Special Projects Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Clearscope works" January 29, 2020 5.0 Pros Clearscope helps you develop semantically relevant, search intent driven content quickly. It pulls together a simple report on what to include, typical length and helps you think about how topic clusters should come together. It's been great for internal and external users to create new content. And it's great for refreshing old content, is a great way to protect the traffic you've already earned. Cons The text editor is still a WIP but you can always pull reports into GDocs. Review Source AB Aniket B. Content writer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Arguably the best keyword tool" May 23, 2022 5.0 Clearscope has saved me at least 30 minutes with every article I write. I am extremely happy about its simple yet clever functionality! Pros I have been writing articles on google docs for many years now, and keyword inclusion was a pain. Clearscope's integration with google docs shows a list of keywords on the right, their usage times, examples, etc. You don't need to switch between tabs looking at which keywords you have used and which you haven't. Excellent time-saver. The highlight option is also good, it helps edit without accidentally erasing any keywords Cons There's hardly anything to dislike about Clearscope. I do think it could be faster. Sometimes it takes a while to read through the stuff and even shows an incorrect notification of not connected to the internet Review Source MW Megan W. Marketing Specialist Photography Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "187% increase in page views on our blog " November 17, 2021 5.0 Pros Thanks to Clearscope and their team of content marketing experts, we were able to effortlessly start using a new tool in-house that contributed heavily to our recent success. Since the start of 2021, Clearscope has helped Flytographer reach a 187% increase in page views on our blog compared to 2020. We have ranked for keywords in our niche, appearing on the SERP for more than a handful of search queries targeted through using this software. Being able to produce a simple, collaborative report with all of the keywords and data included that I can easily share with writers AND achieve such high success was beyond my wildest expectations! Cons The only tricky part is figuring out which keywords to target. We have the basic plan, but I believe there is keyword searching abilities with other plans. Review Source EO Elizabeth O. Content Marketing Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clearscope helps us make smarter content" February 4, 2020 5.0 Pros Our team can perform keyword research and try and make good decisions with our SEO content, but Clearscope empowers us to dig deeper and be more strategic about HOW we create content to ensure that we're organically reaching as many eyeballs as possible. Whether it's using the software to illuminate relevant terms or it's actually "grading" drafts of our content pieces to see how competitive they'll be from an SEO standpoint, Clearscope makes us smarter when it comes to content. It's also worth mentioning that the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], is incredibly hands-on during onboarding and provides invaluable information about keyword research/user intent. His personal touch makes all the difference in the world in terms of learning this tool and getting started! Cons I have nothing critical or constructive to say about Clearscope! Review Source Jason C. Content Writer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Power SEO Tool for Optimizing Old and New Content" May 31, 2018 5.0 I've been able to save time and feel more confident that the content I'm producing is highly relevant and optimized for SEO. Pros Clearscope is an extremely effective tool that helps me speed up the writing process and ensures I include relevant and related keywords from the start to produce better content. As a result, it helps the editors I work with save time since I've already used Clearscope to optimize the content before submitting. It's also allowed me to improve existing content on the sites I manage. Plus, the customer service is beyond what you'll get with any other tool-Bernard has been super helpful from day one. Cons The pricing structure was initially, but I think returns will increase as my experience does. It'll be interesting to see what other features they add. Review Source Andrew S. Director Product Marketing Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We started using Clearscope in November 2017 and overall love the tool!" January 31, 2018 5.0 We use the tool to identify content opportunities and to SEO optimize existing web pages. Pros A smart/strategic approach to identifying new content opportunities and for optimizing existing content. We use it for our blog and product descriptions. Clearscope was amazing and onboarding the team and showing us the process and providing the documentation we'd need to successful. Since using it, our blog readership has gone up 50%+ , sales have increased and our search rankings have increase due to the tool. Cons Overall we love the tool - they continue to add new features and functionality which is amazing. Only potential drawback is you can only create 100 reports a month, but we use the tool A LOT and still haven't maximized our limit. Review Source Brendan H. SEO Director Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic value" December 18, 2019 5.0 Pros I love that you aren't locked into a contract and this scores exactly what we need to do to rank content in search, as well as give us a competitive analysis not just of other websites, but on a per-article basis. Cons It isn't valuable ongoing if you don't create a ton of content, however, you aren't locked into a contract, which is nice. Review Source SK Scott K. President Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clearscope Is an Amazing Tool Built by Amazing People " May 20, 2019 5.0 Pros My company produces a significant amount of content, all of which is written to drive and convert visitors from search engines. Clearscope helps ensure that our writers know what topics should be covered inside each article. It is an excellent addition to our highly structured content production process. Cons There is nothing I dislike about Clearscope. Review Source Pascal C. Director of SEO Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome product and very caring team behind it." March 28, 2018 5.0 Pros \- Has a tremendous amount of SEO-oriented features available. - Is available in multiple different languages (we tried French and English) - Their team is very responsive and flexible in terms of specific demands - Setup is incredibly easy and the tool can be used in seconds after purchasing a license - The tool itself works very fast and is already providing results to some of our clients - More and more features are added, based on client feedback Cons \- The pricing structure is somewhat strict at first and may seem expensive for inexperienced SEOs, but works like a charm once correctly understood Review Source Jason B. SEO Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clearscope Makes Content Marketing Easier" January 31, 2020 5.0 Integrating SEO into Content Marketing efforts seamlessly. Pros Clearscope has been a great asset for your team and especially writers. The sharable links + GDoc integration allows them to not go outside of their usual workflow, but still, keep SEO top of mind. The platform is fast and very user-friendly. Cons Most of my needs/wants apparently are on the roadmap so dislikes really. The team has been awesome at handling communications. Review Source Joe R. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Critical Software for Content Creators and SEO" October 9, 2019 5.0 Great from start to finish, a solid part of the workflow. Pros Super easy to use, just straight up intuitive. I share this with my writing team and they love using it for the instant feedback and reassurance. The Clearscope team, our rep especially, is super helpful in onboarding and making sure the experience is delightful. Cons Nothing to complain about! As an SEO I always want more data, but the team seems to be making progress on that front and are rapidly rolling out new features. Reason for choosing Clearscope They serve complementary purposes, Clearscope solved a more painful need. Review Source NE Nat E. Founder Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Game Changer for Optimizing Content for SEO" February 21, 2018 5.0 Pros It makes it super easy to work with freelancers to make sure that you're creating articles that have a good potential to rank for their target keywords. Creating article outlines from Clearscope reports has made it simple for us to be sure that we're doing good optimizations on old content, and creating great new content. Cons The price per report feels high. I understand that it's complicated technology, but I think most businesses would have a hard time justifying the price point for SEO software that limits their use this much. It's ROI positive for us, though. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "No brainer must have for anyone interested in content marketing and SEO" February 1, 2018 5.0 Pros Very easy to use and delivers results very fast. Whenever we're creating a cornerstone piece of content and need to make sure we have our SEO on-point, then Clearscope is a must use for our team. We consistently get high page 1 rankings for our targeted keywords. I don't think it's an accident we went from 70 #1 ranks to 140 so quickly. Review Source Ranjit J. Co-Founder & Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Removes the guesswork behind content performance!" February 27, 2018 5.0 I believe this is a must-have tool for any company who invests in content at any reasonable cadence (eg. 1 blog post per week). Pros I can finally get data-driven visibility into the content that my outsourced writing team creates. This has allowed us to scale content effectively, and take the top spots on Google for a variety of keywords that has driven good revenue for our business. All this has happened, despite our web property being relatively new (<1 year old). Review Source Pat A. Partner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A go-to software for any large content marketing team" May 31, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to use and extremely effective - Clearscope is a remarkably effective tool to help content marketers to optimize their blog content for SEO (particularly from a semantic search perspective) Cons As great as this software is, the monthly fees are very high. This certainly holds back smaller marketing teams from signing up. However, those who can afford the software will quickly see a positive ROI for this investment Review Source VR Verified Reviewer President & Chairman Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clearscope is a tool that helps SEOs compare ranking competitors' common content with yours." February 28, 2018 4.0 More efficiency in my work processes Pros It's a tool built by and for SEOs. They were in the SEO field before taking what they knew and deciding to build a tool around their processes to sell to other SEOs. This experience and knowledge of what SEOs wants shows within their product as a result that often the larger enterprise tools don't have. Cons It's still fairly early in its development (given the small size of the company), and would love more features around account management and tie-ins to common CMS's to help automate more of the process with companies/clients. Review Source Cory A. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Essential piece to our content production process" December 7, 2018 5.0 Clearscope has been a very valuable tool for us and our content production. As well their support is excellent. Helping you to use the most out of the tool and get the results you want. Pros When working with contract writers this tool takes the guesswork out of what they need to write and what topics they need to cover. Cons Don't have anything negative to report on the software at the moment! Review Source Jenny M. Freelance Copywriter Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for SEO, not so great for UX" July 20, 2018 4.0 I was able to give a highly seo-optimized post to a client who swears by clearscope. Pros It lists all the relevant keywords and makes sure you're making your post the most SEO-friendly possible. It has a no-frills text editor and is easy to use. Cons \- It could take a page from the Hemingwayapp and highlight which sentences are affecting the reading level grade. - Some keywords aren't relevant to the post you're writing but it's pretty merciless and won't give you a good grade until you include them. I was writing a post about "teamwork software" and Clearscope insisted I include the names of competitors (which the client explicitly said not to) and terms like "teamworkpm" which just make no sense. Review Source LB Lauren B. Growth Marketing Team Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My favorite tool in my growth toolkit" June 6, 2019 5.0 Clearscope is inexpensive, especially in light of the value it delivers to our team in terms of SERP rankings and relevant traffic growth that we can turn into ARR. It makes running our SEO focused content program so much easier and clearer. SEO is such a black box and this tool helps demystify it a bit. Pros I wouldn't run a content program without Clearscope - it is the most essential tool my team uses. I love that it helps us structure our SEO blog posts and that it analyzes our content, gives it a grade and makes suggestions for keywords to help it rank. Cons There's nothing I can think of that I don't like about Clearscope. It's a very simple and straightforward tool to use and delivers big value. Review Source BB Brendan B. Global SEO Lead Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and very actionable!" July 13, 2018 5.0 Pros Intuitive right out of the box. From running reports to modifying your content, it's really simple to use and the insights are easy to put into action. I've seen other tools attempt this type of analysis before, but it's either too convoluted or sloppily made. Clearscope has it dialed in definitely a tool you want in your SEO arsenal. Cons It's still a relatively new software, so obviously there is still more to build. The silver lining to this is that the team at Clearscope is very responsive and very open to feedback, so whenever I've requested something or reported a bug, they've responded and addressed the concern right away. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Personal Finance Blogger Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good tool for optimizing blog posts for SEO" October 31, 2022 5.0 I like Clearscope for optimizing blog posts. It's relatively straightforward and easy to use. My only complaint is that the price is higher than some alternatives. Pros I like that Clearscope offers a WordPress plugin and Google Docs extension. Also, I like that it's easy to share a link so you can easily use Clearscope with freelancers or team members who aren't logged in to the account. Cons I feel the pricing is higher than some competitors. Review Source JB Jamal B. Director of Performance Marketing Publishing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Must Have for Evergreen Content Team" May 1, 2019 5.0 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. Pros 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 : ) Cons Wish the report overview was a little bit easier to find (always forget you need to click the keyword). Review Source Bill S. Founder / Partner / SEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Clever and actionable SEO tool" December 10, 2018 5.0 Super simple interface, very fast. Gives actionable search entities to use in your copy. This was a great find for our workflow. Pros It automates a lot of competitive research. Cons Really nothing. Everything is done very well. Review Source Nneka O. Freelance Content Writer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Content Optimization for Big Teams" July 31, 2021 5.0 It is a good content optimization software but it's too expensive. Pros It is easy to use. The interface is simple and intuitive. Their competitor analysis is excellent. And I like their content grading functionality. Cons Their keyword tool is very basic. And It is really expensive. Pricing starts from $170 for 20 content optimization. This is way more than I need and I can't justify the cost. Review Source Morgan B. Digital Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Exceptional Content Planner" October 23, 2019 5.0 It's helped our agency improve our content quality and output incredibly. Pros It's easy to use and has been super helpful for us to give writers a framework to to work with when it's time to create content for the internet. Initial set up and training from the company were also incredible helpful. Cons I can see some people use it as just another tool to keyword stuff content, so without an idea on how to examine competitor content and know what info Google wants to show people, it is not as useful of a tool.
