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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
