"Powerful Platform with a Steep Learning Curve"
What do you like best about BrightEdge?

I use the “conversational keywords” search the most! Additionally, I love our customer success manager. We meet with her bi-weekly and she helps us solve any issues as well as keeping us updated with all the new BrightEdge updates. Plus I just like her personally. She’s a great asset to BrightEdge and represents our connection to BrightEdge in the best way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

Very robust platform that has a pretty significant learning curve to get the most out of. I feel like there’s not enough time in the day to get the most out of the tool! But that’s a personal problem - not a flaw of bright edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BrightEdge: Cutting-Edge AI Tools and Webinars for SEO Success"
What do you like best about BrightEdge?

I love how BrightEdge is constantly evolving with AI search recommendations, tools, and dashboards. They also host useful webinars about AI search strategy. BrightEdge is a powerful tool for SEO strategy and they are always changing as search changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

The interface isn't always easy to use or navigate. It is extremely powerful and packed with multiple options or views, but for strategy managers who aren't constantly in the platform, it can be hard to get around and find what you need. If you are in it often, I'm sure this isn't a problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Insightful SEO Platform with Transparency Concerns"
What do you like best about BrightEdge?

I like that BrightEdge is thinking outside the box and creating custom tools that answer questions marketers have consistently, which other platforms can't answer, particularly Google's Search Console, which is very basic. It gives us the ability to go deeper and to have historical data that we lose after a time with Search Console. Also, it was not too hard and relatively easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

BrightEdge is not very transparent in terms of what limitations there are in its datasets and will tend to oversell what it can offer to get you in the door. And then later on, you realize that they can't actually give you what you're looking for. What they supposedly promised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BrightEdge is truly a partner in SEO"
What do you like best about BrightEdge?

BrightEdge is a great platform. The features are robust and the access to data is top-notch. But, the customer service is the thing that really sets them apart. I have a small team and so having a biweekly meeting/ work session with an expert is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

Some of the menu items aren't organized intuitively. There is a learning curve to which tools/settings are where. There are some issues with platform speed. The delay is only a few seconds but I would love to see a speedier response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything I need to be a successful SEO is in BrightEdge. Tools like data cube provide a lot of insight and allow me to get information in one place and not have to go to different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

I was trying to convince the people in my current company to get BrightEdge. Any help is appreciated. More help creating dashboards and more flexibility to making custom dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transformative SEO Tool with Powerful AI Features"
What do you like best about BrightEdge?

I find the Content IQ feature to be incredibly helpful over the last few years. It has provided me with valuable insights into my website's performance. On a similar note, the AI Catalyst feature stands out as it allows me to see how my website stacks up against the competition within the rapidly evolving search landscape. This feature has become increasingly valuable with the emergence of new search dynamics and platforms like ChatGPT. The ability to have a centralized location where I can understand my competitive stance and citation sources is tremendously beneficial. Additionally, DataCube is an invaluable tool that I use regularly for keyword and competitor research. It provides essential insights into where competitors rank that we might not, which is crucial for staying competitive. I also greatly appreciate how BrightEdge simplifies the process of tracking keywords across numerous websites I have worked on throughout my career. The intuitive nature of the platform facilitates easy reporting and understanding of ranking changes and algorithm updates. Furthermore, the initial setup with BrightEdge was effortless, thanks to the assistance from their CSM. Their help in incorporating our keyword list and setting up keyword and page groups made the process much easier than anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BrightEdge: The Robust SEO Leader with Seamless Setup"
What do you like best about BrightEdge?

I have been using BrightEdge for six years and am very happy with the progress they have made. BrightEdge stands out for its robustness compared to other platforms like SEMrush, and its setup process was extremely simple and seamless, thanks to the help from the account manager assigned to us. The platform's capabilities in solving the AI landscape shift by providing tools to understand visibility changes and offering competitive recommendations are very valuable to me. I greatly appreciate features like Data CubeEx, which has seen significant growth in its analytical capabilities over the years. The integration of content recommendations and the AI catalyst enhances our brand presence, making a significant positive difference. SearchIQ and Content Advisor are particularly amazing for providing ongoing recommendations. I find their constant investment in technology to adapt to AI and SEO changes very promising. I rate BrightEdge a 10 out of 10 for recommending to another business due to its effective functionalities and sustained innovations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

"Expert Guidance Makes Brightedge Stand Out, Be Thorough With Your Setup"
What do you like best about BrightEdge?

The guidance and direction we get on our regular calls with Brightedge are extremely valuable. The tool itself is fantastic, but it's really the value of a dedicated expert that makes the relationship highly valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

It can be a bit complex and time consuming to work through the initial setup, and if you don't get that right upfront, then you're moving your baseline and restarting when you make adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for SEO specialists and digital marketers"

What do you dislike about BrightEdge?

It'd be helpful to have deeper walkthroughs dedicated to new features that launch especially for SEO specialists. With all the rapid change in the industry due to the introduction of AI, new tools are popping up quickly - which keeps BE ahead of the game - but it'd be great to get a deeper understanding of what launches.
