Yes. No credit card. The first 3 quick wins are yours whether you upgrade or not. The audit is our best demonstration of what the platform does, so we don't gate it.
The platform works for any size, but the dashboards are intentionally simple. If you need 50-metric agency reporting, you want Semrush. If you want to know where you rank, where you're not cited, and what to fix this week, ClearGrade fits regardless of headcount.
Because it should be. The audit is automated and vertical-specific. We're not gating expertise behind a $2,500 agency engagement. The audit is what convinces you to upgrade to the platform - the price is calibrated for that conversion.
Free is fast and shallow: 6-dimension score + top 3 quick wins. $49.99 is deep: full marketing + SEO + competitor reports, before/after per dimension, 5 quick wins + 5-7 strategic recommendations, executive PDF, and a 30-minute call with David.
Yes. If the audit doesn't meet expectations, email within 30 days for a full refund. The platform is month-to-month so refunds don't really come up - just cancel.
6-dimension audit, 24-hour turnaround. Top 3 quick wins ranked. No credit card.
