Conductor is TOPS!2018-12-17T17:35:18.725ZIn our current setting, we're utilizing Conductor Searchlight to better understand not only our current ranking on SERPs, but also to better understand our competition's standings on various SERPs. With this data, we're able to craft better content, develop better strategies, and make a deeper impact in our market. Being a home builder, we are constantly battling major national brands, but we also can't forget to track other more localized competitors; Conductor Searchlight helps keep us up-to-speed on who our biggest SEO competitors are and how to best grow our strategies to take them on.,The customer support team is absolutely the best in market. There's no other SEO organization that cares for its customers like Conductor.
Data is extremely easy to read. There's no confusing jargon to try and learn; relevant terms are kept clear, concise, and understandable. If you're not sure what something means, Conductor is great about teaching!
The data provided is so robust, yet isn't just "fluff." A lot of companies throw in things that sound really cool, but don't ultimately help you move the needle. Conductor keeps things relevant and on-task, leaving the "filler" to others.,Weekly or bi-weekly recurring calls with the account team would be nice. I'm sure this is probably possible, but we haven't pursued it as intentionally as we should, based on our current workload. They're always available when we have any questions or needs.,10,Content from Conductor is the most dependable out there; not only do they have their own proprietary software for SEO strategy, they incorporate real-time data directly from the top sources available. The way they've carefully crafted their abilities and presence is a direct testimony to how seriously they take themselves and their commitment to providing nothing but the best.
I know I can count on the data from Conductor Searchlight to always be timely, relevant, and accurate 100% of the time.,We've been able to better understand where our own web properties aren't optimized properly; it's also helped us strategize growth opportunities for next year, better understanding what areas we need to focus on as we add pages to our inventory.
It's helped us identify key players in our space, discovering new competitors we didn't realize were "winning" as well as they are, and also seeing how we measure up against the competition we already knew we had.
Conductor Searchlight has been a great tool for helping improve the quality of our company blog and other social content.,Being an extremely small team, we're able to hit the "heavy stuff" quickly and effectively, instead of having to spend a lot of time figuring out "What's our biggest need, and how do we approach it?" With each member of our Marketing & Traffic team wearing multiple hats, Conductor serves up the best info in a clear, readable way that is easy to share and understand, regardless of how well another team member "speaks SEO.",,10,10Brian CrumConductor Drives The Train of Success!2018-10-30T19:06:34.382ZOur team primarily uses Conductor Searchlight to monitor our content performance and to optimize our existing content with keyword suggestions. On a day-to-day basis, it is utilized by our marketing and website strategy team.
It solves several of our business problems. However, it is primarily used to help optimize our 2,100 product catalog with new keywords to aid our organic search results.,Customer Success - Every single interaction we have had with the customer success management team has felt seamless and productive.
Product Features - There are almost too many to feature. Whatever your strategy and set of objectives may be. There bound to be something in Searchlight to help you meet your end goals.
Ease of Use - The Searchlight interface is incredibly easy to pick up and use right away. The learning curve is not very steep and it caters to all SEO familiarity levels.,Frankly, the only thing I can think of us is that our team is too small to take advantage of all the features within Searchlight.,10,The data quality and quantity are both ideal for what our company needs. The sheer size and scope of the data allows us to take a macro-level 30,000 foot view at our business. Likewise, it allows us to further drill down to a very micro-level issue we're having with an individual product line.,For us, our organic search engine results and rich snippets have increased substantially in the short time we have used Searchlight.,Our team is very small and our SEO/content workflows overlap heavily. This is where Conductor Searchlight acts as an "extra" team member. It enhances, clarifies and multiplies our efforts of what we already do, manually. Our content strategy has essentially remained the same as before we got Searchlight. Only now, we are getting twice the results with half the effort.,,10,10Shawn RichardsonConductor Searchlight strikes the perfect balance between tool and partner2018-10-04T19:42:25.678ZConductor Searchlight has quickly become an essential tool for team members across our organization. Because of the versatility of the platform, teams with different objectives and areas of focus are able to leverage the data in ways that cater to their unique objectives, while being able to collaborate with other teams within a consistent framework. Our Content team is able to conduct audience and keyword research, our Product Marketing team is able to analyze and compare content segments to identify top performing products, and our Paid and Organic Search teams are able to quickly point out areas of light or overly saturated keyword coverage and create a more efficient search strategy.
Overall, this allows our organization to streamline our optimization efforts within one unified platform, which cuts down on inconsistencies, simplifies execution and reduces reliance on multiple technologies.,The Explorer tool integrates with multiple keyword databases, so the results are more comprehensive and representative of the true search landscape. It also provides important insight into the environment that surrounds the keywords or topics you search for, such as the stage in the customer journey that keyword best fits or the level of competition within the SERP that you can expect to go against. These are valuable features when determining which keywords to optimize your content for.
Knowing where you stand in relation to your competitors is important for understanding your path for growth, and the Market Share and Rank Comparison features within Conductor Searchlight allow you to determine the areas you dominate and areas of potential opportunity at a granular level.
The reporting feature allows you to quickly and easily compile notable performance shifts and disseminate these shifts to your team, along with analysis and relevant context. Keeping the larger organization abreast of your efforts allows everyone to benefit from the optimizations you make, and Searchlight makes this process easy.,I truly enjoy this platform. There was a learning curve when I first began using Searchlight, but the excellent and well-organized training sessions that Conductor provides alleviated the stress of mastering the technology.
Conductor has a massive suite of features, and depending on the needs of your business, you may or may not need all of these features. Identify the key areas of support that you are looking for, and work with the sales team to customize a solution that works best for you.,10,Conductor Searchlight has the benefit of having both a massive keyword database and integration with trusted resources like SEMRush and Deep Crawl. This allows our organization to fully trust the data that we obtain from Searchlight, and we can be confident that we are utilizing the most complete data as we make our optimizations. This is vital for the reliability and success of our content and SEO strategy.,The Recommendations tool has helped our organization to quickly and easily identify the quick wins that we can implement to influence our rankings, as well as those longer-term optimizations that we can integrate into our future efforts.
Conductor Searchlight has several avenues for measuring ROI and identifying the potential financial impacts of specific optimizations, which is excellent for presenting comprehensive business cases to key stakeholders.,By providing a single platform that allows for research and measurement, our Content team and our SEO team are able to collaborate throughout the optimization process. As Content conducts audience and keyword research, those keywords can be tracked and measured by our SEO team, and key metrics can be followed to observe performance. This workflow allows the teams to remain in sync throughout their individual projects, which cuts down on miscommunication and redundancies.,BrightEdge,7,10Cameron MuirConductor Searchlight Platform - More than just an SEO Tool2018-09-10T17:23:55.945ZSearchlight's platform is easy to use and set up for clients. Currently, the SEO department leverages Searchlight for keyword rankings, reporting, competitor data, content marketing and more. The data it provides helps in making strategic decisions on how to improve our client's SEO campaign, increase brand awareness and revenue, leads, etc. Searchlight integrates with Google Analytics and Google Search Console to help tie back all the data in one platform and integrate it into monthly SEO reports for example.
Their customer service is top notch and easy to use. Their chat feature provides support when you need it. Their staff is very helpful and if they don't know the answer, they always follow up with me on the same day.,Their keyword rankings are very helpful in determining if our SEO campaign is working. Having tools that provide fresh content ideas is also helpful for writing blog articles.
Their competitor tools help in identifying keywords or areas where our clients are being outranked. The Explorer feature allows you to find out which keywords competitor websites are ranking for. This is great for keyword research and to get an idea of industry specific jargon that may be overlooked in keyword research.
The organic/paid search section optimizer is also great for gaining insights between organic and paid search.
Their reporting is easy to use and provides high-level views as well as getting granular depending on who your audience is.,Conductor offers weekly tracking for keyword rankings for entry level. They do offer daily tracking as well however it's an additional charge. Would be nice if you had the choice for either option without having to upgrade.
I think additional SEO tools should be added to Searchlight to avoid having to use 3 other tools for example. Currently, for backlink audits or technical audits, I have to use other vendors. I would love to see the data in Searchlight
Their platform is easy to use however the menu options change often and some features that I've leveraged on a daily basis have different functionality or are taken away altogether which can be frustrating.,10,I value Conductor's data and rarely see any anomalies between the data and what I'm seeing in the search engines for example. I often use screenshots from Searchlight's platform in presentations and then go to Google to perform the search. While they are sometimes a few positions off, the data is pretty much on target. This is extremely important since we can tell clients their keywords are ranking on page one of Google however if the client is searching and not seeing it, this could negatively impact the confidence our clients have in our work. Of course there are times for reasons such as geo-targeting for example where rankings could differ, we would explain this to our clients.,Our customers see the positive difference in keyword rankings and in turn see visits increase to the website, more phone calls or orders for example. Depending on the vertical of course.
We leverage Searchlight in business development presentations and many prospects are familiar with the platform.
Reporting is easy to set up and provides a clear picture on performance from the start of an SEO campaign to current day.,The content performance and explorer features allow us to look for new and relevant topics to write about for our blog articles or any other pages that are being added on the website. Having these features has had a positive effect on aiding our writers to research topics, gain insight and determine if the topic is something that should be written about.,,10,10Vito AltamuraBest of the Breed for Enterprise SEO Platform Selection2018-12-20T18:06:52.028ZWe use Searchlight for just about everything we do with SEO/SEM: competitive analysis, keyword research, keyword performance, content performance tracking and reporting, SEO dashboard, technical SEO, link opportunity research...etc. I also worked with Conductor's customer success manager closely on ad-hoc reports, SEO campaigns, root cause analysis...etc.,The onboarding process was very well organized. Within a month we finished the training for the core team members, had an SEO dashboard completed that covers all important reports that we needed, keyword selection was done, keyword groups and content groups were done. We started rocking and rolling now.
After the onboarding process, we start engaging with the customer success manager to work on SEO operations. We had a few high priority projects/campaigns that required some assistance from the customer success manager. He was very patient and share many good ideas and tools that I could use to do the job. He even ran the extra mile to help me run some ad-hoc reports to get the data that I was looking for.
The insight stream is very helpful to keep me alerted to the ups and downs of our SEO performance.
The content performance annotation is instrumental for me and the web team to stay on track with the website changes and SEO performance.
Most of the reports allow me to drill down to the details. That is extremely helpful for us to deep-dive into the data. It is like having all data at my fingertips.
Conductor Searchlight has the live chat support that you do not see from other vendors. It is very helpful and very convenient. Whenever you run into question about using the tool help is just one click away.,The insight stream has much good insight every day. It is hard to keep up with it. Currently getting a weekly digest only. I would like to be able to set up a daily email alert.,10,We used to rely on Google search console to report some key data, such as impression and click through. However, Google will only keep the data for a few months. It was impossible to trace the historical data too far back. Conductor is able to download the data locally. Now with Conductor Searchlight, we can keep the data for much longer. It is important for us to identify schematic related keywords. I had used several other tools to do keyword research, and I found Conductor's data has the best quality.,One of my top priority projects was to improve our pages for a specific high-value keyword for the industry. I worked with the customer success manager brainstorming ideas. We worked on the game plan together. He had many good suggestions and taught me to use different tools for some specific tasks. We had the game plan completed and started to execute. Within a few weeks, I saw the ranking of our content was turning around and improving
Link building is an important part of our SEO strategy. Our contract with Conductor bundles with a tool called LinkResearchTool. Our customer success manager took the time to train me how to use it, and recommended the features that can help us to achieve what we were looking for. We used it to do competitor analysis and link opportunities identification. He also provided some good suggestions about how to implement. I found it very helpful.
I found Conductor's insight stream was really helpful. Several times the insight alert help me catch the opportunities that I may have missed or alerted me to the thread that I should not miss.,Content is key to our SEO strategy. It is very important to collaborate with extended team members, such as product marketing, social media, writers, PR...etc. However, our extended team members do not necessarily have the same understanding of the value, function of SEO and how they can contribute and make an impact on our SEO strategy and the company's revenue. We are still working on it. To begin with, the collaboration with the team and data is a very important tool. Conductor Searchlight has many good reports that I can use to show and compare ourselves and our competitors. It shows the SEO work we have done and how it impacts our lead generation effort.,BrightEdge, SEMRush and Moz,9,9Daniel Chan
