Clearscope vs. Moz Pro

Clearscope shines if you're using freelance writers or even just need a way to easily keyword optimize long-form content. While it can be used for marketing pages, I've found it does best with longer-form blog content in the hands of writers. So, if you have inexperienced writers or those less savvy/comfortable about SEO optimization, I'd recommend only using it for blogs. articles or other long-form content. Have some SEO experience under your belt? Use it for EVERYTHING that needs keyword optimization and is over 300 words. It'll help give you ideas and give you a better idea of how to work in that semantic SEO.

Moz Pro is best if you are an absolute beginner with SEO and need tools that are easy to use. It is designed more so for the blogger and not necessarily for the SEO professional. If I were them I would totally market that angle better. It just makes sense.

• Helps produce relevant and engaging content.
• Integration with WordPress through an easy to use plugin.
• Deliver data-driven results.
• The content rating system makes it easy to understand how your content is performing now based on your specific keywords.

• Keyword rank tracking is on-point. You can easily tag on competitors and get ranks for them as well, which rules.
• Moz has a great section for links—I especially use the Discovered and Lost reporting, which lists new domains linking to your site, and domains that dropped out, plus a DA for each. Clients eat this stuff up.
• SERP Features is great as well—this is another thing that clients are thrilled to see: examples of keywords where fun SERP features appear. It's sort of a little thing, but the ease which Moz makes it available is great—the optics on this kind of thing to clients is outstanding.

• Cost is a little prohibitive for small teams/businesses.
• Running reports could be more intuitive. Some users have run them incorrectly, costing credits (which Clearscope has been kind enough to refund).

Incentivized

• Backlink database is limited
• Industry specific jargons and mentions would be helpful
• Error tracking is very misleading
• Duplicate pages marking each page even when it’s not duplicate. In other words this algorithm is too sensitive. Provide ability or control to user to set the sensitivity of the duplicate page check

We've been paying monthly for Moz for at least four years. We rely heavily on it for our daily work, and would need to re-engineer many of our processes if we were to cancel our subscription. I suspect we'll continue to use Moz as long as we are in business (assuming they maintain their quality).

it's easy to use once you get the hang of it and most people with any sort of background in using online tools and analytics systems can figure it out. it's just not as intuitive as it could be like google webmaster tools or Adobe (Site Catalyst)

Every time I've ever needed it, it's been there.

I have not had a ton of interaction with the support team. Mostly asking questions where I cannot find the answer or where the data did not quite make sense. I always use their easy to access chat feature to talk to support. They are very responsive and very well informed and can usually solve my issue with just one chat session.

They're all similar but different. We use Frase and MarketMuse during other parts of our content creation process. I have used Surfer when clients supply reports and think it's also a solid tool. But nothing beats Clearscope when it comes to content optimization as you finish drafting.

gShift has better customer service and consulting to get your SEO strategy off the group, but is limited in its scope and depth of analytics. Ahrefs, Semrush, and Moz are very comparable in their approaches, just with different levels of focus on keyword tracking, backlinks, competitor analysis, and site audits.

• Clearscope makes it easy to understand how your content is performing now based on your specific keywords.
• I can save reports so that I can evaluate the use of the platform by team members and use scores for content writing.

• Here I can easily find competitor's ranking keywords and their backlinks. It also gives you another exciting feature where you can compare two domains at the same time.
• The thing that I don't like about this software is, that sometimes your page can take too much time for crawling.
