(76-100 of 113)Long Time Agency User's Review of Conductor
- Visibility explorer - being able to view the rankings of our clients on a weekly basis is very helpful
- Content insights - being able to correlate high traffic and engaging content with the keywords that drive that engagement and traffic is highly valuable
- Domain Explorer - we are able to get keywords and high ranking content from any competitor
- Time frames could be more flexible. For example in audience search engagement, you can view keyword data by week, but there is no way to look at a monthly range or all cumulative activity. There may be some valuable keyword data that is hard to identify when there is only a week of data.
- I would love to see more customization in terms of how data is viewed and how it can be pulled into the workspaces.
- Have a better way to view a keyword ranking across different devices and different locations so it could be viewed in one report.
Great product with excellent support
- Great insights into search terms that we're tracking.
- User interface is easy to grasp.
- Output (reports) is very user-friendly.
- Competitive intelliscope could be more robust. The data is somewhat thin from a holistic point of view.
- Would be great to see what search terms we're ranking for regardless of whether or not we're tracking the terms.
- Would be great to see what search terms our competitors are tracking for regardless of whether or not we're tracking the terms.
Conductor makes you an SEO magician
- The keyword tracking and analysis is wonderful. You can look high level, create segments, and dig deep into each search term and get all the information you could want.
- Market share tracking has been very valuable to keep track of how our efforts measure up and where we need to focus next.
- Knowing how each individual piece of content is performing is great. We can keep track of the effort involved and how it pays off over time.
- The reports are wonderful, and we have several built, but they are hard to customize the way we'd like.
- Once keywords are in the system, it takes some effort to make changes to them.
- The page recommendations are helpful, but you can't dismiss them if you decide not to implement.
Straightforward Review
The digital marketing team is the primary user of the tool, our copywriters have limited access to the tool.
Conductor provides insight and uncovers issues with keyword query ranking changes.
- The tool is extremely intuitive compared to other tools we have used in the past.
- Extremely visual which helps convey metrics and trends to leadership as well as creatives like copywriters.
- More ownership in regards to providing and implementing recommendations.
SEO success for your company
- Able to highlight new Insights with breakdowns
- Clean and simple interface. User friendly to find and search what we are looking to optimize.
- Great service with help through chat feedback
- More detailed visual data on Visibility Performance Rank page
- The platform is slick and intuitive. Easy to use.
- Very helpful in surfacing insights that are new and relevant.
- Some monthly search volume data can be questionable. Tough to get this right since they're reliant on Google
- There's a lot to digest. It takes some time to understand what every tool does.
Improving SEO in higher ed with Conductor
- Benchmarking against competitors and keywords.
- Real-time and actionable insights.
- Building a business case for increased SEO and web support.
- More online training.
User Friendly Enterprise SEO Tool with Great Customer Experience
- Customer Voice is readily available.
- It's incredibly simple to setup dashboards and automate those reports to your inbox.
- I like that our data can be easily segmented into groups.
- I'd like to see more detailed on page recommendations.
- I'd like to see a deep integration with Search Console.
Conductor's Number One Fan
- Customer Service: Conductor's customer service is unparalleled. Even when they don't know an answer, they can find someone for you who does.
- Power of features: Conductor is always releasing new and updated features that make the platform more useful and more powerful. With the addition of these new tools, marketers can continue to understand a wholly complex landscape, and make better decisions for the organization they work for.
- Tutorials: Conductor doesn't just give you the keys to the new sports car with a manual transmission when you've never operated a clutch in your life -- they teach you how to effectively use their product, and they make sure you're staying on top of the platform.
- Features are definitely hard to use, but as mentioned before, Conductor helps you learn how to use the features so that you can grow as a user of the platform.
- I would like to see their webinars done differently. A lot of times I find myself interested in their webinars, but they never remind me to actually attend! It's okay though, because they usually have a recorded product that I can watch when it's over.
Best SEO platform.
- Easy comparison between your and your competitors' keywords.
- Generating reports is fast and simple.
- Analytics enable you to track how you're ranking overtime.
- Mobile app is a plus.
- Customer service is top class.
- Naming convention is a unintuitive.
Conductor is awesome!
- Does a good job at providing recommendations that we can use as a starting point for website optimizations.
- Integrates with our analytics and GSC to provide our team insights in one place. Analytics access here is stingy so its useful for us to at least get an idea of traffic coming to the site, etc.
- The user experience of this tool is much better than our old one, and the live support is incredible.
- Would like Domain Explorer to be able to be utilized on a page level basis. Diving down into detail is very important and getting domain wide data doesn't help as much as page level would.
- I don't find the link center particularly helpful so expanding or improving this tool to be more helpful in generating insights would be great.
- Its tough to tie organic search success to dollars generated. Developing a tool to better help tell that story or tie it into business cases would be great.
Conductor - Excellent Platform for SEO and Content Optimization
2. SEO recommendations to improve search rankings
3. Reporting of organic search metrics
- Finding recommendations to improve search rankings is easy
- Exporting reports
- Competitive analysis
- Limitations on how many metrics you can add per workspace. Should be unlimited.
- Date ranges for comparison reports is always one week. We'd like to be able to customize date ranges for reports.

SEO Agency Services Utilization & Review of Conductor
- Reporting is the biggest area where Conductor really stands out. One of the reasons I chose this tool over others is that reporting comes with templates designed for people at various business roles. From an SEO agency perspective, I get a more productive relationship with my clients if more areas of their business understand how SEO aligns with their goals. Conductor also pulls data from sources that are troublesome for our Business Intelligence department, which creates channel integrated reports for our clients.
- Data and insights are very important for providing SEO services. I have a huge variety of SEO tools and browser plugins at hand. But Conductor is valuable in that it provides connections between keywords, typical SEO KPIs and content performance. Other SEO enterprise tools like Searchmetrics and BrightEdge (and maybe Moz if you want to include it here) also provide meaningful insights and recommendations. But Conductor is easily competitive and holds its own here. I'm really excited about enabling Google Search Console integration, since up until now we have been pulling this data into spreadsheets with a free API that is only supported by a single unpaid person.
- Conductor's content mapping is a really cool way to conceptualize content marketing. I love how it gives a visual representation of the customer journey and enables you to apply KPIs to each - giving you a clear idea of the business value of content and how well it performs across each stage of the journey and segment of customers.
- Customer support is done really well by Conductor. This is a big area of difference I noticed right away during the evaluation stage between Conductor and my previous enterprise SEO tool. The Conductor team has jumped in and created reports for me numerous times. They don't hound me when it is time to renew the contract. Chat help is really helpful in solving problems.
- Creating content maps and assigning pages to each segment is difficult. I would like to see more options in ways to associate a page with a segment. For example, allow a custom field to search for something in the code. This way, we could create a custom tag or even pull a visual element off the page that determines which segment the page belongs.
- When looking at rankings, I'd like to be able to quickly see historic trends for a keyword. Currently, it's a little cumbersome to get this -- takes multiple clicks and waiting for the page to load each time.
- I don't get much out of Conductor's backlink reporting. When I need this, I go straight to Majestic. Whether its to dig into backlinks or basic overview reporting, I go straight to Majestic and export data.
A small or medium business that is not willing to spend as much on their SEO investment and has fewer decision makers can likely make due with a single in-house SEO expert or contractor who can spend more time using a compilation of tools to pull insights and reports. With fewer decision makers, there is less need for custom reports. The SEO staff can then take time to explain more about what is happening face to face rather than up front training and emailing reports.
How Conductor Works For A Small Content Team With No Dedicated-SEO
- Keyword research and competitive intel.
- Making suggestions on how to improve SEO (the insight stream is incredible! Every tool should have this!)
- Their customer success team and helpful content is AWESOME.
- The UX and naming of features is a bit confusing/tough to learn at first--especially if you're a content person and not in the product every day. They are working on an interface for content people vs. SEOs, which could be helpful (Note: I haven't checked it out yet).
- Set up of all their best tools features can be a bit tough/time consuming at first. They do have great workflows, but it can be a bit overwhelming and hard to get done.
- Some of the insights (while they're really helpful as a feature!) aren't always the best for us. You have to double-check some of the page level recommendations. We're B2B, and the suggestions actually put us in competition with B2C pages, which we're not interested in currently.
Try Conductor
- Great for tracking predefined list of keywords and their historical trend.
- Also, it's good for finding adjacent keywords for major product keywords through Audience Intent Explorer.
- Keyword grouping in another great feature, which allows to see how positions for groups of keywords are changing over time.
- Great UI and very intuitive navigation.
- One of the biggest pain points is lack of good backlink explorer to check backlinks of competitors.
- Search volumes for long tail keywords are not always correct (i.e. do not match numbers in Google Keyword Tool).
- The price is to high, there are lot's of tools that would provide similar value for 1/15th of the price.
One scenario where Conductor is not that great, is when you want to look at a list of backlinks of your competitor and how their profile changed over time.
Conductor shed light on our search ecosystem.
- Allows us to identify threats to our SEO rankings. We can find duplicate tags or missing tags across our site and even assign tasks right in the tool.
- Conductor has become our central database for our keywords for both SEO and PPC.
- Provides important data and reports to anyone within the company that needs to know.
- Integration has been a bit daunting.
- Some of the keywords they provided during setup were nonsensical, but in the end, it's easier to remove keywords than digging them up in the first place.
- Conductor is a very large and complex tool. There are times I wish it was simpler.
Analyze keywords and find nuggets with Conductor
- Provide insights for content creation and optimization - this is very helpful as it shows "real" time keyword movement and allows us to optimize for keywords that we might not have thought of.
- Reporting - the reporting dashboard is fairly easy to navigate and includes various metrics geared towards content optimization and trends.
- Make the platform more intuitive to navigate.
- Improve tutorial videos.
Pleased With Early Impact
- Tracks "TrueRank" for Google Searches on keywords.
- Shows progress over time. Strong visualizations of performance of what's improving and what's slipping.
- Provides actionable intelligence of areas that can be addressed.
- Helps prioritize tasks based on impact and estimated level of effort.
- Shows competitor rank and allows you to understand how others competing with you for traffic are positioning their content.
- The amount of data that is available to you can be a bit overwhelming to users.
- A quarterly "health check" would be a great value add.
- Some basic tools to optimize content when it's being created would be great. Such as guidance on length of headlines/titles, meta descriptions, meta keywords. It tells you a week later when something is "too long" or "too short", but on the front end, before it's saved and published. Also more specific suggestions would be great.
- The weekly nature of updates is a bit limiting.
- Sorting through recommendations and action items, some of the sort options reset themselves too much. I haven't been able to figure out how to make certain criteria selections save/persist.
C1 Loves Conductor
- Conductor is great at identifying opportunities in search. I've found more opportunities for new and for optimizing existing content than with any other tools I've used.
- Conductor is great on reporting with their workspaces. My challenge is in coming up with my own individual workflow to organize those reports, as I've created many. Their staff is great with helping to identify workflows and work through each task.
- Conductor's team is awesome! We have our regular support calls where they always have an agenda and are wanting to teach me something new about the platform or provide new value to our organization.
- The recommendations section of Conductor is a weakness. The recommendations themselves are great, but I can't use the section well because I can't easily sort and organize recommendations or mark off which recommendations I've implemented. I'd ideally like a way to mark each recommendation as a task, give those tasks organization or subtasks, and then bulk mark tasks as completed. Right now to create a task and mark it as complete is so manual that I can't use Conductor to keep track of my SEO tasks.
Conductor Has Changed How We Execute SEO for the Better
- You are able to easily slice and dice data and the interface is relatively intuitive without training in comparison, to its main competitor.
- Conductor also provides fantastic consumer support on an on-going basis.
- Conductor also provides comparisons of your data against search competitors, which we have found valuable.
- The tool's insights are only as good as your data and I feel it is a little clunky to import and export data to clean up keywords and preferred URL's. Instead of a spreadsheet upload, I wish you could just modify the data directly in the web-based version.
- I also believe that with the trend of consumers using mobile as their first screen, the Conductor data needs to be more focused on mobile insights.
Conductor - a must have tool for any SEO team!
- The level of service from our customer representative and account manager is exceptional. Questions and requests we have are attended to in a timely manner and it is evident that their #1 priority is their customer. The customer service they provide is value-added.
- Conductor keeps up with customer needs and industry demands by ensuring their tool is best in class. They seek customer input and suggestions and are transparent about their product road map for the tool.
- The Conductor team stays ahead of industry demands by ensuring their tool can answer current and upcoming industry issues - for example, they developed a "true traffic" component to their tool as a way to address the "not provided" issue.
- It would nice to see a more robust reporting suite for mobile keyword/content tracking.
- A more frequently updated backlink reporting suite would be beneficial as the tool provides updated backlink and domain data every quarter. Monthly updates would be of more benefit to the user.
- Many of the recommendations provided by the Conductor tool are not actionable due to site structure or company requirements. It would be nice to have the option to dismiss unnecessary/unactionable recommendations and potentially request more relevant recommendations.
Let Conductor do the reporting for you!
- Keyword movement.
- Client comparison data (keywords and placement).
- Link Center data to find opportunities for backlinks for our clients. It shows us where our clients are getting backlinks and opportunities that we may not have thought of.
- Screenshots of the listing populating for all keywords. Helps us see how Google is populating the title and meta, etc.
- Link Center isn't updated often enough - even though I know it's through Moz. More active data would be helpful.
- Creating workspaces can take a long time and can be very convoluted. But, once we get the hang of them I think they will be very helpful.
- Will you use all of the data?
- Are we using the most of what Conductor has to offer?
Conductor - highly recommended!
The marketing and SEO teams use it regularly to track competitive rankings, discover keyword and content opportunities and identify potential problems on our site.
- It allows you to dive really deep in an intuitive way when assessing keyword performance.
- It connects real traffic data to keyword and page rankings.
- It lets us add any keywords into any number of custom categories.
- Their competition uses page ranks any associated traffic to calculate market share and I think this would be valuable.
