Great Replacement for SEO agency
- Recommended easy wins
- Understanding search intent and preferred landing page by keyword

- Bit of a learning curve but realize this isn’t easy. Onboarding and customer support are great.
- Workflow and task process. Would be nice if it was a little more streamlined but again, understand this isn’t easy.
- Recommended blogs for each problem. Not as intuitive but it is available. Couldn’t find it until the rep told me where to look.
Great and easy to use platform

Great Value SEO Platform
- Site Audit - Helps us address major technical issues on site
- Competitive Research - Understand the competitive search landscape for our content
- KW Research - Content research tool allows us to create powerful KW lists to share with our editorial team
- Site Audit - BrightEdge crawlers could perform full crawls without as much manual effort from a rules perspective (although this is more of an issue specific to our firm, given our regulations)
- KW Research - Ability to minimize KW lists based on the industry we are searching in; KW lists can sometimes be >1K long, which takes time to filter through
Here is an enterprise SEO Platform all-in-one
- Instant - Keyword research tool is by far our team's favorite item on the platform
- DataCube - We are able to uncover competitive gaps and hone in on specific sets of pages using filters containing our business product assortment attribute.
- Professional services have been attentive when asking for changes
- If BrightEdge had an integration that allowed for on-page optimizations (outside out internal CMS) using javascript after page load that would be amazing.
- If google search volume and clickstream search volume we always presented next to each other and not in a separate section our processes would be quicker.
- There could be a better way to track the pages we have optimized and share data over time on the performance of those optimizations. This. is one of the hardest things for us to manually keep track of today

Best Enterprise SEO Platform

- The DataCube with BrightEdge is a fantastic tool that allows us to see what our competition is doing and glean for new keywords.
- Share of voice shows how we are competing with our current competitors and also if there are any new ones that we should be watching.
- There is so much information available within BrightEdge that it was hard to determine what to prioritize and tackle first. That was an issue, but now that Insights has been launched, it is no longer a problem.

Everything you need from an SEO tool + MUCH MORE

- Opportunity forecasting- this is an awesome tool to use when creating new content to tie to revenue goals
- In addition to the tool itself, the BE teams and customer service are second to none!
- This is an incredible, comprehensive SEO tool but the Site Audit feature could be improved upon from a technical SEO standpoint
BrightEdge is a very robust SEO enterprise tool
- Keyword research is very good and Data Cube is very easy to use as compared to other SEO Enterprise tools.
- Keyword gap analysis is very helpful to find out what keywords our competitors are using that we are not.
- Monitoring organic rank positions is very easy with Data Cube.
- The Content IQ doesn't catch all technical SEO issues as compared to other site audit or crawler tools.
- The Content IQ score is very high, but when comparing to other SEO site audit tools they show lower scores because they are picking up more errors.
- There are some bugs or suggestions that are not good in Recommendations.
BrightEdge is a great SEO tool that will empower your team to make marked organic search improvements!
BrightEdge empowers our team by guiding us through SEO recommendations, which we can then implement without the need to pay a search agency/vendor a monthly retainer.
- BrightEdge provides on-page SEO recommendations based on real search data from the search engines.
- BrightEdge customer support and account management is great, responds quickly, and are super knowledgeable.
- BrightEdge provides a ton of dashboards and custom reports that can really help show the value and ROI of SEO improvements.
- The BrightEdge admin interface isn't super intuitive for new users and requires some hand-holding after the initial setup.
- Some of the really cool reports can only be created by someone with deep knowledge of BrightEdge, so may require your account person's help.
- BrightEdge is sold as a DIY SEO platform, but to really maximize value, I think you need to have a dedicated rep and ongoing support meetings to get the full value.
BrightEdge is a good enterprise level SEO tool
- Clear view of performance of keywords
- Suggestions on how to improve, especially on-page actions
- Excellent support and training from our local team (once we made contact with them)
- SEO is complex, and the message of the BrightEdge tools is not always clear
