Clearscope is an AI-driven content optimization platform designed to help content marketers, SEO professionals, and editorial teams create high-ranking search content. It uses natural language processing to analyze top-performing pages for a target keyword and generates a comprehensive content grade and recommended terms to include. Writers receive real-time feedback as they draft in the editor or via integrations with Google Docs and WordPress. Clearscope produces detailed content reports with relevance scores, word count targets, and readability insights, making it easy to optimize new and existing pages. Its key differentiator is simplicity—the interface is intuitive enough for writers without SEO expertise to produce search-optimized content. Trusted by brands like HubSpot, Shopify, and Condé Nast, Clearscope bridges the gap between editorial quality and SEO performance for enterprise content teams.
