New in Conductor: Expand Content with AI & Get On-Demand Redirect Checks

Maximize your website’s impact with an AI content co-pilot, refreshed keyword group reporting, and much more.

If you’re reading this, you likely know the impact that generative AI is having on SEO and organic traffic. After all, according to our 2024 Organic Search Traffic Benchmarks Report, Microsoft.com increased traffic by 23% from April 2024 to June 2024, coinciding with Google’s rollout of its AI Overviews search experience.

However, this report also found that just boosting traffic isn’t everything when it comes to driving engagement and conversions in AI-powered search. To fuel growth, you need to focus on driving high-quality traffic that is likely to convert. That said, creating user experiences that resonate with your audience takes significant time and resources.

Conductor’s latest releases include a new way to help you fight AI with AI. Generate fully written copy in Writing Assistant with the click of a button, efficiently analyze content segments from the revamped Keyword Groups report, and unlock new protections against redirect chains and loops. You’ll have everything you need to find richer content opportunities, build better experiences in less time, and keep your site technically sound. Dive into what’s new this month, including:

• Expand text with AI
• New look and feel for Keyword Groups
• Solve redirect chains and loops on demand
• And much more

Expand and refine your content with your AI co-pilot

Remember the days when writer's block meant staring at a blank page for hours? Those days are officially over. Now in Writing Assistant, highlight any text and instantly generate personalized copy built for your specific project and goals. Our content engine collaborates with you to expand and refine your copy while ensuring your unique perspectives, creativity, and judgement are factored into the final output.

Here's how it works: just select any section of your draft—whether it's a brief bullet point or a full paragraph—and click "expand selection." Writing Assistant then springs into action, generating additional content that flows seamlessly with your existing work. But you're not just receiving, you're collaborating. Every insight card in Writing Assistant is fully customizable, meaning you can manually edit objectives and audience cards to fit your individual niche. As you edit cards, or adjust your draft, all this information is fed back into our prompts to make the next suggestion even better.

Through this collaboration, every new sentence will feel like a natural extension of your own thoughts. You'll get more engaging and more authentic content. Content you'll actually want to use and your audiences will want to read. It’s that human-guided approach that sets Writing Assistant apart.

And by combining AI with personalized intelligence, you'll create better content, faster, while saving time and resources. Best of all, you don’t need any AI expertise or prompt engineering skills to get started. Add your custom inputs, highlight the copy you want to expand, and let Writing Assistant take care of the rest.

Keyword Groups report: A fresh look for smarter insights

We've got a new twist on an old favorite. Keyword Groups has an updated look, designed to provide clearer insights at a glance and streamline your SEO workflows. The new design features an updated filter bar for simpler, more efficient filtering and eye-catching performance cards that surface key trends in your keyword group performance. Plus, the new Share icon (replacing the Add to Workspace button) makes collaboration a breeze, allowing you to easily share your insights across your organization.

From this fresh interface, you can continue using your favorite workflows to set up dynamic rules that automatically categorize keywords based on your defined criteria. Set up intent-based keyword groups to track performance across your customer journey and build a more effective content strategy.

Whether you're segmenting by product lines, audience intent, functional teams, or campaign efforts, the revamped Keyword Groups report makes it easier than ever to connect your SEO strategy to your broader business goals.

Outsource your redirect troubleshooting

Struggling to stay on top of redirect issues after a site migration? Or, just looking to optimize your crawl budget? With the latest offering in Conductor's Marketplace, Redirect Chains and Loops Check, you won’t have to worry about tracking down troublesome redirect chains and loops within your own website. Instead, we’ll check your site for you and notify you of any redirects that create poor user experiences and prevent your pages from being found in search.

Conductor Website Monitoring customers can check any of their domains for redirect chains and loops by requesting this service directly within Marketplace. Simply choose the domain you want to analyze, and our team of experts will deliver a comprehensive report listing out your opportunities, suggesting next steps, and helping you track your progress. It's like having a seasoned SEO pro guiding you through the process, step by step.

Whether you've recently migrated your site or just want to give visitors a smoother journey, by streamlining your redirects, you're not just tidying up your site structure; you're optimizing for better search performance, an improved user experience and are well on your way to higher conversions.
