Considered Both Products
Conductor
Chose Conductor
I looked at several other platforms but Conductor won me over by the people I interacted with and their commitment to product updates.
Chose Conductor
We tried Surfer SEO before Conductor. It just felt like it didn't have enough to offer in comparison to Conductor. There was a shortage on everything that you could do in the platform and it felt like the lack of in-depth tools caused us to miss out on making sure our content …
Chose Conductor
I have used SEMRush in the past. I particularly like Conductor because of its versatility and ability to drill down to specifics.
Chose Conductor
We used SEMRush before - but that was hard to scale. Conductor did a better job in that
Chose Conductor
Our company has only used Conductor for the past 2 years.
Chose Conductor
Semrush, Siteimprove, Similarweb, Moz Link Explorer and Screaming Frog SEO Spider
Chose Conductor
Our entire team tested the above and some others I can't recall at this time. They all had their pros and cons. We preferred to go with Conductor because of its ease of use, ease of deployment, and lowered costs.
Chose Conductor
I have used many SEO campaign platforms like Conductor. Conductor UX leads to a good SEO workflow for me. I don't really even understand why. I have used SEMRush a lot, AHrefs an awful lot, and BrightEdge a little, and I love doing SEO analysis in Conductor and spend way more …
Chose Conductor
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 …
Chose Conductor
We have looked at a few other competitors or other SAAS options but none of them offered the number and quality of tools and resources that Conductor offered especially for the flexible pricing we found with Conductor.
Chose Conductor
We moved to Conductor because the functionality matched what we were looking for. Price was not as much of a factor, thankfully, because Conductor is expensive.
Chose Conductor
We switched to Conductor from Brightedge because the team at Brightedge didn't seem very helpful during our weekly calls, and the platform was tough to use. The features were not laid out in a very logical or user-friendly fashion, and it was often difficult to accomplish even …
Chose Conductor
SEMRush was targeted for the small/medium business and fell short with the number of accounts and projects we needed to run. I feel it also has a cumbersome pricing structure. Botify, albeit an amazing technical auditing tool wasn't the right software for what we need right …
Chose Conductor
My company needed a full end-to-end solution and not just keyword data. Moz wasn't robust enough, and BrightEdge was lacking ease of usability.
Chose Conductor
We used Moz to introduce SEO to the organization. Once we had executive buy-in, the natural next step was to move to an advanced enterprise platform. Conductor offers an easier interface and more options in terms of competitor analysis, reporting, support, research, content …
Chose Conductor
We switched from BrightEdge mainly due to my recommendation based on my past experience with Conductor. The main reason was the advancements in technology that Conductor had demonstrated during our initial conversations. We were certain that the tool simply had more to offer …
Chose Conductor
We were using another company. Do not feel comfortable giving the name but our Conductor Searchlight teams know who it is. We were just left to figure everything out on our own. With Conductor Searchlight, they are always helping.
Chose Conductor
We dealt with an agency that made custom recommendations. Conductor is easier to use, and the recommendations are easier to put into practice. Also, I don't have to wait until the weekly meeting to get answers and insights.
Chose Conductor
We switched to Conductor for several reasons: Explorer is a feature that other tools do not have. It is very helpful to be able to see how your website is working as a whole vs. just the keywords you are tracking. Content research was something that was missing from our …
Chose Conductor
I have been in SEO for over a decade, and in that time, I have used just about every tool on the market. Conductor is the tool we get the most useful insights from in the easiest way. The support and help we get from the Conductor team are one of the main reasons we ignore the …
Chose Conductor
We liked that Conductor offered many different tools in one easier-to-use platform. The price point was right for us. I had experience with other tools but had never used Conductor, and I liked what I saw in the demos we were given. It hasn't disappointed me yet!
Nozzle
Chose Nozzle
Nozzle is fitting in very well between my other Trackers (SerpWoo, SerpStat & Ubersuggest). As it confirms data focus and keyword ranking positions that other tools miss in some way or other, I can focus on easy picks for SERP position growth hacks then move to other tools to …
Chose Nozzle
They are quite different in terms of functionality. The unlimited competitor analysis and brand tracking, data integration are a huge plus for me. Ahrefs and Semrush have established players in the market. Nozzle is able to provide additional insights. One of the biggest issues …
Chose Nozzle
I have not used very many other products as I'm a fairly new business owner and am a novice in SEO. But I have used morningscore and while Morningscore is more user friendly, it is very expensive if you want multiple competitors and multiple clients and so I highly recommend …
Chose Nozzle
I used BiQ before. And this honestly almost doesn't even compare. I was blown away by the insights you gain using Nozzle. The amount of metrics you get is just awesome. Also BiQ only allow one competitor per website tracked. Which just isn't how real life SEO works. Nozzle …
Chose Nozzle
They all provide rank tracking and data but what nozzle provides is truly amazing. Also, the price point is extremely affordable
Chose Nozzle
Easier to onboard, and easier to use. Even though there were a lot of functions, Authoritas was too complicated for me, and I could not see myself using it over the long term I felt that the Nozzle UI was better, the Nozzle team was honest, competent, and I decided to invest …

Conductor has proven to be an effective tool for tracking our organic search visibility, researching trends and content topics, and beginning our optimization journey in the new AI-driven world of search. The platform is exceptional for collaboration and is easy to use. Having deeper integration of search-related AI data and tools, organic shopping, schema tracking, and suggestions would further improve an already excellent product offering.

Nozzle is the right tool for any digital agency professional interested in making data-driven decisions. If keyword tracking or SEO as a whole is a part of a project, then Nozzle is a great tool to have access to. In short, if the word SEO is somewhere in the project description, then Nozzle should be listed as a required tool.

Pros
  • Keyword research (includes related terms, types of terms, high ranking pages, search volume, and more)
  • Content guidance and briefs (you can use built in tools to get specific optimization steps and create content briefs within the tool)
  • Competitor research (compare how competition is ranking and track organic market share)
  • Support (dedicated team support, regular check-ins, built-in requests for deliverables/support items, options for requesting work with partner organizations, excellent training materials, and live chat within the platform)

  • - It is great that we can change data SERP frequency to be daily / weekly / monthly / etc to save on limits (My current tracker can’t do this)
  • - LOTS of data, and many ways to visualize them
  • - Customer service is efficient, you can get them on Live chat. They also have an active Slack channel, and replies are really quick

Cons
  • I would like to see a feature to manage the backlink disavow list through search console. If Conductor is able to add this, we may be able to drop one of our other tools and save some money in that area.
  • Conductor has a lot of features and can be a bit overwhelming. It is a strength and a weakness, as it takes time to learn all that is available.
  • Another feature I would like to see is more integration with GA, we leverage creating annotations in GA and it would be great to have those pulled into the Conductor dashboard automatically.

  • It is hard to understand as a novice in SEO, more hover explanations would be helpful
  • I do not think they have automatic reports and notifications but this would be nice to have
  • Their sign in process is a bit odd, as you sign in and then get emailed a link

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.

Usability
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.

It's been sort of off and on in the 2 years I've used it. The live chat has been really helpful many times, and they're quick to respond. We had different support contacts but they've all been good. I think they've recently changed the way they provide support that I believe will be more dedicated and hands-on

Implementation Rating
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.

Return on Investment
  • The Live Edit feature in Content King has given me the ability to make changes on the fly without having to wait for developer time to make simple edits.
  • I have been able to gain back hours of time that I previously spent on aggregating data across tools when preparing on-the-fly reports for management.
  • Every morning my dashboard provides me with a new insight or answers a question I may not have even thought to ask. This has added to my workload, but it's also helped to become better at my job.

  • It was able to track multiple key words for 3 companies quickly
