Conductor is used primarily by our SEO and content teams. It helps us keep a stronghold on market share, as well as anticipate the needs of our customers. It has helped us increase visibility and give our customers the information they're looking for to make the best purchase decision.
  • Easy-to-use user interface allows us to view crucial metrics at a glance.
  • Conductor provides the right combination of insight metrics (including visibility and performance) that we need to help our customers convert.
  • Friendly support from the Conductor team.
  • I'd like to see more insight into the product details page. There is currently a great deal of performance information for buying guides, and it's enough to help us form our product page content strategy, but it would be helpful if more PDP information existed.
Very well-suited for companies looking to increase visibility and market share, who have the resources and tools on their end to create and execute content strategies.

The interface is utilized by people across multiple facets of the business, but is primarily used by employees on the Audience Acquisition Team. We have an extensive long tail organic search presence, so tracking rankings and analytics across a wide swath of subject areas is integral to our ability to grow and protect search real estate.
  • 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.
Conductor is a great tool, especially for people who work with multiple tools geared towards search analytics (Webmaster Tools, Adobe, SEMRush etc.). The ability to combine traffic metrics with along with site health factors and keyword opportunities is great to have in one place. It saves time, and helps streamline data to make its users more efficient.

We currently are using Conductor across our organic search department, our content department and at points our social department. Usually we are using it to track organic keywords nationally and locally for our clients and use it for ideation for blog and knowledge center ideas. We utilize it in reporting for our clients about the competitive landscape as well to show how they are stacking up against their cited competitors and other high ranking sites.
  • 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.
Despite some of its shortcomings Conductor is an amazing platform for all parts of optimizing for organic search. It is also perfect for finding new ideas that actual web users are looking for and helping start the process of developing a content strategy. Where Conductor is less suited is true competitor comparisons. While it does do a great job in measuring your competitors rankings and market share for your keywords, it has a more difficult time drawing in other keywords they own and showing market share among the competitive landscape when factoring those kinds of keywords into the mix.

Our SEO & Content departments rely heavily on Conductor to monitor clients' SEO performance, track competitor performance, analyze prospective clients and perform ad hoc reports and analyses for clients. We use Conductor's Workspaces to send automated keyword reports to our clients, significantly saving us time from manual keyword reporting. Conductor's category comparison tool allows us to keep a close eye on how our clients' sites are performing on a category level, giving them more accurate insights into the performance metrics they care about.
  • Keyword & category-based performance
  • Investigating competitor site performance
  • Automated weekly reporting
  • Mapping content to custom audience types
  • Would like to be able to export all ranking keywords for any website, as some competitor tools are able to do
  • More frequent keyword ranking updates
If you are managing multiple client accounts, Conductor makes it easy to monitor performance across all client accounts and quickly get a good handle on how those sites are performing. It is also a great tool for competitive analysis, as well as conducting SEO audits into new sites/prospective clients. Conductor has made significant updates to its UI, making it easy to screenshot good-looking, clear charts and add them to client reports.

As a member of the SEO department, I use Conductor across client accounts to monitor keyword visibility, find keyword positioning opportunities, understand the search results for specific keywords, and to work to improve organic performance by implementing the information found in Conductor into actionable strategy initiatives. This helps us address content gaps, find new opportunities for service pages and content, and increase visibility based on high-volume search terms.
  • Allows you to compare keyword performance throughout time periods to see overall progression, or progression over a shorter period of time (helpful for newly launched initiatives to measure performance).
  • Viewing the search results for keywords. Allows you to monitor where your client falls within the search results and view and analyze how the competition is leveraging the keyword in their site. This helps with next step strategies.
  • Separates out answer box performance. This is something we've had many clients interested in so it is a clean way to report out on success in gaining these positions and we pair this with viewing the search results of a keyword.
  • Updating performance more than weekly. This would be interesting for seeing quick impacts of an initiative or if you wanted real time keyword performance.
Conductor is well suited for looking at keyword positioning progress and for understanding how other marketing efforts are improving (or not improving) keyword visibility. Conductor helps you find new opportunities to improve client performance and to understand where a website may be lacking and have areas for further improvement and optimizations. Conductor has been very helpful in understanding the Answer Box opportunities and result for clients who are interested in gaining these results.

I've been able to incorporate Conductor into my daily workflow, something I wasn't as easily able to do with our former SEO monitoring tool. The onboarding was excellent, so I felt ready to use it from the get-go, and my bi-weekly calls with our customer success manager ensures I stay up to date on new features and continue to use the keyword and page performance tools that are the mainstay of the platform.

  • Page segmentation features
  • Keyword monitoring
  • Dashboard with key insights
  • Competitor monitoring
  • Manual keyword upload process
  • Persona tracking
  • Marketshare analysis
Excellent for day-to-day or week-to-week monitoring of page and keyword performance. Provides an excellent dashboard with key insights from the prior week - a great destination for a Monday morning quick read. I appreciate the ability to indicate higher priority keywords and filter reporting on them; in fact, there are so many useful filters in all of the reports that allow insightful narrowing down of data.

Conductor is currently being used department-wide as our primary keyword tracking and reporting tool.
  • Easy to use and intuitive interface
  • Excellent and responsive customer service
  • Deep dive features such as Competitive Intelliscope, Audience Intent Explorer
  • Keyword updates every Sunday so if you’re looking for extremely current data on a time crunch, it may not work
Good for keyword tracking, content optimization ideas, competitor visibility, and keyword discovery on a landing page basis. Not so suited for keyword research projects.

Conductor is our main tool for keyword tracking and measuring visibility. The tool is great for identifying keyword gaps on our client sites, completing comprehensive research and working towards an effective editorial calendar or content plan that helps us drive performance and close the gaps we identified. Additionally, we are further aided by Conductor's competitive Intelliscope tool which shows us what ground we need to cover where competitors already have a firm grasp.
  • Measure Visibility
  • Site Audits
  • Competitive Analysis
  • The interface is a little clunky
Conductor is well suited for tracking keywords and keyword categories your site does not currently rank for. By keeping your eye on keywords you've identified as "rank worthy" even if your site is in position 100+, is incredibly valuable and allows you and your team to plan long-term for pushing those keywords closer to your desired position.

Conductor is being used to help our content writer optimize their web pages in a structured measurable way. Together with our other online analytics tools, we are working on implementing a digital strategy of growth connected to our customers, and Conductor allows us to be very close to our core customers indeed.
  • Keywords/searches are listed in spreadsheet format and so can be easily read, understood and filtered on the data in the columns.
  • Organisation of keywords/searches into categories makes it easy to group them and look at business/product sections as a whole.
  • The setting up of workspaces and the automatic delivery of dashboards to business stakeholders inboxes makes it easy to automate the process of keeping the business informed of the progress/improvement of the performance of the website
  • The tool is very complex to the beginner to understand. It would benefit from an assessment with a focus on removing some complexity from workflows
  • An increased use of tool tips could help alleviate any confusion by explaining terms and functions upon rolling over a e.g. question mark next to a button or term
We find that Conductor is well suited to raise awareness in our company of good, well structured and written web content, as it drives home small changes can make a difference in how our visitors are drawn to and 'consume' our content. It is always a work in progress of course.As the digital awareness of our company grows so will our use of Conductor.

We are using Conductor as our all-around SEO tool so we track our rankings, check in on our competition and develop content through the keyword research tool. As of now, the SEO team is the only one who utilizes the tool, but it has been extremely beneficial because we are able to see and find where we are lagging, what our improvements are, and gives us a clear direction on strategy. Our business problems are solved within a quick look at the Insight Stream. It's been completely invaluable.
  • 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".
If the senior manager is looking for some quick information before going into a meeting, Conductor is well suited to roll up that information very quickly. It's beneficial to group all of those needs in an easy-to-find place. The tools are also well suited to check on your competitors. Being able to see the keyword gap does wonders. Where Conductor is less appropriate is to determine which type of content is more appropriate for the audience you're trying to reach. That in and of itself is a catch-22.

We utilize Conductor on behalf of a manufacturing client, to optimize their website and provide content guidance with the end goal of boosting their SEO efforts. Being able to see what keywords make it to the top of search results, first page, or beyond is very helpful. This is mainly used in the marketing department.
  • Conductor makes it easy to monitor your organic search traffic.
  • Being able to see monthly search volume by keyword allows for focus on data driven - important keywords, rather than what's thought to be important.
  • Having insights into how you compare against your competitors or even channel partners is helpful.
  • If you're not in it everyday, navigation can be a bit tricky.
  • It took 3 weeks to get a data connection issue resolved, which had caused us to temporarily lose insights during that period.
  • There's a decent learning curve on the platform.
If you're looking to keep up with your SEO traffic, keywords and trends, this is for you. The tools available to not only review your important information, but also to see how you stack up against the competition is immensely valuable. While the keyword insights here are great and can also provide guidance on paid search terms, I wouldn't license it for that reason.

At SBD we deployed Conductor across our organization. It is being used by both the B2B2C tools and storage and B2B security and industrial businesses. We use the tool to inform content creation and before refreshing websites. To track the impact of changes we've made and justify project resources for new SEO work.
  • To analyze search rankings, develop medium and long term recommendations, create workflow for updates.
  • To help build a sustainable model for managing optimizations and reporting across a large industrial organization.
  • Before embarking on any SEO, it’s always a good idea to have the right foundational components in place. This includes deploying the right tools and up-skilling staff to help ensure that our SEO boosts website ranking. Condutor is integral to our ability to do this well.
  • Ability to integrate those look back comparative periods within Webmaster tools so you can see by topic what has grown organically in Google over time and the “buckets” of similar terms under those. Search console trend and insight reporting. Would be great if some of the insight widgets could focus on key takeaways and points of improvement. Add advanced Google Search Console trend data.
  • Better coverage for Global Emerging Markets and those regional engines.
  • Comparison time periods by quarter not just by week. Aggregate total impression share from ranking on Organic and Paid on first page for topic or keyword.
  • YouTube keyword recommendations and insights.
Using the right technology and content also requires another critical component: having the right talent in place to maximize the insights. Companies need to have specialized resources. If there are skill gaps, it’s best to work with an agency or a third party to help supplement these skills. Be sure these partners are certified in Conductor.

As a digital agency, Xivic uses Conductor for large enterprise SEO client accounts. Conductor is used and independently managed by the SEO team. The platform is used to monitor both website performance (traffic/sessions) and rank performance. We use the Google Analytics integration in order to efficiently analyze performance data both at a high-level and more granular when viewing specific page performance. In terms of rank performance, we use Conductor for keyword research, keyword discovery, keyword rank management, competition analysis and content strategy. With Conductor we are able to use one tool to keep track of:
  • 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
Conductor is well suited for companies that
  • 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
Not suited for
  • small companies with small websites
  • companies that do not generate new site content regularly
  • companies in low-competition industries

Our organization uses Conductor on a daily/weekly basis to get insights for on page website SEO optimizations. Moreover Conductor is used to track the performance of updates/changes made to the website.

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 is a great tool to use for keyword tracking and search tracking. It has helped us to actively monitor the performance of our client's websites and searches. Moreover it helps to prove and justify the results of our initiatives and make data driven decisions.

The Conductor platform has completely changed our decision-making process on adjustments to existing structure and content and how to create and place new content. The insights platform allows me to get a snapshot of the week's movement in a clear and customizable layout, flagging drops and gains and alerting me to any issues quickly. The audience intent explorer allows an easy way to find out the most popular searches and customer stage related to a keyword that we would want to create content to target. We also make use of the competitive IntelliScope to find out what national players are doing well to try to recreate their successes on our site.
  • 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
Any company looking to expand their site content reach would find tremendous value. The tools save time and money by centralizing reliable data. The addition of the deep crawl partnership makes it truly a one-stop tool for all SEO related upkeep and future decision making.

Conductor is being used by the Consumer Electronics department to identify key SEO issues and maximize organic traffic to the consumer website. It identifies simple issues such as Page Title/Meta Description to more drilled down category level analysis to identify top performing product lines. We also try to tie traffic through analytics integration.
  • Helpful customer support staff
  • Category level reporting/workspaces
  • Organized recommendation sections
  • Better integration to analytics

It is well suited in combination with analytics integration and the ability to tie into sales. We currently use Workspaces and category reporting.

Conductor is being used to track the weekly average organic page positions of high priority keywords, the pages that are ranking for those keywords, our competitors organic positions/market share, and whether or not we are meeting our goals. There are several reports that simplify our overall SEO health and which areas/content of our website we need to update. Using Conductor has simplified my job as an analyst in communicating with leadership what challenges we face in terms of gaining new organic traffic as where we have made improvements. Also, the calls I've had with Conductor support have been very valuable and helped guide me where in the reporting I can get the information I need.
  • 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.
If you you tracking 1000+ keywords that cover a wide range of products or services, Conductor does a good job at simplifying which specific content groups are performing best/ worse and what parts of your site is driving the majority of your organic traffic. Also, the support team at Conductor are very helpful and genuinely want you to get the maximum value out of the product.

Conductor is being used by our marketing department to take a close look at our organic performance across areas we cover as a research company. The insight pulled from the platform not only helps us drive our content marketing efforts, but is also shared with our research department so gauge what areas we should focus on in research to improve mindshare.
  • 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
I fought very hard at my company in early 2017 to purchase Conductor, and it's not a decision I regret. I think their tool offers amazing insight and super-simple workflows that make focusing on organic marketing a breeze. Their dashboard capabilities are impressive and something I try and share with my executive team as often as possible.

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.

We currently use Conductor to manage our SEO presence and understand our digital competitors in terms of ranking and popularity. As we are a B2B business, competition is tight and search volume is small in our industry. Consequently, we use Conductor not only to determine what our comepetitors are doing, but also how search engines are changing the market place.
  • Competitive intel is fabulous
  • Actual Keyword Rankings
  • Custom reporting
  • Interface is a little clunky
  • Would love to see more internal conversion reporting
Conductor is a really good reference and measuring tool for campaigns--any time I build a multi-touch campaign, I start in Conductor and it helps inform the design of landing pages as well as sympathetic digital marketing.

Conductor is primarily being managed by the inbound marketing team. Our company uses the platform to track organic search performance for clients who our retain our services for strategic ongoing inbound marketing initiatives. We directly manage Conductor, but provide reporting and data exports to external departments i.e. paid media, social media, and content strategy teams.
  • Great technical support services
  • The platforms is very intuitive and provides a good user experience

  • 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.
A 7 due to the platform's limitations mentioned previously when it comes to back in Dover site and onboarding process. Additionally, it might not be suitable based on the companies vertical.

Conductor is used by the content team and our SEO/PPC specialist to manage several thousand keywords and pages. It helps notify us of potential issues on our website, helps us identify content gaps for keywords we would like to be ranked for, and track movements in our ranked keywords in an easily digestible manner.
  • 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
The only time where Conductor could be less suited is if your team is not able to properly use the platform and all of its capabilities. I would say my team under-utilizes the platform, but it still provides a lot of meaningful insight and helps identify very meaningful trends.

  • Business Insights
  • Useful graphs
  • Easy to use interface
  • Possibly quicker scans to allow for more immediate insights
Conductor is very helpful if you have enough time between first interacting with a potential client and when a Proposal is due. For quicker turnaround, other Conductor features are good, but you might be better served using a lighter tool.
