We're currently using Conductor to help us optimize our website for search. Only the marketing team is utilizing the platform right now.
  • They have amazing service. I could not ask more from our account reps.
  • I love how they've paired the platform with an agency. They've really taught us how to utilize the platform in order to make better informed decisions.
  • Overall, the platform is a little pricey. But, if you have the room in your budget it's well worth it.
  • There is definitely a learning curve with Conductor. You have to be invested in taking the time to learn how to use it.
Conductor is ideal for large businesses looking to grow their organic traffic.

We use Conductor for two primary reasons:
1. Analyze content and performance
2. identify technical issues that could be causing lower SEO scores

We use it throughout our entire Digital marketing department to monitor our current organic performance. When we create a new landing page we utilize the tool to make sure that we go after the most relevant (and performing) search term possible. Finally, we utilize the tool as well as the managed services option to show us when we may have a technical issue on site that we wouldn't have seen otherwise.

  • Measure performance: Conductor has created an outstanding tool that allows you to quantify your SEO changes and show you how your page and changes have done historically.
  • Analyze content: Conductor's tools help you understand what search terms you will want to build content around and will help you understand any "low hanging fruit" your brand can take advantage of to hit some page 1 rankings.
  • Managed Services: We utilize managed services to point out any technical issues we are currently facing on the site but we also use our representative to identify any missed opportunities we might be able to leverage.
  • Integration takes some time but it is well worth it!
  • Not having managed services could make the first year of use a little rough as it is up to the client to get the most out of the system.
Conductor is well suited for any brand looking to build more content. It will help eCommerce sites with product copy, title tags, and descriptions but will also help brands more focused on content by showing opportunity and MSV.

We needed an SEO tool and had a need to drive organic traffic to our website. It is being used by marketing as well as by our web agency. It allows us to easily prioritize our SEO efforts. As the one person who uses the platform internally I feel like it's a valuable tool for raising visibility in a very competitive section of the web.
  • 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.
If you have a need for an SEO solution and have resources to make the recommendations. If you don't have resources or can't make the changes yourself you are probably going to be running into problems.

Currently the SEO team are the primary users of Conductor. We are working closely with the content strategy and creation teams to provide insights on keyword recommendations and performance, so that they are able to make data driven decisions. We rely on the tool to provide insights on content optimization, keyword performance and segmented reporting for the executive team and by different lines of business.
  • Keyword tracking - a huge asset for an Search Marketing Team.
  • Workspaces - the reporting functionality is robust and allows us to be as high-level or granular as need be for the respective audiences.
  • DeepCrawl - the website crawler functionality is an excellent tool that provides technical insights on the website.
  • Weekly tracking - we'd love to see more real-time information.
Conductor helps our team review & report on performance. Where it really shines for us is with respect to our keyword tracking, keyword performance and content analysis and optimizations recommendations.

Conductor has quickly become an essential tool for team members across our organization. Because of the versatility of the platform, teams with different objectives and areas of focus are able to leverage the data in ways that cater to their unique objectives, while being able to collaborate with other teams within a consistent framework. Our Content team is able to conduct audience and keyword research, our Product Marketing team is able to analyze and compare content segments to identify top performing products, and our Paid and Organic Search teams are able to quickly point out areas of light or overly saturated keyword coverage and create a more efficient search strategy.

Overall, this allows our organization to streamline our optimization efforts within one unified platform, which cuts down on inconsistencies, simplifies execution and reduces reliance on multiple technologies.
  • The Explorer tool integrates with multiple keyword databases, so the results are more comprehensive and representative of the true search landscape. It also provides important insight into the environment that surrounds the keywords or topics you search for, such as the stage in the customer journey that keyword best fits or the level of competition within the SERP that you can expect to go against. These are valuable features when determining which keywords to optimize your content for.
  • Knowing where you stand in relation to your competitors is important for understanding your path for growth, and the Market Share and Rank Comparison features within Conductor allow you to determine the areas you dominate and areas of potential opportunity at a granular level.
  • The reporting feature allows you to quickly and easily compile notable performance shifts and disseminate these shifts to your team, along with analysis and relevant context. Keeping the larger organization abreast of your efforts allows everyone to benefit from the optimizations you make, and Conductor makes this process easy.
  • I truly enjoy this platform. There was a learning curve when I first began using Conductor, but the excellent and well-organized training sessions that Conductor provides alleviated the stress of mastering the technology.
  • Conductor has a massive suite of features, and depending on the needs of your business, you may or may not need all of these features. Identify the key areas of support that you are looking for, and work with the sales team to customize a solution that works best for you.
Conductor is perfect for organizations that are seeking to improve their visibility and presence within the entire search space, not just organic search, and therefore, smaller businesses or companies with a singular focus on a particular channel may not need the entire suite of features that Conductor offers. If you are able to dedicate the time to utilizing the tool in full, then Conductor can be a powerful resource in your optimization efforts, but it can be somewhat overwhelming if you are only using it on an intermittent basis.

We are using Conductor as our SEO platform to do keyword and industry research, and plan and execute strategies. Our internal marketing team is the department that uses the platform, and we find it very intuitive and easy to use. It has helped us to see our strengths, some of our weaknesses, and has given us some low-hanging fruit that could help our company out the quickest.
  • Great customer service.
  • The on-boarding and training for using the platform is awesome. They are with you every step of the way.
  • They are always available for any question you might have.
  • The menu options change, which can cause a little confusion until you learn where everything is again.
It is a good tool to plan and strategize your SEO campaigns. The keyword tracking helps with getting fresh content and seeing how you are ranking over time.

Conductor's platform is easy to use and set up for clients. Currently, the SEO department leverages Conductor for keyword rankings, reporting, competitor data, content marketing and more. The data it provides helps in making strategic decisions on how to improve our client's SEO campaign, increase brand awareness and revenue, leads, etc. Conductor integrates with Google Analytics and Google Search Console to help tie back all the data in one platform and integrate it into monthly SEO reports for example.

Their customer service is top notch and easy to use. Their chat feature provides support when you need it. Their staff is very helpful and if they don't know the answer, they always follow up with me on the same day.

  • 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.
Conductor is well suited for all businesses that operate a website; however, it may be geared for larger companies that operate more than one website. While I would recommend their platform to everyone, I could see cost being an issue for this enterprise level software for small business owners. I would also like to add that their excellent customer support allows you to use the tool without being an SEO expert, therefore saving money rather than hiring an SEO consultant for example.

Our company uses Conductor in the Analytics department. This is a daily tool that we use to make sure that our clients are performing in organic search and to identify areas where we can improve their search appearance. While our Analytics department is the one responsible for monitoring the statistics, nearly the entire company interacts with Conductor in some fashion.
  • 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 is well-suited for anyone in the SEO industry looking to find a way to monitor rankings and improve the search appearance of their client on search engines like Google and Bing. The tool is also useful for account executives and client-facing workers because of the reporting tools that exist within the platform.

Conductor is currently being used by our Marketing department to identify opportunities for new content as well as optimization for current content and product pages.
  • 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.
Conductor is great for companies looking to understand how their website is performing organically, get recommendations for easy wins and longer-term optimizations they can make, as well as identify content to add to their website.

This program is very great as it gives me perfect insights into my market and how it's doing with SEO. By seeing what other companies do to get first place on Google, I can optimize my content and website to get first place myself. Furthermore, I can check on my progress from the week on week view they provide. [It's a] Great tool that helped us book great successes.
  • Finding out what your market share is in terms of SEO in your specific industry and country
  • Weekly update and monitoring on how your terms are doing
  • Showing you what link Google refers to when looking for market share terms
  • Niche and dialect search terms for example in Belgium
  • Full insight of why a company is doing better on certain terms in SEO than us, at the moment it is experimenting with content optimization and hoping it works.
  • I would love to see a sort of pop up that tells me: ''Hey! these terms have a large volume but you just do not score high enough.''
It is just great for SEO and content optimization and a result of it. It challenges you to get those positions up and check weekly where you can improve as a company and user.

We currently use Conductor as our all in one SEO platform. We use it for keyword tracking and monitoring, keyword discovery, identifying landing pages that need optimization, even for competitor research so we can find out how we currently fair with the competition. The platform also provides features for easy reporting.
  • Keyword Performance tracking
  • Content Recommendations
  • Reporting
  • Data is currently presented on a weekly basis/comparison. Hopefully they would let users create reports for daily and monthly comparisons.
Great for analyzing your organic search performance, but does not offer any tracking for other types of sources.

Conductor is being used to support our cross-functional teams. Marketing, Tech, Merchandising and our content teams are leveraging Conductor to track and report performance, identify large opportunities, analyze keywords and competitors and identify areas of improvement. Each team has a different need for the Conductor tool, and are able to access the information most relevant to helping address their team needs.
  • 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 is perfect for Enterprise companies that require the involvement of teams and individuals not fully integrated with SEO. Organizations that have multiple departments on their websites, and need to obtain insights by department or categories, will find the most value in Conductor, as views and reports are customizable for various segments. Additionally, those that have resource constraints will appreciate the ease of integration and trainings, along with the level of team support.

Conductor is used solely by our marketing department in order to do keyword-level research when we are looking to commercialize new products. We are able to see a high level, as well as a granular view of the monthly search volume of keywords, as well as the buyer journey, which has proved to be instrumental in deciding how we want to position new products and web pages.
  • Competitor tracking - see where you are ranking compared to your business or SEO competitors
  • Keyword Visibility - see week over week stats of how you are performing for tracked keywords
  • Category comparison - create specific categories and track progress over weeks, months, etc
  • An easier way to mass upload multiple keywords at once
  • See full search performance, not just for keywords that are currently being tracked
  • Ability to add more competitors to track/compare
Conductor is great for staying up to date on how we are performing in keyword searches as well as room for improvement in other ranking categories.

Conductor Searchlight helps our organization with our search engine optimization. It allows us to narrow down our money keywords, organize our keyword information, give data rankings and ranking comparison with our competitors. It does a great job of making the whole data research process easier and more efficient. It also puts our information in an easy to understand workspace that can be communicated to everyone on your marketing team.
  • Conductor's keyword explorer makes my life easier. It gives a thorough and deeply crawled research platform for my competitive keywords. There is no other reason for me to use another keyword explorer.
  • Conductor's ranking data gives you an extensive, easy to understand overview of where all of your needed keywords are ranking. It also gives you the ability to see whether you rankings have increased or dropped as well as how many people are searching for that particular keyword.
  • Conductor's competitive rankings research is one of my favorite tools. It allows me to see and to understand who are my competitors and how are they ranking compared to our site.
  • Although Conductor does have access to backlinks through an add on company, they could really blow it out of the water if they had back link platform. It would be an all inclusive SEO machine.
Conductor is well suited, particularly in the search engine optimization field. When you need to know a depth of keywords, your daily rankings, and your competitor rankings, then Conductor is well suited to fit your needs. However, if you are looking for backlinks, then they do not offer this feature outside of an add-on company.

With Conductor's help, we've already put massive improvements into place across product pages, collection pages, blog content, product naming conventions, and more. they've also done a great job of educating us on the reasoning behind the suggested changes so that our entire team is learning about SEO as we go-- not just following specific orders or instructions.
  • Competitive tracking
  • Content optimization
  • Opportunities / risk alerts
  • Difficult for our scrappy team to keep pace with the speed and quantity of their recommendations
  • Sometimes the dashboards are easy to get lost within, especially for SEO newbies
Conductor has provided us with specific product naming recommendations, blog post titles, and product description recommendations that will align our content best with the relevant queries people have for our space. This is huge, since prior to Conductor, we were essentially shooting in the dark here. They've given us the framework and direction that can guide any new content we put out on the site.

Conductor is leveraged for execution and use primarily by digital capabilities, IT, marketing, and product teams. The data and insights are leveraged enterprise-wide to inform the customer journey and personas, prospect interests and needs, promotion impact, and application funnel stickiness. CSL is also insightful for new/incremental interests, needs, and new products. Conductor easily integrates with platforms to gather your organic search data to help magnify and raise up insights for easy-to-see and easy-to-execute incremental growth opportunities. Conductor eliminates the mystery of organic search visits, neutralizes the need for SEO expertise, and delivers the what, when, who, why, and how of organic search visits. Conductor backs up their product with excellent customer service, a thorough and easy to use knowledgebase, engaging training sessions and resources, and a rapid response issue ticket system.
  • Evaluating our content performance has been very simple with Conductor. The time invested and the topics chosen are easy to justify with the ease of analyzing our content performance. We're nearly able to go on autopilot because the content performance data informs the relevant teams what to tweak, what original content to create, and what is resonating across the funnel path.
  • Conductor has absolutely improved our ability to measure our site's visibility. Our site has gained 35% incremental organic search visits overall, with strategic products and services pages earning nearly 100% incremental visits. In some cases, we've had dueling content with competitors and we're seeing an improvement (and a blowout) of gaining positions over our competitors.
  • We discovered that over half of our audience used organic search to navigate to online account management. Conductor helped us ensure our online account management page was optimized. More than that, Conductor delivered insights for additional high engagement content for the online account page. We were able to expand the single account management into an entirely new section of content that crossed over into marketing and prospecting acquisition funnels.
  • The competition module has aided in the website redesign of a product line that represents over 50% of our business. Viewing designs, messages, placement, and promotion of our competitors in Conductor has helped organize insights and validate decisions for efficient navigation, marketing and service content placement, and other design-driven decisions.
  • For good reason, the configuration of business goals, value, and other complex business insights is a long process ... but it's well worth it. We're just so anxious for the easy plug-and-play capability.
  • Insights are weekly
  • Need an incentive trigger for users to log in and use the tool
For most businesses, regardless of industry, organic search drives over 4 out of 10 visits to websites from prospects and customers who span the entire funnel spectrum. The organic skill is hard to gauge, is very specialized, and is hard to assign value. CSL removes the mystery of the skill and clarifies how to tap into organic search opportunities for incremental business and growth. CSL may not work for you only if your business isn't on the web or on mobile.

Conductor is used across the organization to understand rankings, competition, content opportunities, and other insights. With people data, everyone wants to be ranked amongst the other big name companies: Facebook and LinkedIn. Conductor helps provide the insights and measurements for making better SEO-related decisions.
  • 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.
Conductor is well suited for providing insights into the competitive marketplace in different ways.

Conductor is in use by the marketing organization to drive more organic traffic, as well as understand the effectiveness of the content and programs we create. It provides automation around SEO monitoring that previously required an agency and irregular updates, vs. a regular stream of actionable data. It's also aided in providing excellent competitive insights.
  • 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.
At a high level, there are a million good reasons to use a platform like Conductor if you need to drive relevant traffic via search, and this is the case for the vast majority of categories. I think that for retailers, answer WHAT needs to happen and HOW is valuable, whereas competitive info may be less so (Amazon and eBay will ALWAYS rank for many retail categories, and 1000's of retailers may carry the same sneaker). For B2B SAAS, where competition is in the 5-20 competitors range, the levels of insight and individual keyword tracking are incredibly well suited.

Our marketing department uses Conductor for our DIY side of the business. My team researches content ideas and tracks keywords through the platform. We also pull analytics from the platform and utilize the dashboards and automated reporting emails. We also have a lot of existing content that we have been working to optimize with the help of the platform. Other teams use the platform for competitor analysis.
  • Audience Intent Explorer: we can view topic suggestions in order to create better content.
  • Recommendations: the platform suggests edits that can be made to existing articles for improved ranking.
  • Reporting: I choose to have Content Ideas emailed to me each week. It is simple to set up.
  • Social media: it would be interesting to see integration with facebook, instagram and twitter.
  • Keywords: it would be nice to automatically track keywords on both mobile and desktop without having to double up on the amount of keywords that you are tracking/being charged for.
  • Keyword tracking: tracking changes are only refreshed once a week.
Conductor is well suited for an eCommerce team who is trying to increase search ranking for their organization. For my team, it is a great tool to utilize for content creation - brainstorming articles and then checking to see if there are better titles/keywords - in order to increase our ranking.

We primarily use this tool within the SEO and Content teams to help us with analyzing performance and also strategizing, prioritizing and planning future content.
  • Conductor makes it easy to create a Workspace where you easily access a dashboard you have previously set-up to take the time out of having to start fresh every time you want to look at a certain category or segment of the business. You can click on a previously saved workspace, and only see what you have set up. It will also show you performance trends over time.
  • Conductor makes the reporting process easy when it comes to being able to automatically set-up reports to be emailed to team members as frequently as you would like (weekly, monthly, etc.) This makes it easy and efficient to share out information across multiple teams when dealing with such a large organization.
  • Conductor provides the Audience Intent Explorer part of the tool which really allows us to dive in and offers suggestions around what types of topics we should be having our copy writers pitch to create new content that will also rank well and align with our overall strategy. This way we can optimize all of our articles and landing pages around a certain keyword and then also monitor performance to track how well it is doing over time.
  • The competitive analysis is also helpful when it comes to looking at what our competitors are doing and guiding us for areas where they may be performing really well and we should take a look.
  • The ability to associate multiple keywords/URL's at once in a type of bulk upload feature.
With the type of customer service we have experienced using this tool, I can't imagine many scenarios where Conductor wouldn't be appropriate. Even with little knowledge, the simplicity of the platform allows you to get the hang of it easily. If you are unsure of what keywords to focus on or where to look for the biggest wins, there are reps you can partner with that will help guide you in the beginning and throughout the process. For monitoring organic search presence and health and for trying to identify opportunities to expand your traffic sources, this tool is one of the best we have used.

We use Conductor to understand content gaps as well as understanding where we sit with keywords in organic search. While predominately leveraged by the customer acquisition team its being used across content and social teams as well. Beyond looking at the gaps, we're looking at where we are today to figure out what we need to do to update our pages and make them not only more SEO friendly, but consumer friendly as well.
  • We're able to see our gaps in content creation for our specifically targeted user profiles.
  • The program is very helpful in understanding where our keywords are in organic search and what we need to focus on.
  • After going through a site relaunch earlier this year, Conductor has been able to help us monitor the potential losses we had and where we needed to step up our game!
  • Any program can always be made more efficient. We find it a bit cumbersome to search for specific keywords that we know are in the system.
  • I'd personally also like to see a more high level report. Right now, getting so far into the weeds, its very easy to get lost. Trying to use the data to explain what is happening to C-Suite Executives, makes it a bit difficult.
  • Using the keyword allocation to see how things are looking in mobile/desktop individually creates challenges when you're trying to track a lot of things, but it makes sense given the platform.
Some of the most important questions we asked were: How easy is the system to use? Do you need to be an engineer to use it or is it simple enough for a marketer to use this on a daily basis? What's the opportunity here? What can this do for the bottom line? How can we quickly see what needs to be addressed? Can we easily define the tasks that need to be done immediately vs. those that are a bit longer term? Are we able to see where we stack up against our competitors? Can we learn from their successes and apply that to our program?
