Overall Satisfaction with Conductor Searchlight
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
- It is too early to see any hard impact on the business, but we are already seeing an improvement in page ranking on SERPs so we know that our efforts are going in the right direction.
We are in the beginning stages of fully utilising the data revealed in Conductor so at this time I cannot comment on how this is exactly impacting our content and SEO strategy, but all indications are that we will use this heavily in determining where our quick wins are and which areas we need to focus more effort on to align with our company digital goals and overall strategy.
We are a small digital marketing team despite the size of our company and we work with our content/product specialists on SEO and content on our website. The content strategy has taken the increased transparency on how our content actually performs on board and now Conductor is built into our content strategy as a reporting tool (dashboards, etc)
We used a number of free SEO tools but Conductor is our first big tool in this area. Though Conductor is a complex tool it has the breadth to cover all areas (keyword/search categories, workspaces, dashboards, competitor research, content suggestions) under one roof so to speak. This makes it a convenient choice to train our staff on rather than a suite of disparate tools.
