Overall Satisfaction with BrightEdge
We use BrightEdge's Data Cube almost 80% of the time for keyword research, checking organic ranking positions, competitive analysis, and keyword gap analysis. We also use Recommendations and Intent Signal Dashboards to find out what content to defend, or top opportunities to go after. It helps us with our content creation and also lets us know what we have to do to our evergreen content to get it to rank higher.
- 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.
- Gives a better picture of how our website is doing organically in blended searches.
- Gives recommendations for improvement for our organic SEO efforts.
- By increasing our organic exposure, it drives more leads to our website producing very high ROI.
BrightEdge is easier to use compared to Conductor. seoClarity was my second option, but I only had a demo and haven't worked with it deeply. It seemed like a good tool. Botify looked like it was better for Technical SEO and looks more advanced for that feature, but it didn't have the other features that BrightEdge offered and wouldn't be as user-friendly for the average layman.
