Scale vs Scope

BrightEdge is built for global enterprises with in-house SEO teams, six-figure budgets and multi-year software commitments. It does a lot.

Most UK B2B service firms do not need that footprint. They need a focused answer to 'are we recommended by AI tools, why not, and what do we fix first?' That is what AireStream delivers.

Enterprise Platform vs Focused Audit

BrightEdge gives enterprise teams a platform and a programme to manage. AireStream gives you a scored audit of all 73 components with prioritised recommendations, then a step-by-step checklist and three months of support to act on it. Advantage adds the same audit run on up to three named competitors. Implementation and ongoing measurement are separate, optional commitments.
