    "body": "Trakkr earns the top spot because it directly addresses the main reason teams look past BrightEdge: limited AI coverage. It tracks eight AI engines at the prompt level, includes citation and sentiment analysis, and offers a 14-day free trial so you can start immediately. BrightEdge still leads for enterprise SEO analytics and board-level reporting. When AI visibility is your primary need, Trakkr is the strongest alternative on the market today.",

    {
      "question": "Can I run BrightEdge and an alternative together?",

      "question": "What is the best alternative for enterprise SEO features?",
