CognitiveSEO vs. Conductor

CognitiveSEO is a very useful tool for any company looking to boost its marketing effort substantially. While telemarketing is an excellent way to generate new business, online marketing campaigns are crucial in today's society when it comes to prospecting for new business opportunities. Occasionally it can be difficult to reach new audiences who are in fact an appropriate fit for the products you offer. CognitiveSEO helps you target market those audiences and utilize the most out of your marketing efforts.

If you are an enterprise-level organization, this is an excellent tool for everyone from the SEO manager and Content Director to the daily SEO practitioner within the organization. I want to spearhead a wider adoption of the tool across the organization because the ability to collaborate on SEO-specific tasks inside the platform seems like a great feature, but I want to explore it more in-depth. If you are at a small or medium size organization or work in an agency, this tool is far too expensive to make financial sense at that scale.

• The interface can be clunky
• It's a bit too all-in-one for me as I use other solutions for features like rank tracking and mentions
• You are unlikely to use all the features you are paying for

Incentivized

• I would like to see a feature to manage the backlink disavow list through search console. If Conductor is able to add this, we may be able to drop one of our other tools and save some money in that area.
• Conductor has a lot of features and can be a bit overwhelming. It is a strength and a weakness, as it takes time to learn all that is available.
• Another feature I would like to see is more integration with GA, we leverage creating annotations in GA and it would be great to have those pulled into the Conductor dashboard automatically.

I appreciate the great customer support and unlimited seats. The company seems to have a lot of big plans and received a lot of investment this year to be able to fulfill those big plans so I’m willing to stick it out. That and moving everything would be annoying.

I check features like the InsightStream every Monday to monitor any major losses or gains in performance. These are easily digested and save me tons of time searching for these insights manually. If there's anything "worth calling home about" I can easily add insights into a workspace and create a report to communicate these results. It's super easy to use Conductor with a team and across departments.

Always works when I've needed it

They do not respond quickly to any questions or the one time I had an issue. I had resolved the issue myself before they gave a response

Half the reason we signed on for the tool was because of the support and account rep meetings. The Conductor team is responsive, personable, well versed in all things SEO, and consistently looking forward with proactive solutions and new ideas that compliment our business goals. On-boarding was easy, the Conductor team did the heavy lifting making adoption of the tool smooth and fun.

Our in house SEO manager trained everyone. It was easy to learn and he was well versed with the product. Any questions we had he was able to answer or reach out to support to find the answer

I definitely recommend their professional services for getting started. It got our account 90% of the way to where we needed to be in order to gain value from it. In fact, I'd suggest that with few exceptions (such as, you have a staff that is already familiar with the platform and doesn't need any help), the quick start services over the first 30-90 days should be a standard part of onboarding with any new client. It definitely got us to the point of gaining ROI from the solution and, in turn, will make it easier to justify renewal and continued investment in it.

CognitiveSEO specializes in target marketing for more efficient marketing campaigns and lead generation. While I am not too familiar with other competing products, I would highly advise using CognitiveSEO above all due to the efficiency, turnaround time, and customization features to attract new leads based on specific criteria that relate to your products and daily procedures.

We switched from BrightEdge mainly due to my recommendation based on my past experience with Conductor. The main reason was the advancements in technology that Conductor had demonstrated during our initial conversations. We were certain that the tool simply had more to offer and the team at Conductor is always looking to improve and grow.

• Made progress for the untapped Keywords where our competitors were ranking, So competitive analysis helped in making business decisions like adding new pages on the site to drive more traffic.
