Conductor

Conductor is a New York–based website optimization and intelligence platform built for enterprise SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and content teams. Its flagship Conductor AI platform unifies AI content generation, traditional SEO, AI search visibility, and real-time technical monitoring so digital teams can plan, create, optimize, and measure content in one place. With a strong focus on AI search, Conductor helps brands increase visibility across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other answer engines while safeguarding site health.

The platform is organized into three core products: Conductor Creator for AI-driven content generation and optimization, Conductor Intelligence for AI and traditional search insights and performance reporting, and Conductor Monitoring for 24/7 site auditing, alerting, and change tracking. Conductor emphasizes unlimited user licenses on all plans, enabling SEO and content insights to be democratized across marketing, product, and web development teams. Deep integrations with analytics, search, CMS, and workflow tools allow organizations to connect SEO and content work directly to traffic, conversions, and revenue.

Founded in 2006 as a marketing services company, Conductor launched its Searchlight SaaS platform in 2010 and quickly became one of the leading enterprise SEO solutions. The company was acquired by WeWork in 2018 and then executed a management buyout in 2019, becoming an employee-owned, independent business. In 2021 Conductor raised $150M led by Bregal Sagemount to accelerate product innovation and global expansion, bringing total funding to over $210M. Subsequent acquisitions of ContentKing (real-time SEO monitoring) in 2022 and Searchmetrics in 2023 expanded its technical SEO coverage and market footprint.

Today, Conductor positions itself as the only enterprise Website Optimization & Intelligence platform that unifies 10+ years of proprietary website data with purpose-built AI. It is consistently recognized as a Leader in the Forrester Wave for SEO platforms and is top-rated on G2, TrustRadius, and SoftwareReviews by enterprise users. Conductor serves hundreds of mid-market and enterprise brands across industries such as finance, retail, healthcare, technology, and travel, including household names like Microsoft, Citibank, FedEx, Adidas, Verizon, and Zoom.
