    Anyone looking to update or add long form content on their website would greatly benefit from using Content at Scale! I can't imagine not using it for our business. Keep in mind you will need to edit what it produces. In our experience we could not have published without editing. They offer great resources to assist you with the best way to edit and ways to use the tool in general

    BrightEdge is great for large companies and large SEO teams since it's pricey but worth it if you have a large team or organization using it. For small businesses, I would use a different tool like Semrush because of the price and the variety of tools it offers.

    If you notice your site is taking a long time to load, then you should first use PageSpeed Insights to see what can quickly be optimized (also check your file sizes, hosting server, NGINX and other common sources of slow speed, too.) And, if you've notice gradually fewer Organic Search visits, PageSpeed Insights might be able to help. As Google is reducing the prevalence of slow sites, you could be losing traffic. Speed up your page load times by finding what is blocking renders, slowing down contentful paints, and other critical page speed signals.

    Cons
    BrandWell
    • There was some trouble when the Shopify Integration was first launched. I think that has been resolved.
    • We are trying to use our custom tone. It seems to have trouble with that. I may need to seek more instruction on how to instruct it properly.
    • There have been times when replies from support were too slow for our time lines.

    • The storybuilder feature isn't anything outstanding. I feel like I can get the same type of data and format from Google Data Studio.
    • I feel like the Hyperlocal feature is still very junior compared to other features. It provides you good insights, but you have to set all the data fields before you can get a picture as well as it doesn't really give you an idea of how you can improve.
    • The mobile SEO solution is a good concept, but it needs some tweaks to be better, especially when building out a mobile story builder. Some of the data isn't simple to read and the mobile keywords functions don't also account for voice searches.

    I would renew, as I don't feel there is a product out there that would have the impact on our SEO efforts as effectively as BrightEdge. It provides the information I need and integrates with other tools like Google Webmaster Tools, to truly have the depth of information that makes their suggestions for SEO changes so valued.

    Because it depends on the feature, it's either easier or not to use. Some of them, not being particularly friendly, I no longer use, and I focus on the ones where insights are easy to understand and data seems well-elaborated.

    This is a area where the BrightEdge team really shines. Their commitment to training and product support is unmatched not only for SEO platforms, but life in general. I often find myself wishing my internet provide and similar would go to BrightEdge for training on support and attitude. I would rank them an 11 if I could.

    While I continue to SurferSEO for it's Audits, Grow Flow and other SEO related functionalities, Content at Scale has proven to be the better choice for producing content, with input from SurferSEO (and other tools) helping to select topics.
    Jasper was a great tool, but I was looking for a more one shot solution to producing long form content than Jasper provided. I've produced a huge variety of other kinds of content with Jasper, including a book!, but it took a bit more effort.

    While relatively expensive, Brightedge really does offer the best quality product but just as importantly (if not more so) the level of client/agency support. We have biweekly training with the entire team to continually stay up to date on Brightedge's offerings and strategies. They also offer the ability to do ad hoc reporting using some of their tools that can help us win new business and recommend Brightedge to additional clients, expanding our business as well.

    I think GTmetrix has some feedback that PageSpeed doesn't provide, but Google's tool is easier overall and has a better user experience; also offers compressed images, CSS, and javascript files if that's the case. Also, Google has extensive documentation to help you better understand what can be done to improve your grade.

    Return on Investment

    • Content at scale is very affordable.
    • I have gained SEO rankings very quickly.
    • I never expected the benefit of our domain authority raising 10 points in such a short time.

    • We have only started with BE a few months ago and so I don't have any hard numbers from an ROI perspective, but i can say that what we spent on BE is a fraction of what we were spending with agencies and we are actually getting results by doing this ourselves. From that perspective we have seen a cost savings.
    • With focused SEO campaigns and projects we have been able to move the needle on our SEO rankings for specific products and services. This is going to have a great impact for us in 2019 as we have some specific product goals and campaigns for 2019 that we have been working to build up over the last couple months of 2018.
