What we found wasn’t pretty. We’ll go into specific examples later on, but here are some of the general findings:

There are too many search marketing tool roundups. There, I said it! I know because before writing this post, I researched other ones like it. Paid search tools kept coming up in our recent eBook on Expert PPC Tips, and I figured there must be some centralized resource about the available set of options.

Hello! My name is Todd, the product designer here at BrandVerity. I'm really excited to share a product design update that we are launching today!

As a designer, I'm constantly looking for ways to improve our customers’ experience within our app. I'm passionate about making BrandVerity easier to use because I recognize how busy you are. That's why I tackled this redesign - to make it easier for you to navigate, scan, and take action within BrandVerity.

Our design aesthetic has always emphasized a key strength of ours: quality data. We’re proud to provide you with trustworthy, actionable data, and we’ve taken a minimalist approach to design for that very reason. This redesign builds on that focus, improving clarity and making it easier than ever for you to find information and take action. So, here’s what’s new!
