Conductor
Updated 2026-10-03Enterprise SEO and content-intelligence platform repositioned around AEO, serving customers including Airbnb and Coca-Cola. It has raised $210M and recently launched a CMS-facing Content API, a unified Pages Report, and an AEO platform partnership with Optimizely.
Three scores, refreshed weekly from live market signals rather than a once-a-year analyst report. Presence is how established a vendor is in the market right now. Velocity is how fast they are shipping, raising, and winning customers. Agent Readiness is how easily your own agents can build on them through an API, MCP server, SDK, or CLI. Scores are relative across the vendors we track; the raw inputs ship in the downloadable dataset.
The Solution & Approach
Conductor is an enterprise SEO and content-intelligence platform retrofitted for AEO. It combines AI-visibility tracking, content-gap mapping, content scoring, recommendations, and execution with its established search-ranking and technical-site data.
Its AgentStack adds APIs, an MCP server, native LLM surfaces, and turnkey AEO agents. The Content API extends its research, generation, and optimization capabilities into external content systems, while Pages Report evaluates AI visibility and traditional search performance together at the page level.
Conductor describes the platform as a "system of record for AEO." Its category strategy centers on consolidating AEO and SEO workflows, then distributing that intelligence through enterprise CMS and DXP partners including Acquia and Optimizely.
