Reviews
(51-75 of 113)Great SEO Tool!
- Prioritize Pages to Optimize
- Generate Reports
- Gain competitive insights
- I wish there was an easier way to monitor changes that are implemented with their out of the box solution. I know this is available as an add-on, but wish it was part of the regular package.
- Some suggestions are not always viable suggestions. This most related to Title Tag recommendations with product pages having multiple products listed.
Conductor Platform - More than just an SEO Tool
- 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 Conductor 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 Conductor.
- 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.
Shining the Light on Keyword Rankings with Conductor
- Formats information in a digestible way.
- Provides tools to dig deep into data to find solutions to pressing issues. Along with this, providing tools to come up with new ideas and solutions.
- Prioritizes customer service. Their team is diligent, responsive and incredibly good at what they do.
- It is sometimes difficult to find the data you are looking for.
Conductor Review
- Provide easy to understand graphs and visuals to help interpret the data.
- Present ranking data for keywords as well as specific page performance.
- Conductor provides a research tool to help identify opportunities for new content.
- Data is refreshed once a week. A daily refresh would be nice.
Great platform with exceptional support team!
- Conductor does a great job at providing insightful performance measures. The flexibility to view performance at a domain-level, page-level, category and keyword-level, and filter based on various KPIs, makes for a valuable tool.
- Conductor offers a user-friendly interface and caters to both SEOs and non-SEOs, with many options for views and reports.
- The integration process and trainings are intuitive and the team support exceeds expectations.
- Conductor can improve by setting more default options, to prevent the need to adjust filters and views.
Conductor Review
- Platform is very easy to use
- Wide variety of tools within the platform
- None
- Visibility Performance - Instead of just understanding your rankings for key terms understand how that changes over time. Google algorithms, changes in SERP behavior, competition, and other factors are all important to keep tabs on.
- Measuring Competition - While you don't want to drive efforts based on the competitive market, you want to stay abreast of changes.
- Services - This might be too advanced right now, but perhaps down the road. What if Conductor could consume a web site, determine the market, determine what strengths it could play on, and A/B split test some changes automatically and provide those results? A system that could determine actions, test them, and incrementally promote those improvements would be worth gold.
- The competitive intelliscope and market share views are extraordinarily valuable in understanding your position relative to the competition, especially when you have a mix of F500's and startups operating across similar thought spaces.
- The ability to create customer management reports is also valuable, as it allows you to tailer to the information that management cares about now, without chasing an agency or individual to provide that data.
- The biggest challenge in getting Conductor approved internally is cost. There are a lot of point solutions that can be piecemealed together. Implementation of the recommendations will always remain a challenge if you elect not to use professional services. There are some features of the platform that come at an additional cost vs. being included, though overall this is a minor gripe.
Conductor is a Best in Class Tool
- The tagging configuration and the ability to apply preferred URLs to keywords is essential to us. None of the main competitors to Conductor have functionality like this, and ensuring that the page we want to rank is the one showing up in SERPs is a huge benefit.
- The partnerships that Conductor has created are unparalleled by any other company in the industry. The ability to pull data from multiple (already utilized) tools makes it an extremely efficient, time-saving tool.
- A lot of the capabilities that the interface has are not available anywhere else (i.e. unlimited users, unlimited exports, useful site audits etc.). In addition to that functionality the team that we have worked with for on-boarding has been fantastic and extremely helpful.
- Due to the amount of keywords we need to track we have to spread them among multiple accounts, which makes reporting and dashboards a little more difficult. The team is helping us with that though.
- In some respects I think that the overall architecture of the interface could be tweaked to make it more intuitive. All the tools are great, but in some regards the naming conventions make it difficult to ascertain in advance exactly what type of data you will be given. This is especially true for users who aren't in the interface very often.
- There are some filter types that I would like to see developed by the team. Namely it would be nice to be able to filter based on preferred URL. Our content is so long tail and location based that we really need to know that the URL we are attempting to track is the one represented in the data.
Few Hiccups, but Best SEO Platform Out There Still
- The audience intent explorer is an invaluable tool for finding related topics and other content ideas.
- The prebuilt reports and goals in the platform are spectacular for providing holistic view of the aggregate ratings of clients' keyword profile.
- Workspaces allow for an easy way to build dashboards to easily get insights from the data allowed through the platform.
- Customer support is absolutely incredible and helps within seconds of reaching out.
- The way to perform bulk updates is a bit clunky by having to download the entire set and make manual changes in Excel.
- Not enough functionality having to do with backlinks and unlinked mentions for brands.
- Features like daily rankings tracking and Deepcrawl are an additional cost rather than being part of the platform.
Robust features & excellent support
- Page segmentation features
- Keyword monitoring
- Dashboard with key insights
- Competitor monitoring
- Manual keyword upload process
- Persona tracking
- Marketshare analysis
Great Value and Wonderful Team - You Won't be Disappointed.
- Any person that works in SEO should know three things: where you're winning, where you have opportunities to rank better, and how your competitors rank. Conductor rolls up all of those aspects in a friendly user experience. It's especially helpful if you're in a time crunch and people want to know information quickly. Conductor knows these are things you need.
- Implementation of the Search Console has been beneficial. This helps us to see how our rankings, versus our page consoles, work together. This is one of the reasons why Conductor sets itself apart. It does help us to see the information in a pared down manner in order to help us see our opportunities.
- The diversification of Workspaces allows anyone to custom use the tool. Every business has a different goal and being able to identify the needs based on that goal helps you decide where you can find the opportunities to help you win. It only takes a few seconds to set one in.
- I would like to see more in the area of backlinks and find out where the backlinks are coming from. This helps us to be able to disavow if we need to and identify the bad "endorsements".
- continuous website performance reporting
- historical data capture (traffic/sessions/keyword rank)
- market competition analysis
- content discovery and content strategy
- keyword rank performance
- desktop vs. mobile market share/rank performance
- National and Local SEO campaigns
- True rank indicators for additional rank types (ie. answer boxes, carousel images, etc.)
- Very strong capabilities in keyword discovery for rank tracking and content strategy
- Efficient and extremely effective competitor analysis features
- Visually appealing UI to quickly interpret keyword rank performance
- Powerful engine that aggregates multiple data sources to inform and develop a comprehensive SEO/Content marketing strategy
- Poor quality when exporting workspace reports
- Hard to bridge http/https data to review page rank performance at the keyword level
- I want more control over the workspace formatting, the options are currently limited
- I wish there was a normalizing factor to counter the wide ranking fluctuations seen from raw search rank data. The wide fluctuations happen often and are uncontrollable. Would be awesome to use past historical performance to set an average/normalizing factor for the extreme outliers
- have a dedicated budget to SEO/content marketing
- have a large website with many pages to keep track off
- have a specific product/service in a competitive industry
- large websites with a lot of content
- small companies with small websites
- companies that do not generate new site content regularly
- companies in low-competition industries
The preferred SEO tool packed with features!
Another use of Conductor is to compare performance against competitors via the Domain Explorer and Market Share features of the platform.
- Market Share Analysis
- Keyword Rank Tracking
- Content Performance Analysis
- User Interface (Switching between accounts)
- Ability to choose any day of for comparison (Instead of "Week Ending")
- Custom reporting workspace (Ability to resize/position charts and tables)
Conductor Review
- Keyword reports- this is a simple and concise visual for our customers to determine where they fall in the market share for their service.
- Support- several opportunities to ask for help.
- Bulk reports sent in one email
- More structured platform training
Great tool, better support.
- Advice from pro services team
- Bi-monthly calls with reps to go over details and answer questions
- Addition of the deep crawl service was huge
- The insight platform has been amazing!
- Filtering ability on recommendations
- Expanded localization abilities in all reporting
- Proactive recommendation of broken things on my site
Conductor - Great product for getting your foothold on overall SEO health and strategy
- Visually illustrates overall position health for specific groups of keywords in a way that is easy to understand.
- Tracks average page positions for all keywords appearing for specific landing pages so you can know if a specific change helped or hurt your rankings.
- Tracks the market share and page positions of your top competitors so that you have a clear idea what the cause for your loss of page positions are and what pages you need to optimize.
- Platform is easy to use and understand.
- SEO recommendations focus only on metadata improvements and completely neglects other more important factors for SEO health, such as paid load speed, responsive pages, etc.
- Although data pulled from Google Search Console is saved in platform, it cannot easily be manipulated for further analysis beyond average page position, total impressions, total clicks, and CTR.
- CS does not report overall search impressions for keywords, which is another important factor to overall organic traffic. We have had several instances where we were losing traffic not because of declining page positions but because overall interest in certain keywords was declining, and I only discovered this on my own through Google Trends.
Conductor finds the data *and* surfaces it for you!
- Identifies keywords driving traffic to your website (in many cases where Google Analytics has no data, Conductor has a lot)
- Surfaces areas of organic strength without requiring any digging on our part
- Customer service and onboarding - theirs is probably the best I've seen in SaaS
- The names for different reporting areas can be confusing and easy to forget if you're only in the platform once every few weeks
One issue we've struggled with at 451 this year is team downsizing and having enough time to devote to organic marketing in general (not just the platform), so I would caution anyone who's concerned about their inability to focus on organic from a bandwidth perspective. Conductor is a relatively expensive option compared to what else is in the market (with good reason, but expensive nonetheless) and for me, with less time to focus on organic, it's been hard to show our investment paid off this year.
Trusted Partner & Innovative Company
- Great technical support services
- The platforms is very intuitive and provides a good user experience
- Conductors affiliations and partners have helped
- Conductors partnerships have helped us reduce third-party tools and promote internal collaboration between teams
- The [platform] does have limitations from a back in management perspective. As in the ability to add or delete users and accounts, etc.
- Onboarding process took longer than expected.
Conductor is the best SEO platform in the market
- Presenting suggestions on how to better our ranking for keywords in an easily executable and digestible fashion
- Email subscription reports allow us to see on a high level how we are performing with our SEO strategy and notifys us of important movements in priority keywords
- They provide fantastic training to our employees to educate us on how best to use the tool and best practices in managing SEO
- Track competitors SEO changes and how it is influencing our keywords
- I have no suggestions for improvements, it's a great platform
A Comprehensive SEO Tool with Superior Customer Service
- Conductor provides a high degree of control on categorization of keywords and other data relevant to SEO efforts. This allows us to tag keywords and pages with multiple layers like priority, according to recent changes, and assumed funnel phase of the customer.
- Conductor makes it easy to adopt compared to other tools. The user interface is intuitive and organized by goal / intent in a way that makes it easy to train new users. They continue to innovate on the interface to make it easier to navigate and the knowledgebase is comprehensive and useful.
- Conductor has a lot of useful features, data partnerships, and integrations so that it's rare that one needs to leave Conductor to inform or report on SEO related work. This data is presented in insightful ways, like presenting sessions (from Google Analytics) of a particular page alongside keyword ranking growth of that URL. It's clear that Conductor strives to tell stories not just recall data, which is what our clients and ourselves need.
- As a multi-channel agency, the report builder and export functionality still leaves features to be desired. It exports only in PDF so we can't easily integrate it into PowerPoint presentations or Google slides where other channels like PPC aggregate their data. An Excel output of the visuals would provide a lot more control for us to get Conductor views into cross channel reports without needing to screenshot.
- The wysiwyg report builder can be hard to use when there's a long list of report blocks / elements. It could use a sidebar guide like PowerPoint to easily reorganize report elements. You're also unable to preview the export and awkward page breaks usually result.
- The homepage dashboard has gotten some recent updates to the Insights Stream. I would rather have a customizable dashboard for each profile so that I can see the most important metrics for each client, which usually varies by client. The Insight Stream calls out interesting changes sometimes but isn't easy to configure.
- Custom annotations is another feature that has been updated / removed in favor of automatic annotations where the system creates an annotation when a page element changes. This forces us out of the tool to leave annotations that are important but not related to site changes, like important points of seasonality or offline marketing efforts we know may affect SEO traffic.
Conductor - Insights into your organic competitors.
The platform is exclusively used by the Search Marketing team.
The main business question the tool is trying to address for us is that when there is a shift in ranking, is this shift exclusive to our brand or is it among our competitors as well? The tool also helps in discovery of new keywords in our industry that may be exclusively controlled by the competition.
- Tracking the competition's ranking against your own. You can see who is ranking on the terms you are concerned about and discover terms you might have realized are valuable.
- Deep Crawl analysis of the site to discover problematic pages. Each run can be archived and compared against previous crawls to show changes.
- Help team is always online and can typically answer any questions you have while using the platform. If the answer is not immediately available they can usually get back to you quickly.
- Backlink analysis is not present in the tool and should be. Without any backlink data, a user would have a tougher time doing any linking auditing or analyzing a competitor's portfolio.
- Some of the functions are not clear unless you have already practiced and familiarized with the platform. Having tool tips for the different functions would help.
- Better pre-built dashboards or tutorials with specific common use cases in mind.
For businesses that also want to grow their keyword list, Conductor can help the user discover and poach keywords that other businesses may be targeting either through a domain keyword analysis or a PPC ad report.
A great platform with an even greater company behind it
- Competitor tracking and market share analysis help us see trends in the market and uncover content gaps and opportunities.
- Keyword tracking, categorization, trends and ranking analysis helps us measure our success and find opportunities to improve.
- Creating reports is quick and easy, and with scheduled delivery I've been able to spend my time analyzing data to uncover insights, instead of cleaning data in Excel.
- The Customer Support team are rockstars. They know SEO and look for opportunities to help, keep an eye out for anomalies, and even onboard our new staff for us.
- Backlink monitoring is pretty basic. You'll still want another tool for any real backlink analysis.
- Bulk management of keywords, keyword categories, and content segments isn't always intuitive. I often end up in the wrong place in the settings for what I want to manage.
Conductor is fantastic at reporting. The reports are easy to build from any data within the platform, and can be emailed to anyone on any schedule. I used to spend hours every week in Excel collecting and cleaning data. Now I spend that time on analysis and finding great opportunities.
- User friendly platform that comes with extensive training to ensure optimal production.
- The insight stream allows me, as a manager, to view my team's progress and high level KPI's that are helpful when planning future campaigns, monitoring current content campaigns, and reassessing old content campaigns.
- Dedicated account reps, customer support, and professional services have all been key factors in the growth of our company.
- Needs more insight into social media
- Insight stream should be more visual and display snapshots and data trends
- Track and monitor organic growth
- Easily derive opportunities based on the type of result and ease of implementation
- Build workspaces to simplify reporting
- Expensive
- Other tools have better local search offerings, though Conductor is improving
