About Clearscope

Clearscope analyses the pages that rank for a search query and turns that into a content report: related terms to cover, questions to answer, a suggested length and a letter grade that updates as you write. Writers can work inside its editor, Google Docs or WordPress, and teams can monitor published pages for content decay and track how pages perform in search and AI answers. It is known for a clean interface and for being easy to hand to freelance writers, which makes it popular with content marketing teams at software and media companies. Plans are monthly with no contracts, based on tracked queries, pages and drafts, and there is a 14-day free trial. It is pricier than some rivals for small users and does less keyword research and site auditing than broader tools, so it is usually paired with a full SEO suite. It runs in the browser.

Best for: Content teams and editors who want simple, reliable content grading.
