Replaces $215/mo in marketing tools

The math, both ways.

We add up what an SMB owner would actually pay on Semrush for the same core discoverability tracking. Single location first, then multi-location - where the per-location pricing really compounds.

Pricing FAQ.

Are there any contracts on the platform tier?

No. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime from your account settings. No agency contracts, no lock-in, no termination fees.

What payment methods do you accept?

Credit and debit cards via Stripe. Invoiced billing available on request - email david@cleargradeai.com.

Is the free audit really free?

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.

What if my business is bigger than 25 employees?

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.

Why is the audit only $49.99?

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.

What's the difference between the free check and the $49.99 audit?

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.

What's the difference between $39 AI Visibility and the $99 platform?

$39 is AI search only: 5 AI surfaces tracked weekly, city/ZIP-level visibility heatmap, FAQ generator for citation gaps, schema embed. $99 adds everything else — Google rank tracking, Map Pack scans, GBP recommendations, review request automation, technical SEO scans, content production, competitor intelligence, monthly re-graded audit. If you ONLY care about getting cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini, start at $39. If you care about Google + Map Pack + AI together, $99 is the right call.

Should I start with the $39 tier or the $99 platform?

Honest answer: if you're a single-location service business (PT clinic, dentist, plumber), the platform is the better fit because Map Pack ranking drives most of your phone calls and the $39 tier doesn't include it. If you sell online (SaaS, e-commerce, B2B services), the $39 tier covers the AI search surface that's actually moving for you and you can upgrade later. You can switch tiers any time from your account settings.

What if I'm not satisfied?

30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Applies to the $49.99 audit and the platform tier (monthly or annual). Email david@cleargradeai.com within 30 days and we refund the full amount.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly is month-to-month, cancel from your account settings any time. Annual is a one-year commitment but cancellable mid-term on a prorated basis. No agency contracts, no termination fees.

Do you charge for additional users or seats?

No. Same price for every business regardless of team size. A 1-person bakery and a 25-person clinic pay the same $99/mo (or $79/mo annual). Add as many teammates as you want.
