Overall Satisfaction with Conductor Searchlight

It is primarily used by strategists and local SEO champions to help them identify keywords associated with news topics. Due to the steep learning curve and cost, it is not suitable for a more broad deployment.
  • Suggest related keyword phrases.
  • Detail actual monthly search volume which Google Trends does not do.
  • Track keywords to help us understand our competitive position.
  • The site is heavy on jargon. Could it be designed to help answer questions?
  • The learning curve is steep. Training is good but requires a lot of time. What if there was a basic, user-defined starting dashboard that helped answer most common questions?
  • It has helped us refine our keyword targeting. The results are TBD as new strategies are in play.
There's no shortage of data but it is fragmented across the various interfaces which makes it somewhat complex.
It has helped improve our content SEO but the complexity of the product limits the number of users.
Conductor has provided top-notch support.
It's good for sophisticated SEO strategy development and tracking. It's not suitable for use in day-to-day work.

Using Conductor Searchlight

You have a lot of data and that certainly presents a challenge. However, I recommend some consulting on the UX so that the path to answers is more clear.
