Is there really no plugin to install?
Correct. ClearDesk SEO connects to WordPress via the REST API using your existing credentials. Nothing gets installed on your site — which means zero performance impact, no plugin conflicts, and no extra attack surface. If you can log in to WordPress, you can use ClearDesk.
How is this different from Ahrefs or Semrush?
Those are competitor-research and keyword tools. ClearDesk SEO is a technical + content quality tool built specifically for WordPress site owners who want to fix what's broken on their own site. We're not trying to replace them — we play well alongside.
What does "Google Content Scoring" actually measure?
Every page on your site gets scored against criteria from Google's Search Quality Rater Guidelines — the same document Google's human raters use. We measure Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust, YMYL risk, spam signals, and 58 other quality markers. No vanity metrics.
You flag AI content as spam — and you sell AI drafts. How is that not hypocrisy?
Fair question, and we'd rather answer it than hope you don't ask. Google's spam policies target scaled content abuse — mass-produced pages made to manipulate rankings, with no review and no original input. Our drafts are the opposite of that pipeline by design: each one is written from a structured summary of your site's actual content, scored by the same 64-signal engine we use to flag spam, and saved as a WordPress draft for your review — nothing publishes itself unless you deliberately enable that. The quota is 10 a month, not 10,000. If you want a tool for flooding the web, we're the wrong vendor; our scorer is what catches that.
Is pricing per site? I run several.
Yes — each plan attaches to one connected WordPress site, with its own quotas. Your team dashboard shows every subscribed site in one place, so running several doesn't mean juggling accounts, just one plan per site. At three or more sites, email us about the Scale tier: we price the whole portfolio together instead of stacking per-site plans.
What counts as an "SEO action"?
One AI-generated fix you apply from the dashboard: a rewritten meta title, a new meta description, or a featured-image suggestion each consume one action from your monthly quota. Crawling and issue detection never consume actions — only generating fixes does.
Is the free scorer really free? What's the catch?
Really free, no signup. You get the same 64-signal E-E-A-T analysis we run on paid plans, for one URL at a time, rate-limited per day. The "catch" is honest: we think once you've seen one page scored, you'll want your whole site scored — and that's what the paid plans do.
Do you work with my existing SEO plugin?
Yes — Yoast, RankMath, SEOPress, and All in One SEO are all supported out of the box. Your existing settings stay exactly as you configured them. ClearDesk SEO reads and writes to the same meta fields your plugin uses.
Can I cancel anytime? Any fine print?
Cancel in-dashboard with one click. No fine print, no retention calls, no "sorry to see you go" email chains. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access through the end of your billing period.
Is my data safe?
We only store what we need to run audits: URLs, scores, and issue history. We never sell or share data with third parties. All connections use HTTPS, and we encrypt your credentials. Our privacy policy is written in plain English, not lawyer-speak.
