds up to
An audit costs EUR 2, and larger packages go lower. The commission is calculated on the net amount, so typical orders look like this:
Illustrative, rounded figures. The actual commission is calculated on the net value of each order and repeats on every further purchase by the same person.
Program rules
Six things worth knowing before your first referral.
10% on every order
Calculated on the net order value - what remains after tax and after any discount the buyer applied. Commissions are settled in euro.
Commission on repeat orders
Your referral comes back for more credits? A commission is calculated on each of their orders within the accrual period attached to that referral, rather than on the first purchase alone.
Click remembered for 30 days
From the moment someone clicks your link, you have 30 days for them to create an account. First touch wins: a later link from someone else will not replace your code.
The attribution stays with you
Once they sign up, the person is attached to your account - later visits through someone else’s link leave that attribution untouched.
Cash out or take credits
Approved balance can be requested as a payout or exchanged for audit credits you spend yourself. The choice is yours at every settlement.
Transparent history
The app shows your referrals with their status, every commission accrued and the stage it is at. Referral email addresses stay masked.
Who it fits
SEO and content agencies
The audit is part of your offer and the client buys credits on their own account anyway. The commission comes back to the agency on every top-up they make.
Consultants and freelancers
You recommend the tool alongside a project or a content strategy. The client pays for themselves, and you earn on a recommendation you would have made regardless.
Creators and trainers
An AI Search newsletter, a course, a webinar, a tool comparison post. The link in that material keeps working long after publication.
Common questions
Who can join the program?+
Anyone with a CitationOne account. Accounts are free and carry a referral link from day one - taking part in the program starts with creating the account.
What is the commission calculated on?+
The net value of your referral’s order - after tax and after any discount they used at checkout. The rate is 10% and settlement runs in euro.
Do I earn on repeat purchases?+
Yes. A commission is calculated on your referral’s later orders, not only the first one - a single successful referral works across many purchases. The accrual period for each referral is limited, and the current terms sit in the app next to your balance.
What happens when an order is refunded?+
A commission that has not been settled yet is reversed along with the refund. Amounts already paid out or exchanged for credits remain yours.
How do I get the money?+
In the app you request a payout of your approved balance or exchange it for audit credits. Current settlement terms sit next to the balance, along with the full commission history.
Can I refer myself?+
The program covers referrals of other people - your own account stays outside the settlement, and the system recognises such an attempt automatically.
Your referral link is in the app, in the referral section. Creating an account is free, and the first 3 audits come at no charge.
