Clearscope
Eric Caldwell
“That’s the great thing about a platform like this, you get real data vs being an island out here and having to read the smoke signals from afar. Yet another reason I’ve dropped all other systems and just have Search Atlas now.”

“Before Content Genius, we were spending hours building briefs, reviewing drafts, and fixing structure. Now it’s all there from the start. We went from publishing 8 articles a month to 25+,
replaced 3 writers, and our quality went up.”

“We’re canceling Ahrefs, Majestic SEO, Semrush, and others. You need to check out this tool.I haven’t seen anything make ranking this easy. If you offer SEO, it cuts 90% of the grunt work.”
“Search Atlas is the number one ranked search engine tool in the world right now! As someone who’s been in SEO for 15 years, I’ve seen everything change. In my experience, other tools on the market are overhyped and overpriced compared to what Search Atlas delivers. If you’re serious about SEO, you won’t find anything better than Search Atlas!”

“So far, very very impressed with Search Atlas and OTTO is big bonus. Honestly blown away, your mindset aligns with mine so I’m all in. I’ve cancelled Semrush which was a huge step for us. But wow you guys are really onto something here. I even told my wife about you. I’ve been very impressed with Search Atlas.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, for most content teams, because Content Genius builds the brief and drafts the article from live SERP results, and Atlas Agent starts that workflow from a plain-language request, whereas the Clearscope Content Grade scores a draft someone else wrote. Teams that rely on the live Content Grade inside Google Docs or Word should test the Search Atlas flow first. Scholar grades each article on 12 dimensions, and Search Atlas starts at $99 per month against $129 for Clearscope Essentials.
Clearscope works inside Google Docs, WordPress, and Microsoft Word, and no publish-to-CMS feature is documented for it. Search Atlas Universal CMS Publishing sends finished articles to a connected CMS. Universal CMS Publishing is included on every Search Atlas plan from $99 per month.
Clearscope Business and Search Atlas Pro both cost $399 per month, billed monthly. Clearscope Business includes unlimited users and 300 tracked queries. Search Atlas Pro adds white-label reporting, OTTO SEO on 4 sites, and LLM Visibility across 6 AI engines. At the entry tier, Search Atlas Starter is $99 and Clearscope Essentials is $129.
Clearscope Query Tracking covers ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, with 50 tracked queries on Essentials and 300 on Business. Search Atlas LLM Visibility gives Starter 1 project on 1 provider with 500 credits, then ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode on Growth and Perplexity, Copilot, and Claude on Pro. A one-time ChatGPT and Gemini snapshot is free in the AI Visibility Checker, with no credit card. Search Atlas Growth includes 100 LLM Visibility queries.
Search Atlas adds deployment, rank tracking, backlink research, site crawling, local SEO, and ads, none of which Clearscope lists on its pricing or product pages.

Site Auditor crawls 50,000 pages a month on Starter.
Export the Clearscope reports and content inventory, then import each article URL into Content Genius or paste the draft into Scholar for a fresh score. The guide to migrating from Clearscope to Search Atlas covers each step. A free 30-minute onboarding session comes with every trial.
