Summary
Conductor is an enterprise answer-engine-optimisation platform made of four products: Intelligence for AI and search visibility reporting, Creator for content generation, Monitoring for continuous technical site health, and AgentStack for API, MCP and agent access. Professional Services sell consulting alongside it.
- Best for
- Enterprise SEO and content teams that want AI visibility, classic SEO, content generation and technical monitoring in one platform, with budget for a five-to-six-figure annual contract.
- Not for
- Small teams or self-serve budgets, buyers who want public pricing, or anyone who needs Creator's content pipeline to support a custom workflow rather than Conductor's fixed one.
- Price
- Our usage-based model aligns the value you get to the price you pay.no public pricing
- Free trial
- PartlyTime-limited free trial with no standing free plan. Calls to action across the site read 'Try Conductor free for 3 weeks' while the free-trial page's own browser title says 30 days; no credit card is required, and separate trial sign-ups exist for Creator, Intelligence and Monitoring. A separate one-off 'Free AI Visibility Report' is a lead-generation snapshot delivered against an email address, not product access.
What it does
- Monitors AI answers
- YesConductor Intelligence tracks brand mentions, citations and sentiment inside AI answer engines, reported next to traditional search rank for the same brand and topics.
Track your mentions, citations, and sentiment in AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, right alongside your performance in traditional…
conductor.com/platform/intelligence - Optimises your content
- YesCreator analyses pages you already have, including pulling in a live URL, and returns specific improvement guidance and a coverage score before publication.
Optimize your content *before* you publish it—or pull in the content of a live page to learn how best to approach optimization.
conductor.com/docs/creator/writing-assi… - Generates content
- YesWriting Assistant drafts outlines and full content from a guided brief, and drafts are metered per plan at 60, 180 or custom per year.
Build a guided brief, generate an outline or draft, and improve existing content with real-time AEO recommendations while maintaining human control.
conductor.com/platform/content-creation… - Publishes to your site
- NoDrafts leave Conductor as a downloaded .docx brief; the CMS integrations surface recommendations inside Drupal and trigger audits in WordPress rather than pushing content live.
Just click **Download Brief** below your insights to generate a Microsoft .docx file with all your draft's insights.
conductor.com/docs/creator/writing-assi… - Technical AEO
- YesThe crawler evaluates AEO-specific page signals including schema coverage and AI robot directives, shown beside traditional SEO health on the Pages and Issues dashboards.
Conductor’s crawling infrastructure evaluates 25+ page-level signals relevant to how AI answer engines discover, crawl, and surface content: semantic…
conductor.com/platform/features/technic… - Done-for-you service
- YesA Professional Services team sells strategic consulting and project work, including building the personas, topics and prompts that the tracking runs on, scoped per engagement rather than as a standing retainer.
Software alone doesn't build an AEO program—people do. Conductor's Professional Services team pairs decades of enterprise search expertise with our…

Answer engines
- ChatGPT
- YesTwo distinct ChatGPT surfaces are tracked separately, the default Auto experience and the forced web Search mode, and they are priced at different credit rates.
**ChatGPT (Auto)**. This reflects the default experience when using OpenAI’s consumer ChatGPT product, which may include live web search results.
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - Perplexity
- YesPerplexity appears in the vendor's supported-engine list for AI Search Performance topic tracking and in the credits estimator at 0.2 credits per response.
Currently, Conductor supports the following AI search engines for AI Search Performance:
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - Gemini
- YesGemini is a supported engine, with the vendor warning that it only reaches the live web when it judges current information necessary, so coverage differs from a pure search engine.
**Gemini.** Note that, depending on the prompt, Gemini strategically uses live search only when it determines that external, current information is…
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - Google AI Overviews
- YesGoogle AIO is tracked as its own engine, covering the AI answers that appear inside the normal Google results page at the cheapest credit rate of the set.
**Google AIO**. This refers to Google's [AI Overview](/docs/platform/universal-result-type-faqs/#ai-overview) results.
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - Google AI Mode
- YesGoogle AI Mode is a separately selectable engine, though the vendor states city and state level tracking is not available for it.
**Google AI Mode**. This refers to queries made in Google's AI Mode.
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - Claude
- YesClaude is tracked on its default Sonnet model, but the vendor's location tables exclude it from both granular and many country level locations.
**Claude Sonnet**. This is the model Claude uses by default.
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - Microsoft Copilot
- YesMicrosoft Copilot is a supported engine for topic tracking, although specific city and state location tracking is not offered for it.conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear…
- Grok
- YesGrok is covered in its Auto mode and is one of the nine engines a buyer can select per topic, costing one credit per response.
**Grok (Auto)**
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - DeepSeek
- NoDeepSeek is absent from the vendor's own complete list of currently supported engines, and the vendor invites requests for engines it does not yet cover.
Currently, Conductor supports the following AI search engines for AI Search Performance: * **ChatGPT (Auto)** ... * **Claude Sonnet** ... *…
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - Meta AI
- NoMeta AI does not appear in the enumerated list of engines Conductor currently supports, nor in the credits estimator which prices each selectable engine.
If there are specific engines that you think we should add to the platform, please let us know: [Conductor Support](mailto:support@conductor.com)
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - Coverage in the vendor’s words
- YesNine engine surfaces are supported and chosen per topic, each consuming a different credit rate per response, so engine breadth is a budget decision rather than a plan limit.
Choose specifically which engines to track—including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AIO—and view clear credit usage forecasts to…

What it reports
- Names the cited sources
- YesCitations are counted per source link and attributed to the exact cited domains and pages, with a dedicated Citations endpoint in the Data API returning the cited source URLs.
An **AI Citation** refers to an instance where an AI response explicitly cites your website as a source for its information, often including a direct…
conductor.com/platform/features/ai-sear… - Competitor tracking
- YesRival brands sit in the same market share view, with a hard tracked-competitor ceiling of 5 on Essentials and 25 on Growth before Enterprise custom limits.
Analyze competitor market share, track their content strategies, and find actionable insights to outperform them in both AI and traditional search.
conductor.com/platform/intelligence - Brand sentiment
- YesSentiment is classified positive, negative or neutral and categorised by business driver such as price, service or quality, then traced to the exact statement and source domain.
Our platform automatically categorizes sentiment statements, allowing you to move beyond a vague positive or negative trend and pinpoint the exact…
conductor.com/platform/features/ai-sear… - Recommendations
- YesThe platform does not stop at reporting: visibility gaps hand off into prioritised recommendations and Creator drafts, and technical issues are ranked by business impact.
Get prioritized recommendations directly connected to your AI content workflows to drive immediate ROI.
conductor.com/platform/features/ai-sear… - AI crawler analytics
- PartlyAI bot crawl reporting requires ingesting your server or CDN logs, and the plan table marks Log File Analysis merely Available on Essentials and Growth while only Enterprise has it included.
Log File Analysis (incl. AI Crawler)
conductor.com/pricing - Wrong answers about you
- PartlyThere is no dedicated false-claim detector; the vendor positions incorrect AI answers as something you spot through full response exports, sentiment statements and their sources.
Flag customer pain points or incorrect AI responses before they snowball into larger problems.
conductor.com/platform/features/mcp-ser…
Plans and signing up
- Prompt or credit allowance
- YesAllowances are annual AI Search Credits, 2,500 per year on both Essentials and Growth, and credits are consumed per AI response at engine-specific rates rather than per prompt.
AI Search Credits 2,500 / yr 2,500 / yr Custom
conductor.com/pricing - Projects or brands
- YesSeveral websites and brands fit in one account, capped at 3 tracked websites on Essentials and 5 on Growth, with brands configured per web property.
Websites Tracked 3 5 Custom
conductor.com/pricing - Countries
- YesCountry and language level tracking is offered wherever the engine APIs expose it, but city and state level tracking is excluded on Claude Sonnet, Google AI Mode and Copilot.
Specific location tracking is available for prompts tracked on all supported engines except Claude Sonnet, Google AI Mode, and Microsoft Copilot.
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - How often it checks
- YesCadence is set per topic as daily, weekly or monthly, and the vendor warns that daily collection substantially increases credit consumption for those prompts.
Conductor lets you choose the tracking cadence per topic so you can match each topic’s importance and pace: * **Daily** — for high-priority or…
conductor.com/docs/intelligence/ai-sear… - Card required to start
- NoThe trial sign-up page states plainly that no card is needed, and the three product trials each start from a self-serve form rather than a payment step.
No credit card needed
conductor.com/free-trial - Self-serve signup
- PartlyOnly the Essentials plan carries a self-serve Try for Free path; Growth is sold through Request a Demo and Enterprise through Contact Sales, so paid access needs a conversation.conductor.com/pricing
Access and integrations
- API
- PartlyA documented Data API exists with a public playground, but the plan table marks it only Available on Essentials and Growth and Included on Enterprise alone.

conductor.com/platform/features/data-api - MCP server
