Brands That Trust GrowByData

Our Offices

We are headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts, USA, and supported by our global team in Kathmandu Nepal.

The key benefits of GBD over other tools is the level of granularity, and flexibility with that granularity, we have been able to get from any SERP monitoring tool. The team is always monitoring for new SERP features, willing and able to adjust reporting to accommodate the many changes we see in the space.

GBD provides super detailed reports, containing SERP features that I couldn't otherwise track. Everything is in real-time, so we can always track the volatility after Google updates, for example. It's also very convenient since we can track both paid and organic results at the same time.

Great team and great data
They give great data that I'm not able to find anywhere else. I also love how they look at the entire search landscape; other platforms usually separate paid vs. organic while GrowByData tells you how they work together. they have a great team as well who is happy to walk you through what trends they are seeing, and good recommendations.
