Most marketing audits stop at the score and walk away. ClearGrade exists because that gap left small businesses paying agencies thousands a month for reports they couldn't act on. We score, ship the fix, and prove the lift.
The first ClearGrade audits were free favors for friends running small businesses. A coffee roaster, a yoga studio, a sports rehab clinic. Each had paid an agency at some point. Each had a 60-page PDF in a Google Drive folder, full of "opportunities" and "findings," and no clear answer to one question: what do we do this week.
So we wrote audits that started with the answer. Three quick wins ranked by impact-to-effort, with the exact words to swap in the title tag, the JSON-LD to paste into the head, and the FAQ block that targets the queries the business wasn't getting cited on. The audits worked. The schema shipped. The rankings moved.
Then customers started asking the obvious follow-up: can you keep doing this every week? That became the platform.
We track three pillars of discovery, equal weight: Google search, Google Maps, and AI search (Perplexity, Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Gemini). When a gap shows up, we ship the schema markup or FAQ content that closes it. Then we re-measure to prove the lift.
We don't sell discovery calls. We don't ask for a 12-month contract. We don't tier our pricing by company size. We don't own your domain or your content - everything we ship belongs to you, and you can leave whenever the platform stops earning its keep.
We also don't compete with Semrush. Semrush is a research tool for marketers and agencies. ClearGrade is for the owner-operator who needs to know where they rank, where they're not cited, and what to fix this week. Different audience, different product.
