Why could BrightEdge be BIG?
According to Forrester’s US Interactive Marketing Forecast for 2009-2014 , “Interactive marketing will near $55 billion and represent 21% of all marketing spend in 2014 as marketers shift dollars away from traditional media and toward search marketing, display advertising, email marketing, social media, and mobile marketing.” Saturation of the traditional online channels – email, display advertising, and PPC – is creating a huge opportunity for organic search marketing, resulting in great attention being paid to the value of SEO strategies for increased market share and profitability.
BrightEdge answers this market demand with a comprehensive solution that provides broad visibility into the business value of SEO, thus enabling users to strategically drive organic search results for measurable ROI.

BrightEdge’s SEO platform streamlines all SEO tasks, including reporting, competitive analysis, keyword targeting, recommendations and much more in a clean, easy-to-use interface. Pricing strategies are fairly complicated and will be better explained during a potential briefing. Note that even in stealth mode for three years, BrightEdge has already helped its customers generate organic revenue that surpasses the billion dollar mark.
