“Responsive team and a product that improves quickly”
“The ‘automated weekly loop’ angle is the right sell — most SEO tools stop at the strategy layer and leave the execution to you.”
“The core positioning itself feels genuinely strong though — especially compared to broader/more complex SEO suites.”

Our story
Why we built Clustea
Ahmed
Founder, Clustea
I tried Surfer SEO for my blog. The tool was solid, but at $99/month with zero MRR, the math didn't work. I cancelled after the free trial.
So I looked at the alternatives. Jasper writes content but has no keyword strategy: it's a text generator, not an SEO tool. Frase does the research well but stops there, leaving the writing to you. Every tool I tried solved one piece of the puzzle and left me juggling 3 or 4 subscriptions to cover the rest.
I wanted a single workflow: find the keyword gaps my competitors exploit, build a content cluster around the best opportunities, generate the articles, and push them live to WordPress, without switching tools or racking up $200+/month in SaaS bills.
That's exactly what I built. Clustea does the full pipeline: keyword gaps, content clusters, AI articles, WordPress publishing. Starting at $12/month. Designed for agencies and founders who want to rank without burning their runway.
How it works
Set it once.
Never come back.
The full SEO pipeline runs automatically every week. No recurring effort. No logging back in.
You connect once
Link your GSC, your CMS, and your 3 main competitors. Takes 2 minutes. That's the last time you touch Clustea.
Clustea reads your real data
Every week, automatically. Your real GSC rankings, positions, impressions, CTR. Cross-referenced with DataForSEO to find every keyword your competitors rank for that you don't. Zero input from you.
Clustea identifies your best opportunities
The algorithm scores every keyword gap automatically. Position 4–10 gets priority. High impressions with low clicks gets flagged. You never decide what to write.
Clustea writes the articles
SEO-optimized articles, length calibrated on the pages that rank. Proper structure, meta tags, FAQ. Written automatically every week. No prompts. No input. Nothing from you.
Clustea publishes to your CMS
Every Monday morning, articles land in your drafts automatically: WordPress, Shopify, Ghost, HubSpot, or Notion. Zero copy-paste. Zero formatting. Zero effort.
Clustea emails you the recap
Articles published, keywords targeted, current rankings, next week's opportunities. You're informed without doing anything.
From GSC data to published article: 100% automated, every week.

FAQ
Common questions
How is this different from Jasper or Surfer SEO?
Surfer SEO takes a week to learn. Jasper writes generic content with zero keyword research. Clustea gives you gap analysis + AI writing in one tool, built for agencies and founders who want traffic, not another full-time job.

No. You get 3 free articles to try the tool, no credit card required.
How good is the article quality?
Articles follow SEO best practices: proper H1/H2/H3 structure, 1–2% keyword density, FAQ section, and a clear CTA. Median SEO score: 89/100 (average: 85.6), measured across all generated articles.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the billing dashboard at any time. You keep access until the end of your billing period.
Does it work for any niche?
Yes. The AI adapts tone and structure based on your domain and target keywords: B2B SaaS, e-commerce, local business, whatever you build.

No. If you can type your domain name, you can use Clustea. The tool handles the strategy. You just pick which articles to generate.
Will AI-generated content hurt my SEO?
Google rewards helpful, high-quality content regardless of how it was written. Our articles are structured to be genuinely useful to readers, not keyword-stuffed spam.
