Conductor is a great tool to use when we're planning and optimizing content around specific trends. It also helps us track our on-going performance as well, which is great to help us improve. Conductor is less ideal for content that has a quick turnaround time or pieces where SEO isn't a priority, also if you're looking to manage content publishing directly. It's more useful when it comes to strategy and optimization for in-depth pieces.

• competition tracking
• keyword tracking with tagging and historical rankings positions
• SoV (share of voice) metrics that helps to understand traffic opportunities
• Grump ;) (their Tiger that shows you current Google algo behavior)
• keyword discovery - they can show you where you have some opportunities to get more traffic with your current content
• more data and reports when you integrate GSC and GA

Incentivized

• When I need to quickly determine what Google features our keywords are ranking for: Featured Snippets, Carousels, Rich Snippets, Sitelinks, PAA boxes, etc.
• The ability to create highly customizable dashboards that provide a one-page view of insights for the specific web properties you are tracking.
• A content guidance tool that is unmatched by any other product available in the market.

Incentivized

• action dashboard - with commands what to do today, what should I focus on first place, to create targets and a way how to reach them
• email reports - should be embeded into message, not added as pdf attachement. Just like Google Search Console is doing it.
• add Google Places as a separate report/tool

Incentivized

• Backlink tracking/reporting (would like to see backlinks more easily and maybe backlink opportunities if possible)
• Custom content briefs (right now I move the brief from the platform version into our own in-house Word doc template because it is more detailed. Would love to be able to customize the brief that is set up within Conductor so that we can do it all in one place.)

Conductor enables high-value SEO activity. There are a lot of moving parts in SEO and I'm always open to products that fit our requirements, but Conductor has built a stronger argument for its value after we subscribed than it had when we subscribed -- that's rare.

I check features like the InsightStream every Monday to monitor any major losses or gains in performance. These are easily digested and save me tons of time searching for these insights manually. If there's anything "worth calling home about" I can easily add insights into a workspace and create a report to communicate these results. It's super easy to use Conductor with a team and across departments.

Always works when I've needed it

The Conductor support team is excellent, especially our Customer Success manager. Our monthly calls to review our wins, losses, and key takeaways for the next steps are incredibly helpful, and Conductor's platform provides not only an organic search tool for our company but also a learning resource via our Customer Success calls.

Our in house SEO manager trained everyone. It was easy to learn and he was well versed with the product. Any questions we had he was able to answer or reach out to support to find the answer

I definitely recommend their professional services for getting started. It got our account 90% of the way to where we needed to be in order to gain value from it. In fact, I'd suggest that with few exceptions (such as, you have a staff that is already familiar with the platform and doesn't need any help), the quick start services over the first 30-90 days should be a standard part of onboarding with any new client. It definitely got us to the point of gaining ROI from the solution and, in turn, will make it easier to justify renewal and continued investment in it.

• allows to group keywords (by tags) and reports tags as a bunch of kws
• competition reporting (with keywords positions and rank tracking in time)
• SoV - share of voice - metric, that allows you to see true potential of your keywords
• search intent - identifies informational/navigational/commercial/transactional keywords (even in Polish!)
• integration with Google Analytics and Google Search Console gives more and more data that you may analyze

We didn't use another product previously, we used an agency that did everything for us, so bringing Organic SEO in-house was why we went with Conductor. I have used other products in other roles and at other companies and each has its strengths. Conductor is good for large enterprises
