Clearscope

Clearscope is the AI-powered SEO and content optimization platform purpose-built for content marketing teams that need to produce search-optimized content at scale, with capabilities now expanded to include AI search visibility (tracking how content performs in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI search results) alongside traditional Google SEO. Founded in 2016, Clearscope has grown into a leading content optimization brand with particular strength among content marketers, SEO agencies, and brands focused on organic search as a primary acquisition channel. Pricing is transparent and tiered with no contracts: Essentials at $129/month covers 20 tracked topics, 50 pages, 20 monthly topic explorations, and 20 monthly drafts — accessible for individual content marketers and small teams. Business at $399/month covers 50 tracked topics, 300 pages, 50 monthly topic explorations, 20 monthly drafts, and dedicated account manager — designed for productive content teams. Enterprise tier is custom-priced with custom credits, custom analytics, and SSO, for businesses producing content at scale. Clearscope's differentiation versus Surfer SEO, MarketMuse, and Semrush AI is the content-first design philosophy combined with high-quality data: rather than positioning as a comprehensive SEO platform (Semrush pattern) or focusing primarily on technical SEO, Clearscope is purpose-built for content optimization with grade-based scoring that gives content writers clear signals on what to add, modify, or remove to improve search performance. The platform is widely regarded as having the highest data quality and most actionable recommendations in the content optimization category, justifying premium pricing. Clearscope capabilities include content brief generation, real-time content optimization scoring as you write, AI search visibility tracking (how content appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.), keyword research, topic exploration, and integration with Google Docs, WordPress, and major content management systems. The platform serves content marketing teams, SEO agencies, and enterprise brands focused on content-led growth. Clearscope operates under SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance.
