Clearscope Reviews: 4.9/5 — Highly Rated

Unlike other SEO tools, which narrowly focus on keyword volume and meta title/description, Clearscope equips you a 365-degree suite of modern tools to optimize your content quickly and effectively—while accounting for Google's latest algorithm changes. From a powerful keyword search tool, to a responsive editor that accounts for the quality of the body content itself, Clearscope is truly a one-stop shop for everything a content marketer in 2020 needs.

I don't have anything to note here. There aren't any features we dislike at the moment.

We've used Clearscope to better optimize historical content as well as all future content moving forward—the ultimate goal of which is to increase our organic search traffic and rank for top keywords. In just shy of two months, we've seen a 50% increase in organic search traffic.

Clearscope is so easy and intuitive. Onboarding users is painless and will usually get it from the start. Everyone on the team is now using it and has it integrated to Google Docs so that they don't need to leave their normal workflows. The Clearscope team is great and very responsive to any questions.

So far so good. I love the product and recommended it all the time. I'm excited to see how Clearscope keeps growing and what the future of the product holds.

Most SEO tools I use have content optimization and analysis features, but they don't match up to what Clearscope does.

I love Clearscope's straightforward UX, ease-of-use, and day-to-day utility. It's a lightweight-yet-impactful addition to an SEO's toolkit that I've been using for almost a year — and can't imagine working without. Clearscope is useful for everyone ranging from an experienced search pro to a new-to-SEO employee and delivers great value for its relatively low cost. The Clearscope team is on-call and available to answer questions as they arise, which is an often-overlooked feature of an SEO platform.

I don't really have any issues with Clearscope. Integration with content management systems such as Wordpress or Wagtail would be a bonus.

Clearscope has streamlined and unified under one roof the processes of keyword research, content ideation, and content optimization for our in-house SEO team. It has become an invaluable tool for our team, as we don't publish a piece of content that goes untouched by Clearscope.

The interface is really use and I love that I can hand a report to any writer and they are able to "hop in" and learn the ropes without any sort of training.

Try not to sound too robotic by using the words that Clearscope recommends

Clearscope has made the content creation a seamless process where you (a site owner) barely has to be involved and can let the copywriter do all the work.

Clearscope helps us figure out both what content to write AND how to actually write it. Most SEO tools sell snake oil, but Clearscope's is actually based on data from Google itself. In addition, Bernard and the Clearscope team provide incredible customer success.

There's really nothing that I dislike about using Clearscope. It's a best-in-class SEO product.

We are figuring out what content to write and how to go about writing it. Clearscope helps us determine unique section headings, word counts, keywords, etc. It has helped us rank soooooo much better for important head and tail terms.

We started running all our content, as well as upgrading old content, through Clearscope at the beginning of 2019. We've been able to double search traffic from Q1 through the end of Q3 using this approach, plus link building.

I would love a Wordpress add on, which I hear is in Beta. Also, I ran into a few issues with their Google Docs add-on, which has been fixed.

Grow search traffic to around 75,000 to over 150,000 in nine months.

Clearscope systematizes all of the processes that we *used* to do manually in our content research. It's also a godsend for anybody doing client work that isn't a total expert in a given industry.

Right now the product works perfectly for us and is easy to share/explain to others. I have nothing about it that I dislike at this time.

We've been able to do deep competitive content research, as well as content analysis for our own work in a fraction of the time.

Clearscope blends into our content writing process, guiding us in our effort to make the article relevant to the end-user so it ranks at the top of Google search.

I liked Clearscopes tracking! I understand why it's being retired though and that Clearscope's main offering will get even better with laser focus.

Clearscope powers the production of seo-informed content.

Clearscope is so easy to use, and at the same time is the highest impact tool my team uses. We use it to help us structure and craft each and every seo focused blog post. I love that it tells us which keywords are most important and that it gives each piece of content a letter grade so that we know how it stacks up against the SERP. I would never run another content program without it.

There aren't really any downsides to using Clearscope that I can think of.

SEO is such a black box but Clearscope does a great job of make it a little less of a blackbox. It helps us understand what type of content and which topics are currently performing for our target keywords so that we have a fighting chance of publishing a post that will end up on page 1. Our content program is young (less than 1 year old) but we already have a number of posts ranking on page 1 for target keywords - Clearscope has helped us achieve this very fast ranking and growth.

Clearscope is absolutely awesome - it fills the gap that other keyword tools don't have and only humans could do (previously). It shows what topics are covered by similar content to what you're about to write, and is a huuuuge time saver.

It's a semi-young tool so there's always room for improvement! Nothing huge is missing, although could always go for more features!

When we have a keyword we want to write about, but don't know what topics to fully cover, we use Clearscope. It allows us to share a very concrete tool with writers to help craft their content in an SEO-friendly way!

I love how easy Clearscope makes it to find content gaps on a granular level between you and your competitors for any given keyword. This would be prohibitively time-consuming otherwise. That being said, my favorite feature is the content optimization tool. It allows you to easily fill in those gaps while crafting and/or optimizing your content by providing live feedback on your progress. Lastly, the pricing is great for the value you are getting. Similar services are significantly costlier.

That there was no way to integrate it with Google Docs, so as to avoid having to copy-paste the content into Clearscope for analysis. But they're working on making that possible now.

Creating relevant content on a large scale without having to micromanage most of the process. The content optimization tool ensures that your writers don't stray too far from what is expected of them.

So many things: Easily finding out which keywords I didn't include in an article. Using phrases like, "every article we write must be an A++!" Never having to guess if an article should be 1000, 2000, or 3000 words.

As of now, I can't think of anything I dislike.

- Clearscope helps us save time and work more strategically. - Gives us a deeper look into our competitors. - Allows us to create A++ content that drives traffic back to our site.

I've used a lot of SEO tools over the years. They generally feel like they were rushed out, and not designed by someone who ACTUALLY thinks about the way a product might be used on a day-to-day basis. There are other tools that perform a function similar to Clearscope, but nothing else actually integrates into my workflow and does exactly what I need. The data works. We work with a number of well-known B2B SaaS companies and the CS reports make our jobs exponentially easier and have indirectly driven millions of pageviews. My only reservation with writing this review is that more people will start using Clearscope, thereby making every space more competitive.

Wish I had more monthly reports.....but I guess I can pay for them....

- Giving clients contnet recommendations without having to write everything from scratch - getting SEO results

Sounds odd but I have so much fun with Clearscope! I use this tool for work to optimize content, anywhere from 3 to 5 articles per day. This is a game for me, taking our content and having Clearscope do its thing searching relevant articles/subject online FOR ME so I can compare, optimize and get that A++! So satisfying. I am constantly learning with this tool and Clearscope's search for relevant terms and articles are always on point. Great tool!

I'm still thinking about what I dislike about this product...I really can't think of one right now.

Saves time researching for articles/contents to optimize current content.

Clearscope is not bogged down by dozens of fairly useless features like many SEO tools out there. Instead of trying to be the swiss army knife of SEO, Clearscope operates with the precision of a scalpel. It is a very focused tool with a deliberate purpose -- creating content that ranks. Clearscope just makes the whole process of writing content faster and better (from the initial keyword research, outline process, and prepping the final draft).

It would be cool if there was a way to gauge which other types of media would support the content (photo selection, audio, video, etc.), but I'm not sure that's even a thing.

Increasing organic traffic to acquire new leads. Benefits realized: with Clearscope I've been increasing organic traffic and acquiring new leads.

Clearscope makes it easy for writers without SEO experience to consistently produce content that ranks. We used to manually reverse engineer top ranking results using macros and Ahrefs. It was a semi-automated process. But Clearscope has allowed us to fully automate the process and spares us time/headaches : )

Wish the report overview was a little bit easier to find (always forget you need to click the keyword).

We are shifting away from 24-hour news to evergreen informational content. Clearscope is integrated into the workflow of 30+ writers on our team and removes the need for someone to spot-check SEO prior to publishing.

Clearscope makes it easy to quickly identify and layout all the keywords and topics that an SEO-focused piece of content should include. By scanning the top ranking results, it can reverse engineer the type of content that Google is ranking, and thus provide a blueprint for what writers and creators should focus on. This makes it quick and easy to generate the right SEO content at a faster pace.

Clearscope is not a full-fledged SEO tool. It is specifically focused on content optimizations.

Providing our creative team with better guidance when writing SEO copy.

The moment I read about Clearscope I knew this was not just a unique productt but one we had to try. What is does makes extraordinary logical sense, but I did not realize how much sense it made until we started using it. We are now running over 75 content documents a month through it and will soon analyze all our blog posts as well. Clearscope's insights, once implemented, are producing some exceptional results for us. I am in love.

This is a newer product that is really taking off now, which I am thrilled to see. I would like to see new features rolled out faster, but these guys are extremely methodical and I have never seen any new release pushed out that simply did not work as expected. So I really don;t have much to complain about. :)

It is not easy to analyze content for SEO and relevancy, Clearscope solves a lot of the problem, and I am grateful to them for that.

Great UX/UI, easy to use, great for finding relevant subtopics/keywords to include that you might have missed otherwise.

Can't think of anything, it very well built.

I have access to three tools that do similar things as clearscope, but only use it because it seems to be the most accurate and is without a doubt the easiest to use.

Everything! -Clearscope does exactly what it says it does. It's made to help content marketers and writers produce effective content considering all the real-time search data that can help drive results. -Customer support is second to none! Bernard does his best to make sure whoever is using the product understands clearly what it can do and how it can be used for the best results.

None right now! I'd love to see new features that'll also help me get more on-page metrics in the future.

Data-driven content production. Clearscope has helped my content team explore search intent and analyze competition, which would otherwise take hours of work on boring spreadsheets and produce content that is 2x more effective. Effective content audit. Every time I analyze a website and run a site audit, I use Clearscope to see if I need to work on existing content or not. No guess work!

If you want to rank on the first page on Google, then Clearscope should be a no-brainer. The software pulls the keywords you need for a complete piece. You can take the recommended keywords and reverse engineer your content to beat your competitors in any niche.

Nothing. It's a great product and I've had no problems with it.

We are solving the problem of not being on the first page of SERPs. We are moving up the rankings for all the content we have optimized using Clearscope.

Clearscope allows us to ensure we are getting the maximum SEO return on our content investments. Building engaging content that will rank is expensive. If you miss half of the target by not matching query intent you run the risk of falling flat. Clearscope eliminates that risk when used properly.

Minor UC issues related to new content production

We use Clearscope to guide us on the production of new content. It steers is to the biggest wins we can prioritize and ensures we cover all the topics Google Hummingbird will want to see. We also use it for updating and improving existing copy which has resulted in 500% organic traffic improvement. Stunning.

Clearscope's tool is easy to use and efficient in deploying to a CMS.

There's nothing to dislike - it's a great product.

Writing original, unique content that not only improves our users' experiences, but also contributes to significant growth in organic marketing channels.

Clearscope is useful tool in streamlining our content creation process. It automates much of what we previously did manually. Unlike many other content creation tools, Clearscope focuses on topical relationships rather than extracting keywords from text which. While there are a few companies leveraging this kind of technology, Clearscope has a pricing structure better suited for many brands.

I have been happy with clearscope and have no complaints

Clearscope helps us efficiently create content that ranks well.

Clearscope is a clever piece of software which uses several NLP machine learning algorithms to find semantic keywords to improve on-page SEO. Unlike the standard TF-IDF (Term frequency-inverse document frequency) used by other less sophisticated software.

We have to copy paste content into Clearscope for grading manually. If they can implement a way to use a URL to pull and grade content automatically it would be awesome — some WP plugin that can auto-update content after optimisation that would be sweet as well.

With this software, you can use semantic keywords in your pages/articles so giving an opportunity to rank them higher in Google. I've recently set up an experiment, and I was able to push hundreds of articles which were ranking on page 2 to page 1 by grading the content via Clearscope without building any links.

The ease of use. It's well built and intuitive. Clearscope makes content planning and keyword research a breeze. Also, the customer success/support is outstanding - something I believe all companies should try to emulate. Bernard knows his craft - attend his demos!

Nothing. It's great so-far! My favorite tool in the stack.

Creating relevant, quality content that ranks. Clearscope makes it easy to to plan and research keyword topics. One of my favorite features is Optimize, where your content is scored against the competition.

Clearscope is a SaaS solution with absurdly high Founder~Product fit. It works because Bernard (Clearscope Founder) built the technology based on years of in the trenches SEO work and experimentation. Imagine that... a Founder who actually got his hands dirty before trying to build SaaS. He provided us with invaluable 1:1 training, regularly checks-in to see how we're doing with the platform and is one of the more impressive SEO minds I've interacted with.

I haven't found any downsides yet. You get access to Bernard and a great solution.

Clearscope eliminates the guesswork involved with choosing the content opportunity to focus on next. We not only know which keywords will have the greatest impact on our business, but we also know how to address those keywords in a way that completely addresses the topic area. It provides us the scaffolding for every content investment to rank faster and more often.

Clearscope has a great platform that is easy to use. Helps ensure content meets a high standard while hitting the necessary keywords.

Can't say there is anything I dislike at this time.

Clearscope has helped ensure our content hits relevant keywords and topics, while speeding up the content creation process.

I'm excited to see Clearscope here. When Google started using semantic search models, it added new measures for Google to comprehend content. Everyone and their mother does keyword research, and Google needed a better way to really understand the importance and relevance of a document. Most of the SEO tools I've used still only focus on keywords in the old way, and not as search entities in the semantic search model. Clearscope recognized the change and put together a clever way of identifying the gaps between your content and the content that is currently performing better. I've only seen a couple other services do this and they are very expensive. Clearscope has a very favorable price. And still leverages AI.

I have no qualms. There's absolutely nothing I dislike about this.

My whole agency uses it. We generally see a direct improvement in rankings from it. I can't always say that with SEO tools. I've already recommended on a few stages at conference talks.

Clearscope is great tool that expedites our content production efforts. It takes the guesswork out of outlining posts and what sort of topics need to be covered. Also, the support I have received from Clearscope is phenomenal. Super attentive and dedicated.

Nothing so far! I will have to wait to submit any negative features.

Clearscope helps ease our collaboration with contract writers, given super clear standards for what topics need to be covered in our posts.
