Product overview
What is Conductor?
Conductor Intelligence tracks brand mentions, citations, and sentiment across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Perplexity plus traditional search, and connects that visibility to traffic, conversions, and revenue via a Google Analytics integration.
Conductor Monitoring (descended from the acquired ContentKing product) continuously crawls the customer's own site for technical and content issues and fires real-time alerts — this is confirmed site-health auditing, but is explicitly NOT confirmed to include logging which AI bots (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, etc.) crawl the site, despite homepage marketing copy implying otherwise.
Conductor Creator drafts (but does not auto-publish) on-brand content, and Conductor AgentStack exposes the same intelligence through an MCP Server and Data API for building custom agents and BI dashboards.
Sold on usage-based Essentials/Growth/Enterprise tiers to large enterprises and through an agency/technology partner program; off-page link-building and citation outreach are handled through a named third-party partner (Noble), not natively by Conductor.
Based on its published feature set, Conductor brings brand mention monitoring, citation tracking, sentiment analysis, competitor benchmarking, share-of-voice reporting, and recommended fixes into one workflow, with 4 more verified capabilities documented below.
How it measures AI visibility
The recorded coverage spans ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Who it's for
Best for
"#1 for Enterprise AEO... Where Enterprises Go to Win AI Search." Explicitly built for large, complex organizations ("the only AEO platform engineered for enterprise complexity and scale") and also runs a formal partner program for marketing agencies (Havas, Publicis, WPP Media, Razorfish, Overdrive, Material Plus) and technology partners (Acquia, IBM, Optimizely) who embed its data via API/MCP.
Skip if
You need prompt discovery, content publishing, off-site citation building — we confirmed those aren't offered.
“"AEO point solutions like Profound offer basic AI visibility measurement but lack the data depth, enterprise workflow integration, and infrastructure that large organizations require. Conductor is the only end-to-end AEO platform, combining AI search tracking, content strategy, scaled content generation, and 24/7 website monitoring in one unified platform powered by 10+ years of proprietary search data." — conductor.com/partners FAQ”

Pricing
Conductor's pricing page ↗| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials | Custom | For smaller teams establishing the foundation of AEO + SEO with core capabilities and reporting. Full notesHide notes'For smaller teams establishing the foundation of AEO + SEO with core capabilities and reporting.' 60 Writing Assistant Drafts/Year. AEO + SEO Performance Reporting: 1,000 Pages Analyzed, 500 Tracked Keywords, 5 Tracked Competitors — NO 'AI Search Credits/Year' line is printed for this tier at all (Growth and Enterprise both list one; see notes — this looks like a genuine per-tier feature gate, not an omission on my part). Website Monitoring: 100,000 Pages Monitored, 3 Tracked Websites — no '24/7' qualifier printed for this tier specifically (Growth/Enterprise both explicitly say '24/7'; Essentials' monitoring line does not). CTA is 'Try for Free', which routes to a genuine self-serve 3-week trial signup (see trial fields) — this is the only tier with anything self-serve; no price is ever shown before or during that signup. |
| Growth | Custom | 24/7 For scaling teams integrating and automating workflows to drive performance. Full notesHide notes'For scaling teams integrating and automating workflows to drive performance.' 180 Writing Assistant Drafts/Year. AEO + SEO Performance Reporting: 2,500 AI Search Credits/Year, 25,000 Pages Analyzed, 5,000 Tracked Keywords, 25 Tracked Competitors. Website Monitoring: 500,000 Pages Monitored, explicitly '24/7', 5 Tracked Websites. CTA is 'Request a Demo' — no self-serve path at all, unlike Essentials. |
| Enterprise | Custom | 24/7 For global, cross-functional organizations needing advanced reporting, governance, and scalability. Full notesHide notes'For global, cross-functional organizations needing advanced reporting, governance, and scalability.' 600 Writing Assistant Drafts/Year. AEO + SEO Performance Reporting: 2,500+ AI Search Credits/Year, 125,000+ Pages Analyzed, 60,000+ Tracked Keywords, 75+ Tracked Competitors (all printed with a '+', i.e. floors on a custom/negotiated plan, not caps — recorded as the printed floor number, not estimated higher). Website Monitoring: '24/7 Monitoring for websites of any size', 10+ Tracked Websites. CTA is 'Request a Demo' / 'Contact Sales'. |
