Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Conductor to gain insight into SEO performance across our largest flagship websites. It also provides an efficient way to relay that information to management at a high level without getting too much in the weeds, a requirement when communicating with C-level employees or board members. It has made my life less stressful as the sole person responsible for SEO in a global organization.

Pros

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.

Cons

Some of the automated tools designed for creating and grouping keywords can leave a lot to be desired. This is a hard thing to do across a lot of industries, but I would hope they can use AI to improve this.
The customizable dashboards are great but setting them up can be a bit overwhelming due to the sheer number of choices available, and some of the options are hard to be aware of if you haven't been through some of their academy courses.

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Conductor for SEO optimization, monitoring our rankings, and competitor analysis.

Their product, team, and community resources are so outstanding. The onboarding calls we had really set us up for success, and their help documentation, blogs, and webinars have continued to allow us to use the tool as efficiently as possible.

Into our second year, they came up with a custom priced plan for our use case since we are a smaller business and the cost was getting to be a little too expensive. They also always seem to be dropping new features without making insane changes to the UI, so when things get added everything is in a similar spot and it is not invasive.

We love the weekly reports we get about our progress, which has been great for presenting progress to our leadership team. Some of the features are not as useful to those who have smaller scope or a small team, but this is very negligible.

Pros

Customer Support
Product Personalization
Features
Help Docs
Regular Webinars for Industry Updates

Cons

Page Groups - they do not auto-organize pages with no traffic
Customized pricing from the start for smaller businesses

Return on Investment

Because we are so niche, SEO has been the only channel to bring in ROI for us
The automated reports make getting data to our leadership team so easy

Other Software Used

HubSpot Marketing Hub, Asana, Slack, Canva, Google Ad Manager

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Conductor with 80 content writers. It helps them get up to date with SEO possibilities and SEO knowledge. These writers are really good writers, but lack specialist knowledge about SEO. We use it for all our pages on our site and both our domains (total more than 30K pages)
