Clearscope: marks competing pages and drafts options

Clearscope describes searcher intent, proposes a mark per page and drafts the options. You check and decide.

  1. You

    Collect inputs

  2. Clearscope

    Analyse and draft options

  3. You

    Check and decide

  1. Have ready: export, excerpts and inventory

    Use: You

    Collect the query-to-page performance export, page excerpts and dated canonical inventory. Note each item's source ID and date.

    Check

    Check each item is present, dated and permitted for this campaign; list anything missing as still to confirm.

  2. Analyse queries, mark pages, draft options

    Use: Clearscope

    Ask Clearscope to analyse each shared query, propose preserve, differentiate or merge per page with reasons, and draft one option per page.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Run intent analysis for each listed query and report what it says about the searcher need. Do not compare pages or change anything. For each page, compare the intent notes with the page excerpt and its export rows and propose preserve, differentiate or merge with the reason. Do not change any page. From the checked overlap table, draft one consolidation option per page with its rationale, and list redirect or technical work as separate unexecuted review tasks. Do not change any page.

  3. Check the marks and options, then decide

    Use: You

    Read the draft with the open questions and decide whether it is ready; approval and any later execution are separate decisions.

    Check

    Check each note, mark and option against the excerpts and export rows; keep disagreements and open questions visible.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.

Tools in this workflow

Final check

Each option preserves the distinct useful intent of a page.

Redirect or technical work is written as separate unexecuted review tasks.

Page IDs, dates and measurement caveats stay beside each row.

Check the result against your original inputs. Approve it before sharing or acting.

What still needs checking
  • Which query-to-page export period is valid for comparison is for the Search strategist to confirm.
