GrowByData

- Captures search pages, Shopping listings, paid ads, and AI answers as they appeared, archived week over week
- Measures above-the-fold ownership, who owns the screen before a buyer scrolls, by market
- AI connector: ask a plain-English question about your tracked markets, ads, and AI answers, and get a recommended action, not just a chart
- Backed by analysts who know your site, markets, and competitors, and act on what the data shows
- Built for your specific markets, keywords, and AI conversations, not general keyword or backlink research

Which to Choose
Pick BrightEdge if your priority is a large-scale enterprise SEO platform with technical site auditing and AI citation tracking, and organic content performance is the core of what your team manages.
Pick GrowByData if Google Shopping Ads, text ad copy, and market-level competitive tracking across Search and AI matter as much as organic SEO, and you’d rather scope pricing to what you track than sign a flat enterprise contract.
Some teams run both, BrightEdge for organic content strategy and technical auditing, GrowByData for Shopping Ads and cross-channel competitive intelligence, since the two platforms are built around different halves of the search landscape.

Both track brand presence across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. BrightEdge's AI Catalyst adds sentiment and competitor benchmarking within that same three-engine set. GrowByData adds Google AI Mode as a fourth tracked engine and tracks sponsored ads appearing inside AI answers, a surface not confirmed in BrightEdge's current documentation.
BrightEdge's enterprise pricing, typically $42,000 to $69,000 a year, is built for Fortune 500-scale deployments with dedicated implementation support. For a mid-market team, that's a significant commitment before evaluating whether the Shopping and paid search gaps matter to your business.
