Excellent Content Development Resource
We are currently using Conductor Searchlight on our Marketing and eCommerce teams for content development and targeted marketing efforts. Conductor Searchlight has saved us a lot of rework time by showing us where
we’re winning and how our pages/content is stacking up against others in those
search categories. It’s also allowed us to see exactly where we need to improve
and spend those man-hours to make the greatest impact on reaching our
customers.

- The "Research" section of the platform is where I spend the bulk of my time because it allows me to pull keywords and look at them in a variety of ways they are being used in search terms. Once I have a broader picture of how users are searching for a particular product or trend, I can then write my content in a more targeted way that will hopefully create a stronger organic pull to those pages.
- The "Report" section is fantastic because it allows our internal team or our Conductor account team to pull together information that we need quickly. It's also done in a way that makes things easier to understand for people who are not familiar with the platform when these reports are discussed.
- In what I use Searchlight for there's not really a lot of cons.
- Our wider team would like to see more integrations for the platform to increase their ease of use.
Conductor Searchlight is mainly used by myself as I oversee our organic search program for all of our brands. Our content team also uses Conductor, but what I really like about the tool is its ease of use and that it is easy to understand the data. It's a large tool, so it definitely takes a little while to get used to. I like that my team at Conductor is always available to answer questions.
- Keyword ranking and analysis
- Competitive analysis and marketshare
- Provides excellent customer service
- Pricing is a little expensive

- Aggregated keyword rankings.
- Result types.

Conductor Searchlight Truly Sheds Light on SEO!
Conductor Searchlight is being used by our Marketing department, specifically our Digital Marketing Team. Our original intention in pursuing a partnership with Conductor Searchlight was based out of a need to be able to effectively identify what our competitors were doing to beat us to page one of Google for specific search terms.
We also had a need to identify gaps and holes in our online content strategy. Conductor Searchlight not only shows us what our competitors are doing to win at SEO, but it also gives recommendations on how to take action on the opportunities that are within striking distance. We did not have the budget to hire a team of people to do what Conductor Searchlight can do for a fraction of the cost.

We did not have the budget to hire a team of people to do what Conductor Searchlight can do for a fraction of the cost.
- Recommendations, in my opinion, are the best thing about Conductor Searchlight. The recommendations dashboard gives my team ideas for quick wins with SEO, which saves me time from having to manually mine data to determine in on my own.
- Competitor analysis is essential to how we use Conductor Searchlight. Being able to identify what our competitors are ranking for specific search terms in specific regions is crucial to making good SEO decisions.
- The explorer tool is great for planning new content ideas. The data that it provides saves so much time when determining what keywords to target for new content.
- Set up time is a bit long, but the great thing is you know that the Conductor team is working hard to get it set up right the first time around. Measure twice, cut once.
- The platform is very robust and can be overwhelming for non-tech savvy people. Although the platform is user-friendly and designed well, the learning curve is quite steep.
- Training was quick and to the point. I wish it has been a little longer and more in-depth.

Conductor SEO and Content Platform -- Best of Breed for 2019
Conductor is easily the best SEO and content platform we have used. Its interface is fluid and user-friendly, and the team provides excellent support services to us. The platform showcases everything you would need all under one roof. Whether you want real-time data on competitors at a page or domain level, or want to know how to leverage optimizing your content for getting into the all-important quick answer boxes, event featured snippets, or people also ask boxes, this platform tells you how to do it! It provides the most comprehensive aggregation of data. It pulls in Google Analytics, Search Console, Social Metrics, Sentiment tracking, Google trends, and all the things you would expect. It also partners with DeepCrawl and SEMRush to give you the most cutting edge technical SEO torchlight to shine on your site health issues. The managed services afford an amazing and deep technical site audit, and I have seen a lot! The support to our teams is amazing, and Conductor are constantly evolving the platform with their cool new beta roll outs. It really is the best of the breed in 2019. It also allows for better and easy digestible reporting for keyword tracking, competitor tracking, cannibalization, on page diagnosis and fixing, PPC and organic -- under one view! :)
- Support and Services: if you have different teams - it's hard for you to manage everyone's needs at once. Conductor does their bit in giving your teams and publishers support.
- Data integration: it's the best experience ever. Quick, precise, and also adding value.
- Cutting edge tools: content brief, content mapping, market share analysis, and the AMAZING explorer research tool, which is the BEST on the market today to research your topics and content!
- Slightly better keyword segmentation.

Strongly suited for enterprise SEO/organic collaboration
Conductor is leveraged across digital marketing, editorial, product, and technology teams. Sotheby's has leveraged a combination of Conductor's Searchlight platform to effectively support a shift to a more proactive approach to consumer-oriented marketing and product development as well as assist in a complete web front end re-platform/re-launch effort.
- Excellent search/keyword data.
- Ease of use/accessible to non-technical team members.
- Would be great to be able to better integrate data into other martech/CDP ecosystems.
- Should be able to easily toggle between daily, monthly, annual, etc. keyword/topic tracking timeframes.
Our whole SEO team uses Conductor Searchlight. About 6 people in the agency use it. We use it for easy-to-see rank tracking primarily. We have many spreadsheets that we set up so we can v-lookup a large set of keyword ranks and do MoM and YoY rank comparisons, movements, etc. The market share feature is also useful.
- The ability to isolate answer boxes in the ranking analysis is excellent.
- The market share pie charts are a great way to get at-a-glance industry positioning.
- I appreciate the interface of the main rankings where you can click Top 5 and Did Not Rank, etc, toggling for each date range.
- It's easy to add or revise keyword lists without requesting help from the company.
- The "Activity Stream" homepage on each account has these widgets that were meant to be interesting insights, but I rarely found them useful.
- It is way too hard to use Conductor with an account that uses various markets (countries). You have to reload the whole interface for each country, which is very burdensome for some accounts with 15 or so countries -- reporting is almost impossible like this.
- I don't like that Conductor only uses Google data -- even though Bing/Yahoo and other engines are the vast majority, there are still trends to see there.
- I wish there was more focus on changes in search volume -- that would be nice to see any alerts about volume change.
Our digital team is trained in using the tool and share the information with other departments. We're using Conductor to see what users are searching for, high performing keywords, maximizing our content, and researching our competitor's performance. The tool provides many insights into how well we're performing and we're able to customize the performance metrics to fit our needs.
- See how competitors rank in detail.
- Market research on high performing topics to generate new content.
- Additional insights.
- Incorporate paid media.
We use the platform in order to look into our SEO efforts.
- Competition Research: an easy look at the market share of competitors
- Keyword Research: robust keyword reporting tools with segmentation available
- Actionable Insights: insights into ways to optimize on-page SEO
- Chart Labels: some charts don't have easy-to-find labels which can make interpreting the data difficult.
Conductor Searchlight is used mostly by the SEO team. The PPC team and analytics team would use it from time to time as well to do some research and check the reports. We also use it to share the reports with other stakeholders who do not have an account in the conductor platform. We are using it on our day to day work, and the key items we are addressing are:
- Identify new opportunities
- Competition analysis
- Measure the success
- Their support team is the best! Always online to answer questions and guide us in the right direction.
- The Explorer tool - Very easy and intuitive tool to identify new opportunities, check on overall domain performance and how it does compare to competitions.
- Content Performance - The tool I like the most because it can analyze the organic traffic performance of a page, group of pages based on tour own custom settings. This helps me to understand where I need to focus and how to prioritize my SEO work.
- Daily updated for tracked keywords - This is the only area I think they need to improve. With many Google updates, website changes happening every day I need to see the impact the next day if not right away.
Our SEO and content team use this platform to track keyword performance against our competitors, as well as to find new keywords to write content around.
- Keyword ranking.
- Content performance.
- Competitive analysis.
- Customer support.
- The platform has a lot of features which can be overwhelming and hard to find at times.

VersaDesk Stands Up For Conductor Searchlight
Currently we use Searchlight across 2 of our main brands (VersaDesk & GLAMMY Vanity). We use it to analyze keyword rankings for our main products and other web pages we want to make sure show up on the first page. We make adjustments when necessary based on the information that we obtain from the platform. Additionally we use it to find keywords and topics for creating new informational web pages about our products and blog posts that educate them about the life style around our products.
- Keyword ranking - getting stats weekly on what keywords we are ranking for on 1st page and what the rank changes are is very useful insights that I don't even have to go look for. Wonderful that they are just delivered to my inbox.
- Content Improvement Suggestions - this is great for when you know you want to keep improving but need some thought starters on where to start.
- Account Success team is very hands on and informative. Having this hands on help that's essentially an extension of our team has been very helpful in getting us adjusted to the platform and helping guide us to sections of the platform we could be utilizing more. They also come up with great suggestions.
- I love the platform , but there is a lot happening on each page that sometimes causes you to take moment to find what you are looking for.

Great Enterprise SEO Platform

Conductor Searchlight - More than an SEO platform
Conductor Searchlight is used by our digital marketing teams as one of the main resources of information for all Bitdefender's domains.

- Content and Keyword Performance facilities - great for tracking content performance and identifying opportunities for new content
- Explorer - great tool for keyword research and competitive analysis
- Support Teams - always there, helping the customers
- Accessibility analysis and recommendations will be a great facility to have

Delighted with Conductor Searchlight
Our content team uses Searchlight to form the basis of our weekly editorial calendar. The technical site auditing tools have proven invaluable to our Web team for the ability to easily identify on-page technical SEO issues. The regular calls with our professional services team, where we discuss not only high-level concepts, but also proactive recommendations, are also extremely helpful.
- Keyword word analysis: The keyword tools enable us to identify topics that our audience is actually searching for.
- On-page auditing: We can quickly identify technical issues.
- Professional services: We particularly enjoy working with Conductor's professional services team to form the basis of our SEO strategy.
- ROI takes approximately 9-12 months.

I would recommend Searchlight to all SEO's!

It is extremely intuitive and the training videos are great for anyone new to the platform who is looking to get familiar and become a pro user of the tool.

- Can be complex when navigating from feature to feature.

Great SEO platform for insights and valuable data
Conductor Searchlight helps our organization review keyword performance, content performance, and market share. We have found it valuable when looking at/identifying areas to optimize. My specific department was not previously using any SEO platform; when we began to use Searchlight, we really found this data valuable especially since it was data that we had not been looking at before. We utilize the data provided in the tool to monitor areas that we have optimized and identified areas that we can take action to help improve, specifically keyword rank and view page sessions over time. The tool is also used across several different teams, who can pull different valuable and actionable data from it.
- Provides data in an easy and digestible way.
- Provides graphs and charts to support data.
- Provides the ability to create custom workspaces.
- There is a lot of (useful data) but it can be overwhelming to narrow down.
