The Data Cube tool allows you to track yours and competitor’s keyword performance, SERP rankings, content strategies and more, driving higher organic traffic and creating unique content opportunities. Their extensive filter options make it easy to hone in on priorities that further your vision, so you never again waste time wondering which optimization strategies you should apply first.

Conductor is more conducive to start-ups and small home businesses, as it’s a free extension you can plug right into your Chrome browser. It comes with many recently updated, high-profile features like:

So, which platform is right for you?
Only you and your team will know the answer to this question.
Conductor offers a lot of features for free, but these are mostly AI-driven, meaning you’re going to get a more impersonal overview. You may find that Conductor is better for small businesses because of the free browser extension, yet unlimited scale of the platform. So if you’re a small software company, a doctor’s office, or even an SEO agency, Conductor is a good choice.
With BrightEdge, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that real human beings who understand context and have spoken with you personally are on your side, in addition to having the benefit of machine learning and AI-driven content creation. Enterprise companies on the other hand may find that advanced features like site structure errors make Brightedge the right choice for huge scale. However, that comes with a hefty price tag.
