SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BrightEdge, the world’s first enterprise class SEO platform that helps brands rise above the increasing clutter on the Web, today announced it is the first to offer a global SEO platform so companies can reach any market in any corner of the world.

Our clients use BrightEdge to break through this clutter and use natural search as a major revenue driver. Bringing our platform to international search engines will give companies a means to scale and drive new business in ways simply not possible before.”
