    BrightEdge is much more advanced than Moz or SpyFu. The amount of tools is staggering and simply surpasses the others with their offering.

    BrightEdge is superior to Moz in a few different ways:
    • More tasking and automation features are available in BrightEdge.
    • Storybuilder reporting suite is more robust than Moz reporting

    Moz is a good tool to start with, and I've used it with very small companies that are starting SEO essentially from scratch and don't want to have much of an initial cost outlay. BrightEdge is far more robust functionality-wise, especially when it comes to rank tracking and …

    Conductor's Searchlight is a key competitor. Searchlight has the advantage that it has partnered with Adobe Omniture SEOmoz, which helps the platform present a comprehensive picture of a site's performance. However, the SEO technology offered by BrightEdge is probably more …

    I've also evaluated Moz Analytics, which is an outstanding lower cost tool which would be useful for businesses with limited budgets in SEO. BrightEdge offers many features that stay relevant in a secure search environment.

    In the last 3 months SEOMoz (Moz) has adapted their interface with the aspects that BrightEdge established in my opinion. BrightEdge is obviously better however, Moz pricing is much lower.

    Moz (formerly SEOmoz), Conductor Searchlight, and BrightEdge are all great SEO platforms that are similar in some aspects but are not tailored for every organization. BrightEdge and Conductor can and should be evaluated for similar organizations because both of the platforms …

    BrightEdge works well in tandem with Google Analytics, but one should not rely on one over the other with regard to those 2 tools.

    We used BrightEdge for about a year. Moz is a different platform which does some similar tasks. I feel that Moz is easier to navigate and use and extrapolate data from. BrightEdge may be a bit more robust, but for our purposes, Moz is the better choice.

    Chose Moz Pro
    Brightedge is nice, but a little too robust for our purposes. SEOmoz beats out Alexa with more actionable reporting and crawl information. We selected SEOmoz because of their industry thought leadership, ease of use and ability to have multiple campaigns.
    Chose Moz Pro
    We have used BrightEdge SEO software and found it useful to a point. All these kinds of tools have limitations, and Moz is a great resource to use as one data point in an argument to optimize a site.

    BrightEdge is great for large companies and large SEO teams since it's pricey but worth it if you have a large team or organization using it. For small businesses, I would use a different tool like Semrush because of the price and the variety of tools it offers.

    Businesses looking to keep track of their web presence and utilize a tool to identify areas of opportunity. The trends tracking and competitor modeling allow businesses to be able to build an SEO strategy that they can track progress over time and fill in content gaps. This is used by our company in conjunction with our marketing automation tool and Google's web presence suite (eg. Google Analytics, Search Console, Tag Manager).

    Cons
    BrightEdge
    • The storybuilder feature isn't anything outstanding. I feel like I can get the same type of data and format from Google Data Studio.
    • I feel like the Hyperlocal feature is still very junior compared to other features. It provides you good insights, but you have to set all the data fields before you can get a picture as well as it doesn't really give you an idea of how you can improve.
    • The mobile SEO solution is a good concept, but it needs some tweaks to be better, especially when building out a mobile story builder. Some of the data isn't simple to read and the mobile keywords functions don't also account for voice searches.

    • Some of the auto-gen visual tables aren't all that useful for smaller companies. For instance on the Search Visibility tab, many of my clients have a tiny % of keywords in the top-10, so the table shows basically 4 overlaid flat lines. I wish we had some options to customize this table or expand the range or something.
    • I wish there were some more tools relating to the technical aspects of the site/pages. The whole tool is very keyword-oriented, which is fine, but I feel like over time this has become and will continue to be less important than technical aspects, site speed, voice search, etc.
    • There's an Anchor Text tab, but it only looks at Inbound links—I wish this feature was for on-site anchor text—this could be a much better optimization tool. Because there's nothing you can do about inbound link text.

    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.

    We've been paying monthly for Moz for at least four years. We rely heavily on it for our daily work, and would need to re-engineer many of our processes if we were to cancel our subscription. I suspect we'll continue to use Moz as long as we are in business (assuming they maintain their quality).

    As I have mentioned before, if you have enterprise subscription, the staff are super helpful. Moz also participated in the marketing tech conferences especially moz in seattle. These sessions are super useful in helping digital marketing analyst like me to investigate new marketing techniques, tracking leads and conversions and eventually monetize them. Their staff is not only knowledgeable in their own product but they have been around. For example Dr Peter from moz always publishes his insights and I have relied somewhat on his opinions.

    While relatively expensive, Brightedge really does offer the best quality product but just as importantly (if not more so) the level of client/agency support. We have biweekly training with the entire team to continually stay up to date on Brightedge's offerings and strategies. They also offer the ability to do ad hoc reporting using some of their tools that can help us win new business and recommend Brightedge to additional clients, expanding our business as well.

    Moz emerged as an industry leader with a great reputation for driving optimal SEO performance and ROI for customers. Moz' thought leadership on all things SEO gave us a lot of confidence to invest and partner with them. The wide array of product features was also something that was important to us relative to Moz' competitors. In the end, we felt there wasn't anything we couldn't do with Moz. We were also impressed with the on demand platform training and tools provided from day 1. Lastly, Moz was one of the more expensive platforms, but it wasn't the most expensive, so we felt we received great value for the overall price.

    Return on Investment
    BrightEdge
    • 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.

    • Here I can easily find competitor's ranking keywords and their backlinks. It also gives you another exciting feature where you can compare two domains at the same time.
    • The thing that I don't like about this software is, that sometimes your page can take too much time for crawling.
