What do you like best about BrightEdge?

BrightEdge is a well thought out APP that covers SEO, PPC, content ideation / creation and more. Not only that, but it does them very well and incorporates features an advanced user will also gain benefit from.

The other great benefit of BrightEdge was having very knowledgeable account manager with me on regularly scheduled calls to help get me up to speed quickly and informing me of new features as they are available.

The BrigthEdge app was already in place when I started, so I can not speak to the ease or lack of it for integration or implementation, but I have to believe it was easy just like using the app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

It is hard to dislike BrightEdge, but for my situation starting at a new company that needed to crawl before they can walk with SEO, I needed to get many of the basics in order first before I could start using all the power of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrightEdge solving and how is that benefiting you?

BrightEdge provides opportunities for digital marketers doing SEO, PPC, content and more. Since I am in charge of all of those when doing SEO and PPC, the benefits are many. Even advanced concepts such as cannibalization between SEO and PPC is something I had to do manually before BrightEdge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrightEdge?

BrightEdge not only provides cutting-edge tools to optimize my content for AI Search, but they also provide practical training to help me use them effectively. BrightEdge is proactive about equipping customers for success in a rapidly changing SEO landscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

The only think I dislike about BrightEdge is how frequently it logs me out if I move away from the window I’m working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrightEdge solving and how is that benefiting you?

BrightEdge’s Copilot AI tool helps me efficiently create outlines and drafts for new content based on high-priority keywords. I also love how easily I can research keywords with BrightEdge Instant, track and report on keyword groups and page groups, and see which terms my competitors rank for. All of these tools help me make data-driven decisions about which words to use when I write content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrightEdge?

I like that the data and what I need to do to improve are all right there. This tool has so many great features to it I'm still learning new things and ways to increase our rankings and organic SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

Because of all the great information, it can be overwhelming to learn and understand. I often need a reminder from my Success Manager of where/how to look at things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrightEdge solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use to have issues not being found on Google. We're one of the best and biggest companies in the area and when people googled our services we were nowhere to be found. I've realized that with BrightEdge that I'm able to have a little more control over how we rank and moving us up in rankings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BrightEdge?

I have been using BrightEdge for about 8 years now and take it wherever I go. It is now integral to what I do as an SEO, what I can do for a company and it makes me a better SEO practitioner. I still enjoy their standard reports such as Data Cube and Content IQ but I'm now fully invested in their newer features such as Data Cube X, CoPilot, Instant, and Autopilot. Their Data Cube X is now a necessity to how I look at competitor websites, content gap analysis, and how I construct a lot of my content planning. Their Content IQ is how I look for site issues and measure the health of my site. Their dashboards are how I report back to the business. With their newer features, I have AI-enabled abilitites to interlink using Autopilot and a better way to optimize my pages with Copilot. Their recommendations, now AI-driven, are ones you can pull directly from their system. These features are now ones I could not live without. They've come a long way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

For an experienced SEO like me, their page suggestions often don't make sense or hold water. The suggestions are automated and based on elements of SEO that I don't find helpful or useful. Might be fine for someone newer to SEO, but I usually skip over these. Same could be said for their Home screen data points. Nice, but not essential to what I need to do my job. BrightEdge does not do everything I want or need. I still have to use an alternate tool every now and again to cross-check crawl issues or to pull URL's more quickly but BrightEdge has way more and way better tools for what I need than missing any of the tools that I need to use occassionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrightEdge solving and how is that benefiting you?

BrightEdge is serving as my primary SEO platform that I use for keyword tracking, competitive research, active optimizations, and reporting. I now use BrightEdge for AI-driven internal link building through their Autopilot product and use their Ai-driven recommendations through their Copilot product. I research SEO in real-time, frequently using their Instant reporting suite and am super reliant on them for most everything I need to successfully manage my SEO program. Benefits are numerous including data not available anywhere else from Data Cube and Data Cube X and a system that is easy to organize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The BrightEdge team members have made the experience much more enjoyable and given great guidance on using their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

As far as dislikes, I do not really have one thing I can say. The only intimidating portion was the depth of different features that BrightEdge provides clients with. This can be overwhelming at first but, with great assistance from the team, I was able to understand what I was doing more effectively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BrightEdge solving and how is that benefiting you?

The issues that BrightEdge solved for us is page rankings. We were able to move to top positions for multiple categories of products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

There is so much that BrightEdge offers, it can be difficult to do everything you can do and should do to optimize your website. I could spend half my week every week using the BrightEdge platform to improve my website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
