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 asked us to extend the platform’s reach so they can drive the same ROI globally that they are seeing in the U.S.”

The new global SEO solution made available today is groundbreaking in search marketing. Companies and brands can now leverage a single technology solution to manage their rank across search properties in multiple countries and continents.

The company also announced that former Baidu Chief Architect Ming Lei has joined as a strategic advisor to provide guidance as BrightEdge optimizes their platform for international search engines.

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.”

World business software leader Epicor will be using BrightEdge’s technology to expand its SEO initiatives on a global platform. BrightEdge will assist Epicor in scaling internationally and increasing brand awareness and sales opportunities in new markets and countries across the globe.
