Read full review As a former writer, the tools that DupliChecker offers are of a great deal. They are vital and useful for my day-to-day work.

Read full review Pros When we use BrightLocal's citation building service, I know that we're getting quality citations done right. Their staff will email you with any questions and always double check the information before creating inaccurate citations. I love that BrightLocal is very quick about making changes when requested. For example, if we can't find a city on the drop-down list, you can chat them and they'll add it. Or if a report is pulling incorrectly, they'll re-run it within a reasonable timeframe. BrightLocal has a lot of different reports that are easy to send to your clients. You can even add them to a web-viewable dashboard so that your client can simply bookmark a link and view their reports when they please.

Didn't seem useful for every single client in the way Ahrefs or Spyfu did Read full review Its algorithms are designed for the best performance of the data used as a user. We can get results quickly effectively as it leads us to dependencies of its functions while investigating each keyword. Read full review Support Rating Although their customer support has always contacted me, they have not always been helpful. Many times I've had reports or information disappear with them telling me they had no record of it, even when I had reports that the information was in there. There are times when their system did have bugs and the support was able to help me there. Overall, the support staff is there but they cannot always do much and need to wait for their development team to get back to them which often takes a long time.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Thryv reached out to me about 3 weeks before signing up with BrightLocal. While all of their features were impressive, there were only about 3 features that I would have used.
Thryv wanted $200 per month for their service, which I found to be way overpriced for what I was wanting to use it for. I selected BrightLocal because it had the features I wanted at a lower price and then add ons. After using BrightLocal for a week and speaking with Becki, a customer service executive, I have discovered more features that I would use on BrightLocal than on
Thryv .

On the other hand, Dupli Checker provides better functionality for its users which helps us in various ways.

Reporting is nicely accomplished with their online client report dashboards. Negative: some of their software defects are glaringly obvious take forever to fix, creating a number of awkward moments when we talk our clients through their reports. Read full review Although a paid version is needed to convert more than 20,000 words, this platform is worth paying for, because it helps you create authentic text without grammatical errors. Helps our organization to avoid that any important document that has to be shared with another organization, contains plagiarism. The best of all is that it has first-rate technology and excellent security. It has an impressive color-coding scheme, so you can identify which are the duplicates and the unique ones.
