Reviews
(26-50 of 113)Conductor for the Digital Marketing Leader
- Ability to use DeepCrawl to see if there are any glaring issues with the technical foundation of your site.
- Ability to create dashboards for different target keyword categories to determine SEO effectiveness from new pieces of content.
- Online training program that goes through the basics of SEO, but also gives a good reference in case you forget where certain tools are.
- There are some international domains that aren't trackable yet, but they're slowly adding them.
- Navigation menu may get a little confusing, but you'll get used to it over time.
- Some dashboards aren't as user friendly as you'd like.
Using Conductor within a SaaS company
- Keyword ranking monitoring.
- Competitive analysis for keyword rankings.
- Customer service.
- Conductor API since some of the data that is received is hard to parse.
- If you use the system with geo-TLDs and have a lot of keyword crossover between regions, the keyword setup can be confusing.
- I love how I can look at source URLs in Conductor and find out WHERE bad links are coming from. It's so much more helpful than Google Search Console.
- I can see all of a site's issues at a glance, and drill down into details easily so that I can follow up on them quickly.
- I can request a Competitor Analysis that will help me understand my competition better and make adjustments on the fly.
- I'd like to be able to generate Marketplace reports on demand, rather than request them.
- There doesn't seem to be a place to see what I've requested via Marketplace. I have had to rely on emails. There really should be a dashboard for this. If one exists, it should be listed under "Marketplace".
- Increase the number of keywords you can track, domains, etc. per account.
It's also excellent for keyword research and offers really robust features. If you want a good idea of your site's visibility, Conductor has a ton of tools for this--Market Share, Rank Comparisons, Keyword Performance, Visibility Comparisons, Result Types, etc. I do not personally use the visibility tools in my position, but I have browsed them and can see that Conductor offers quite a lot of useful tools to fine-tune keywords.
Outstanding determination to help their customers succeed!
- Customer success.
- Content creation.
- Content optimization.
- YouTube video performance.
- Social media integrations.
Unmatched Value.
It is currently "owned" by the Marketing department, but we are looking to expand SEO knowledge to other departments so that they understand how it affects their business lines and scope. We are training them first on the SEO basics, and then eventually the platform.
This helps the managers in turn, educate our Agents and their clients on our strengths vs any competitor.
- Track overall ranking at a high-level that can be drilled down of your entire website.
- Great support team with regular calls.
- Strong tool to provide opportunities for content marketing.
- Competitive analysis in the SEO/SEM space.
- Always innovating and integrating with other tools.
- None at the moment. Maybe price? Something can always be cheaper!
- Would love a simple tool that helps me find every page on the site that displays a certain word or phrase.
A less-suited example is where they will track performance of SEM (paid search for keywords). Although that will eventually happen I'm sure.
Great experience all around
- Researching & tracking keywords
- Content analysis
- Visibility into rankings
- Cross channel reporting (paid/organic/social)
- YouTube SEO
- International search engines
- Generates customer intent insights that lead to compelling content
- Generates increasing traffic
- Higher organic marketing ROI
- Easy to use
- Provides demographic info
SEO in the Time of Cholera
- 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.
Great SEO Tool
- See how competitors rank in detail.
- Market research on high performing topics to generate new content.
- Additional insights.
- Incorporate paid media.
I would recommend Conductor to all SEO's!
- Content creation and keyword research.
- Tracking content performance and recommendations.
- Reporting of SEO efforts and rankings.
- Can be complex when navigating from feature to feature.
- May take time for new SEOs to be familiar with what feature does what.
Great Enterprise SEO Platform
- Tracking HTML changes and the impact on ranking.
- DeepCrawl integration provides a very detailed analysis of the technical aspects of our SEO efforts.
- The support that Conductor provides is some of the best I have encountered. They make themselves very accessible for questions and support.
- Navigating through the different areas can be a bit cumbersome.
- The platform is pricey but in line with competitors.
ASME Loves Conductor!
- The platform is so easy to use and understand
- The support is incredible -- I can reach out to any team member and get a clear answer to my question; our regular calls are also really helpful
- Conductor takes feedback VERY well; I remember seeing some things in development now that came from the NorthEast User Group
- This is wildly specific, but I'd love some automatic custom reporting
- Within the workspaces too, I'd like a cleaner integration with Google Docs/Sheets
VersaDesk Stands Up For Conductor
- 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.
It would be less appropriate for a team that does not have have the bandwidth to be in the platform and utilize it. That is where I would suggest managed services.
Conductor makes my job easier
- Identifying the content opportunity.
- Rank monitoring and alerts in changes.
- Innovative technology (launches updates often).
- I would like to see downloadable PDFs or more ways to share information found within the platform.
Conductor is more of a partnership than a tool.
- Customer Service. By far what they offer is the best. I have access to a team and their calendars. So when I need to set up a meeting I know when they are available. They are easy to talk to and help me work through any problem I might be having.
- Reports. I've seen reports by some of their competitors and quite honestly wasn't sure what I was looking at. But Conductors reports can be streamlined to fit several different audiences and I can email them out (automatically) whenever I want to whomever I want, whether they are a Conductor user or not.
- Competitive Analysis. I've not done a lot of comparison with other vendors, but I like the convenient, straightforward way Conductor shows your competitors and how they are ranking in comparison to you. You have control over your competitors and can change them when needed.
- Site Analysis. Conductor uses DeepCrawl for its site analysis. While this is a powerful tool that helps me know everything wrong with my website like - no titles, short descriptions, no Alt tags, etc - the amount of information can be overwhelming. Initially, I had thousands of errors I was trying to fix using DeepCrawl - it was difficult to know what I had corrected and what still needed to be corrected without doing another crawl. It would be helpful if there was a way to check off things that had been fixed as I was working through the list.
- Conductor does a great job training. First, they introduced me to Conductor and walked me through everything, and helped me create workspaces and set up reports. Then we moved on to the site analysis with DeepCrawl. Because I had so much work to do from the site analysis it was a while before I got back into Conductor. I had forgotten much of the training by that point. But the team is helping me get back into the flow of things again. They are great like that!
Great SEO Platform
- An all in one solution.
- Helpful for insights into many decisions for paid advertising campaigns.
- Going through the on-boarding and training process in Conductor takes some time, just because the platform is very in-depth.
Always looking for more insights with Conductor!
- The Content Performance tool allows me to view what effect my content is having on my site and what pages are being viewed, clicked on and interacted with the most.
- DeepCrawl allows me to view my site as an engine would and points any issues that I need to address immediately on a monthly basis
- The Managed Services team is spot on in helping me see other issues that I may have missed in my study and is always willing to provide some help in other aspects of job.
- I feel that the paid & organic optimizer section needs some work to help with the research, needs to be a bit more functional I believe.
- If there is a backlink tool, I have not seen it. It is something I would definitely like to use.
- A social SEO optimizer would also be of some great help.
Helps us make strategic decisions while making my job easier!
- My favorite part of Conductor is the reporting features. I can't speak highly enough of the reporting. Before Conductor, we didn't have much visibility into how our efforts were affecting our site traffic and rankings, but now, showing the leadership team that the marketing team is doing a good job is easy! I just forward our executive team the weekly reports and they seem to love it too!
- The account management team has been beyond helpful throughout the entire engagement. They have been responsive to all of our needs and questions even after our account was set up. Their expertise is beyond valuable and they help us think creatively on ways to use the platform we aren't currently using.
- One of the best parts of Conductor is the ease of use for users of all experience levels. We have beginners and experts using the platform alike and it seems to be a great fit for everyone.
- Conductor's Explorer feature makes it easy for us to develop new content. Before we were manually searching for topics to write about, now it's easier than ever.
- We track backlinks every week for our executive team, Conductor doesn't have an easy way right now to find this information. However, our account management team has been fantastic and has been providing this information for us every week.
- Getting set up in Conductor is time consuming and takes some effort internally, but is primarily done by the Conductor team. It may be worth having longer strategy sessions with the teams for a shorter implementation time.
- Market Share only shows your market share within your tracked keywords. I think it would be beneficial to see how we rank against our competitors on keywords we're not tracking. This may expose some keywords we're not tracking that we should be tracking.
Drastically Improved Our SEO Efforts & Content Creation
- The Explorer feature is a great resource for me to use whenever I am creating new content. Conductor allows me to go in and search keywords to see if the content I would like to create is popular among searches and tells me if this is something we should be focusing on or not.
- The Content Performance tool is a great resource for me to use whenever I am managing and creating new content. We always want to make sure that we are creating new and exciting content that is performing well on our site among customers, and the Content Performance tool lets me see which pieces are doing well and which pieces are not. This tool also shows me the organic performance of our content over time and allows me to track that as well.
- The Keyword Performance tool is also a great resource to use whenever I am looking to create new content. The "Striking Distance" and "Dropped Off First Page" features are great resources for me to use to see which content I need to focus on to gain traction for different keywords.
- I think the content map feature has a lot of room for growth. The content mapping feature is a great feature but I think there should be an easier way to edit the content within the map once it is already created and segmented. It would be nice to be able to drag and drop pieces of content into different stages of the buyers journey within the map.
No Other tool Like Conductor on the Market
Conductor is our most vital tool for our company’s SEO efforts. Our team uses and implements finds from Conductor heavily. It has been useful with streamlining our SEO initiates and helping with our content marketing strategy.
Overall, Conductor has allowed our company to gain significant market share over our competitors.
- User-friendly UI and powerful tool that has streamlined our SEO efforts
- Great reporting tool
- Helps us understand our market share on the SERPs
- Learning curve when first starting out using the platform
- Can't dig deep into backlink building
Conductor guiding a transportation company.
- Easy to navigate dashboard that turns complex data into digestable and actionable information.
- Automated and customizable workspaces that make annual reports a breeze.
- Being able to easily explore what content topics are trending or related to pieces you already developed.
- Our bi-weekly strategy calls are both fun and extremely helpful.
- World class customer service. I cannot explain how amazing this company is.
- Ability to filter out non feasible recommendations (adding a long tail keyword to your blog home page URL for example)
A little set up goes a long way
- Reports are incredibly easy to read
- Competitive analysis through Conductor is addicting!
- All Conductor employees I have interacted with have been extremely helpful and kind.
- Recommendations are not always helpful/accurate.
- There are so many features, it's hard to keep track of.
- Sometimes features are renamed and hard to find.
A great SEO platform, guidance needed
- Robust reporting that is easily customized
- Excellent competitor reporting that is a must-have
- Depth and breadth of information
- The on-boarding process is less than ideal. We were on-boarded in an off-schedule manner, meaning that we had certain meetings go out of order. I do NOT recommend this approach as it had our team confused and we lost valuable time
- Only use their managed services team if you have to. We did, as we were down an SEM specialist at the time, but we were rushed through the implementation, rushed to make decisions, and rushed to be off-boarded. The least positive experience with the team.
- While the depth and breadth of data is positive, it can also be a negative as it is overwhelming, especially as the team is first getting up and running.
Need winning SEO? Look no further. Conductor is TOPS!
- 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.
When you sign with Conductor, get ready: you've got some serious data coming your way! If you aren't going to leverage a lot of SEO data in your strategy, they're not for you. If you're ready to truly start creating SEO strategy that WINS, start the conversation now! You won't regret it!
Best Vendor I've Ever Worked With (Seriously!)
- Everyone I've worked with at Conductor has been kind, friendly, and genuinely happy to help. They make sure you understand the tool and what it means without dumbing it down -- no matter the level you're at. I know that's not specific to Conductor, but I have to shout out my team! AJ, Mike, and Derek especially.
- Conductor itself is intuitive and easy to use -- the graphics are pleasant and get the point across, which can be hard when you're looking at a lot of data. Someone is always available to help if you don't understand something. I love that I can organize data into work spaces, which can be easily shared with higher-ups who need to digest information fast.
- Also not specific to the platform, but rather Conductor itself: I was recently invited to a session for "power users," where we were able to talk directly with product designers about what's coming down the pipeline, and I felt that our feedback was really listened to. Decision-makers wanted to hear what we need, and I believe they'll implement it.
- The only thing I could criticize is that SEO in general can be really hard for non-technical employees to grasp, and there's not much in the way of very very basic information -- Conductor assumes you have some knowledge.
- I would also LOVE if Conductor had premade, customizable templates for data (right now I get that from my team) built in.
