What is Clearscope?

Clearscope is the premium AI-powered content optimisation platform used by SEO teams at companies like Condé Nast, Deloitte, and HubSpot to ensure every piece of content they publish ranks. It analyses the top-ranking pages for any target keyword and produces a detailed content brief — which terms to include, what questions to answer, how long the piece should be, and what grade the content needs to achieve to compete. Writers get a real-time grading panel as they work: the content score updates live as they add relevant terms, helping them hit the brief without keyword stuffing. Clearscope integrates directly with Google Docs and WordPress, so the feedback appears in the tools writers already use. Its position at the premium end of the market reflects its accuracy and the trust of high-volume content operations that can't afford to publish content that doesn't rank.
