Forthea uses BrightEdge as the backbone of everything that we do for SEO, including both client services and sales. The tool itself is flawless. BrightEdge allows us to gain insights and efficiencies that benefit both the agency and our clients. I initially implemented BrightEdge at another agency, where we went through a rigorous review of a handful of SEO platforms. There really was no comparison, and the decision was an easy one. It provided so much value that convincing the decision-makers at Forthea to implement was a no-brainer, and our entire staff sings its praises daily. Past the platform, I consider our peers at BrightEdge to be an important part of our team. They are skilled, responsive, and provide thought leadership on all things SEO. I don't believe it's possible to be happier with the investment in the platform and the partnership with the BrightEdge team.

- Improved results for and retention of clients.
- Insights and analysis for all sales efforts.
- Thought leadership on recent SEO changes and/or issues.
BrightEdge isn't cheap, and I've found that to be the biggest issue when compared to other platforms. That said, when you really dig into the features and benefits, it is the best value. It's the most comprehensive solution available. Aside from platform efficacy, the support and training from the BrightEdge team is an invaluable asset that really solidifies the value you get with BrightEdge.
No, we did not purchase premium support.
Given how good the support and training is by default, I can't imagine what it
would entail.
No
We often use business development accounts to get a better look at potential clients site metrics and the competitive environment. Each time I've requested an account it has been set up within 10-15 minutes. It is such a help when it comes to getting meaningful insights for a potential client.

Best Enterprise SEO Platform
BrightEdge is our main SEO tool that we use to manage all of our clients. We use it daily to manage keywords, competitors, analyze reporting, look for website technical issues, and use their recommendation system to provide tasks to other employees. We also use their content building module.
- BrightEdge has a great insights dashboard that quickly tells you what is most important to know and act on.
- 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.

- We have multiple case studies that show a significant impact of website performance and ranking once we start using BrightEdge.
I found the folks at Conductor to be very slimy and spent more time saying bad things about other platforms rather than good things about what they do. Very deceptive and their platform is underwhelming.

BrightEdge has given us what we lacked from agencies - RESULTS.
We decided to bring our SEO management in-house after realizing we were paying agencies to basically do nothing. We spent a lot of money on SEO with no recommendations and changes happening. Now that we have brought it in-house it has been a huge undertaking for our small team, but it has given us a lot of insights in what could have been and should have been done previously. We have control over what is happening and are in it almost daily making changes and corrections to our site based on the recommendations we get from BrightEdge.
- It helps us find items that we missed in our site build such as image alt text, H2 fixes, missing descriptions, etc. It is so easy to gloss over some of these items as there are just so many of them, BE brings these to the forefront and you can see them all the time and decide what items need to be corrected.
- The BE team is outstanding! Our CSM is solid and is a HUGE help for us. We have consistent calls with them and they help us, non-SEO professionals, become more knowledgeable in what we are doing and has us thinking about future projects that we would never have thought of on our own. They are a integral piece of our team now.
- The on-boarding process was amazing! The on-boarding specialist had our best interests at heart and was a huge help, they then handed us off to an equally knowledgeable and qualified Client Success Manager. Customer service at BE is top-notch.
- I really can't comment here, because being a novice going into this I don't know what I don't know. So far everything has been great.

- 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.
We were using agencies for this work in the past and we were not having the feedback and help that we had been expecting from them. We were just paying money with getting nothing in return. We decided to bring this in-house and because of a past relationship with BrightEdge we turned back to them and dove right in. This has been the best decision we could have made. While it does take time and has added responsibilities to our day, we now have total control over changes and fixes to our SEO strategy.

I am the Marketing Manager and I handle most all of our vendor relationships and digital marketing strategies and products. While i depend on agencies for a lot of support the SEO portion was just a money-pit and we decided to try doing it ourselves. This solution has allowed us to do just that.

Me. I am the only one using it and supporting it. My skill set was knowledge of SEO and all digital marketing high-level strategies, but the day-to-day working knowledge was not there. This was a huge undertaking for me to bring this in-house and take on that role without royally screwing everything up. The BE team did not allow me to fail, they are awesome and have been with me every step of the way.
- Overall site SEO.
- Specific product and services SEO.
- Money savings of handling SEO in-house agency help to do so.
- I am not sure about unexpected or innovative, we have just been able to make some small changes and fixes that we didn't know we needed to do on our site. That was an eye-opener for me.
- We are starting to get product and service specific with our SEO campaigns as well as regionally specific. These are big steps for us.
This is an easy question to answer - EVERY time I have had an interaction with their team it has been exceptional support. At times i wonder if we are just lucky, but if we are I will take the good luck. Their team has been second to none each and every time we have an interaction.
- Seeing what the system recommends as changes.
- Seeing performance on the dashboard
- Keep in mind, I was a novice at the day-to-day behind the scenes workings of SEO, so all of this was new to me. Understanding how all of it tied together at first seemed overwhelming.
- Setting up keyword groups and then refining them...again, it isn't hard, it just took me some time, luckily their CSM is amazing!

Brightedge: Informed SEO Tools
We use it from an agency standpoint, who mainly focus on the hospitality industry. We use BrightEdge to augment our ongoing SEO efforts across many different client websites. As a tool we use it to mine for opportunities we have within the sites to add or remove certain keywords as well as seeing areas of opportunities to increase organic ranking wherever possible.
- It provides insights as to how your optimization efforts stand up against competitor terms and shows you your "share of voice" as it is called within the program.
- Provides a platform for anybody to go in and understand where there are opportunities for SEO improvement.
- Some of our clients are older legacy clients and are still accustomed to receiving SERP reports, so it fills that need as well.
- Sometimes the user interface has proven to be less than intuitive for some of our analysts, and has made them hesitant to fully adopt the program.
- Some of the new product additions, like the integration with Google Webmaster Tools, was extremely difficult to implement, seeing that we had to try to do it for over 100 different websites.
- Setting up dashboards and reports is time consuming initially, but is a nice feature once in place.
- Use of the tool has led to better organic keyword ranking.
- It can help teach a newer analyst how a webpage should be focused and how all the elements of the page relate to each other and how they directly relate to how the website as a whole is viewed and valued by search engines.
- I think it provides a fact and logically based platform to implement SEO changes. As SEO becomes more abstract, it keeps up with industry standards and is constantly updating with features to keep up with these constant changes.
I think the BrightEdge platform outperforms RavenTools as a more complete and encompassing solution for SEO in today's current landscape.

Recommendation from other industry professionals
We wouldn't.
- Vendor implemented
No
Change management was minimal
- Getting analysts to adopt the system rather than doing traditional SEO.
- Getting all analysts to submit keyword list to BrightEdge.
- Lag between client submission to BrightEdge and finally seeing them on the tool was a little long. Sometimes more than a week.
No
We had a problem with certain users not being able to access certain client profiles and after just a 5 minute discussion with our product manager, she walked us through the steps to make sure all our users had access to the appropriate accounts.
- The dashboards, once set up are quite useful and a good quick reference.
- The integration with webmaster tools is quite nice.
- The SERP reporting is simple and easy to understand.
- Initially, it is difficult to learn your way around the tool and navigating around the site.
- It takes some training and support to learn about what certain reporting features are actually telling you and how to generate them.
- The initial intergration with Google Webmaster tools was quite difficult, as we have an MCC with many different websites, and we unfortunately had to bring them in individually rather than in one action which was time consuming.
No
