Data Transfer Guide

Clearscope doesn't offer bulk data export, so you'll need to manually transfer insights. Export individual project reports as PDFs or CSV files from Clearscope's dashboard. For each project, capture keyword analysis, competitor URLs, and optimization recommendations. In Frase, create new content briefs for your target keywords. Use Frase's research tool to generate fresh competitor analysis, then cross-reference with your Clearscope exports to ensure consistency. Manually input proven keywords and optimization targets from Clearscope into Frase's optimization panel. While you can't directly import Clearscope data, this manual transfer ensures your historical optimization knowledge informs Frase's AI-powered workflow.
