BrightEdge Connector

Intro

BrightEdge is a content marketing platform that transforms online content such as traffic, revenue, and engagement into tangible business results. Use Domo's BrightEdge connector to pull data on competitors, keyword rankings, and the like.

You connect to your BrightEdge account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the BrightEdge connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Best Practices

These reports can power cards individually, but oftentimes it is helpful to combine the reports using Magic ETL. This way you can look at things like your keyword ranks compared to your competitor ranks or evaluate the search volume of your top ranked keywords. For more information about Magic, see Magic Transforms.

Prerequisites

To connect to your BrightEdge account and create a DataSet, you must have a BrightEdge username and password.

V3 of the BrightEdge API must be enabled to access the connector. Domains must also be enabled for API V3.

Connecting to Your BrightEdge Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the BrightEdge Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your BrightEdge account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field	Description
Username	Enter your BrightEdge username.
Password	Enter your BrightEdge password.

Once you have entered valid BrightEdge credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new BrightEdge DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane
