BrightEdge has provided our company with more than any other tool/platform could dream of. We've been extremely happy with its use, and have really tailored our strategies and internal workflow around the data in BrightEdge. I could not imagine having a successful, streamlined SEO service without BrightEdge.

I don't make the decision to renew this product, but given our success implementing it and using with with our clients, I would imagine that we will continue to renew our contract with this company.

I have yet to come across another product that delivers the amount of reporting that BrightEdge does. It literally takes hours of work and sums it up for you each week to give you the SEO intel that you need in order to make effective marketing decisions. I have been very pleased with BrightEdge and their ability to continue to innovate their product and stay up with the every changing world of SEO.

Our team's bandwidth is spread pretty thin at the moment, and BrightEdge's services aren't inexpensive. If we don't renew, it will be because our team is not in a position to move forward with their recommendations. We would consider picking back up once our team is in a position to make BrightEdge tasks more of a priority.

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.

My only negative comment about BrightEdge is that since it contains SO MUCH information it's not always easy to use and is not very intuitive to find the data you're looking for. I think it could be more user friendly. That said, it is a very comprehensive platform and gives you all the data that you could possibly want if you just know how to find it.

As far as I am concerned, I would definitely renew but BrightEdge also comes with a price tag that is not possible for some companies or budgets. The price can definitely be a deal breaker in cases when a company simply doesn't have a big budget allocated for SEO efforts or software purchases.

The positives greatly outweigh any negatives when it comes to this product. In my time using it I have found little error to the platform, and just a few things that could be improved upon. BrightEdge not only provides an amazing and trustworthy product, but the company and their employees go above and beyond on a regular basis.
