October 2024 product updates: Stay proactive with Content View Alerts

Never miss a critical SEO change with Clearscope’s Content View Alerts

Managing your content’s performance is about to get easier—and incredibly precise!

This month, we’re excited to announce the launch of Content View Alerts, a notification system designed to give content teams peace of mind via an email digest that highlights any opportunities or issues.

Think of it as your personal content guardian.

Alerts will keep you in the loop, so you can focus on boosting and safeguarding your organic visibility, instead of constantly firefighting issues as you notice changes in traffic or impressions.

What this new feature offers and why it matters

Relying on your Content Inventory to track your SEO performance just got even better...

With the new Content View Alerts feature, you’ll receive timely updates to stay on top of your content’s health and organic visibility.

When a new page is added to a Custom or Starter Content View you’ll receive a weekly alert. (Learn what Custom and Content Starter Views are here.)

Whether it’s tracking new SEO opportunities or spotting technical errors, you’ll receive an email summary every Monday whenever pages are flagged, allowing you to stay proactive.

How Content View Alerts work

Want to know more about how this new feature will keep you on top of your content and SEO health of the pages tracked in your Content Inventory?

I love a good, clear example, and here are a few:

• If a page encounters a technical issue, like a noindex flag, and lands in the Technical Issues Content View, you’ll receive a notification that will alert your team to review and take action.

• If you’ve created your own Custom Content View for lost front page rankings, you’ll get a heads up when a page drops from an average top 10 position.

• If you’ve created a Custom Content View to monitor click declines for the most important pages to your site, you’ll get a notification if a tracked page meets those requirements.

How to enable or disable notifications

You can choose what notifications to receive based on projects within the app.

1. Navigate to your account settings in the top right.

2. Select "My profile."

3. There, you can select which projects you'd like to receive notifications for.

You can also select "update your settings" at the bottom of your email digest.

See it for yourself

Let’s be honest—nobody loves discovering a technical error lurking on their site like an uninvited guest, or seeing a page quietly slip out of a top 3 position without your team knowing.

As we continue to enhance Clearscope’s capabilities, Content Views will continue to receive further updates—like more filters, sorting options, and additional metrics—giving you the ability to create a powerfully organized, protected library.

That way, you don’t miss a thing and your site is always maintaining that healthy organic visibility.

FAQs about the new feature

Q: Will I get bombarded by email alerts?

A: Absolutely not. Your email inbox is sacred ground, and you’ll get a once-weekly alert on Mondays. (And you can unsubscribe from alerts at any time.)

As we expand this feature, you’ll have more customizations.

Q: What’s a Custom Content View?

A: Custom Content Views are a feature within your Clearscope inventory that let you take control of your content analytics and weekly content alerts.

They allow for custom visibility into the metrics and pages that matter most to you.

You can segment your content monitoring by topics, stage of the funnel, target reader, content grade—and so much more.

The possibilities are almost endless.

Q: What’s the Clearscope Content Inventory?

A: Your Clearscope Content Inventory is the central hub for all your content. 

From the Content Inventory, you can monitor, organize, and analyze every page URL that has been imported into your inventory.

You can also create Content Reports directly from the Content Inventory to refresh content that is experiencing decay.

Q: What’s a tracked page?

A: A tracked page is simply a page within your Clearscope Content Inventory that is, well, being tracked. It is a page that has been imported into your Clearscope project and is now being monitored by the platform.

Pages that have not been imported into Clearscope will not be tracked or monitored by the platform.
