What You Get Instead Of Running Conductor Yourself

Our managed WordPress SEO services cover the whole job: technical fixes, keyword strategy, on-page work, content, and the links that earn you authority. We audit your site, build a keyword map, and publish the changes into your WordPress install ourselves. You approve the direction and read the monthly numbers. Nobody on your team has to learn a crawler or a rank tracker to keep organic growth moving.

What the managed part actually means

Existing pages that have slipped get rewritten before new ones are commissioned. And each month you are told what moved, what did not, and what we intend to do about the second list.

We publish, you approve

Most agencies email you a list and wait. We work in your WordPress install and ship the changes ourselves, on a staging copy first where the risk warrants it.

Technical work included from day one

Crawl budget, Core Web Vitals, canonical tags, and schema are not a premium add-on here.

Content written, not just briefed

A brief is not a page. Our writers draft from live search result data, then the piece is published into WordPress already formatted, internally linked, and mapped to a keyword no other page of yours is chasing.

Links earned through real outreach

We pitch your business to publications and resources your audience already reads. No directories bought in bulk, no private blog networks, nothing that works for two quarters and then earns you a manual action.

Who this comparison is for

Small businesses competing on local search

If customers find you by searching a service plus a city, most of the opportunity sits in your Google Business Profile, your citations, and location pages that are genuinely different from one another.

WooCommerce stores that need category pages to rank

Category and collection pages do. We optimize them, control faceted navigation so crawlers do not drown in filter URLs, and get product schema output correctly so your listings are eligible for rich results.

Agencies that need SEO delivered under their brand

If you sell websites but not search, you can hand the retainer to us and keep the client relationship.

How our WordPress SEO process works

The first month is diagnosis and quick wins. After that the work settles into a monthly rhythm of technical fixes, new content, outreach, and reporting.

  1. 1

    We assess your current setup

    First we look at how things run today: what you already pay for, what is configured where, and which parts are actually causing you trouble.

  2. 2

    We audit and build the keyword map

    We document what is blocking indexing, what is slowing pages down, and where authority is leaking away. Then we build a keyword map that assigns every target to a specific page.

  3. 3

    We fix, write, and publish

    We publish everything into your WordPress install ourselves, on staging first where a change carries real risk, and you review before anything goes live.

  4. 4

    We report, then reprioritize

    Each month you get rankings, traffic, entry pages, and conversions, next to a plain-language account of what we did and what it moved.

How Conductor works

What Conductor does, in their own words

Conductor is an enterprise SEO platform. It does not publish prices, so the figures below are third-party procurement reports read in September 2026.

No published pricing (September 2026)Conductor quotes each organization rather than listing tiers, and directory listings record contact-vendor pricing only.
Procurement data puts contracts in five and six figuresThird-party reports describe roughly $27,000 to over $150,000 a year, with medians cited near $49,000 for mid-market deployments.
Contracts run one to three yearsSetup, onboarding and training are commonly priced separately from the platform fee.
Priced on scope, not seatsReports describe pricing built around domains tracked, pages monitored and content allocations rather than a per-user rate.
It is a platform, not a teamReviewers note that running it well needs internal people to configure it and act on what it says, which one G2 summary compared to two or three full-time salaries on top of the license.
Built for enterprise buyingA three-week trial sits inside an enterprise buying motion rather than self-serve signup.

Conductor alternative questions

Straight answers about switching, pricing, and what moves with you.
What does Cascadia do that Conductor leaves to me?
We publish the changes and you approve them. Most agencies email you a list and wait. We work in your WordPress install and ship the changes ourselves, on a staging copy first where the risk warrants it.
A technical audit and the fixes that follow, keyword research mapped page by page, on-page optimization published directly into WordPress, new SEO content, backlink auditing and link acquisition, local SEO where it applies, and monthly reporting on rankings, traffic, and conversions. The Growth plan adds more content and link work each month. Both plans include the technical and reporting work in full from day one.
Technical fixes can show up in weeks. Meaningful ranking and traffic movement usually takes three to six months, and competitive terms can take longer. The variables are your current authority, how much content already exists, and how entrenched the competition is. Anyone promising results in thirty days is either targeting terms nobody searches or is not being straight with you.
WordPress gives you a good foundation. Clean URLs, easy metadata, and a huge plugin ecosystem all help. What it does not give you is a strategy, or the technical tuning that separates a site that loads fast from one that merely runs. The platform removes some obstacles. It does not decide what you should rank for or earn you the right to rank for it.
Yes, and we will configure it properly. Rank Math and Yoast handle the plumbing: title tags, meta descriptions, sitemaps, and schema output. They are the tools, not the strategy. A plugin will tell you a page scores poorly. It will not research your market, write the page, or earn the links that let it rank. We use the plugin and do the rest.
We write it. Each piece starts from live search data, gets drafted by a writer, and is published into your WordPress install already formatted and internally linked. You review before anything goes live. If you have writers in house, we will brief them instead and optimize what they produce, whichever fits how your team already works.
Yes. That is the point of a managed service. We work in your WordPress install and publish the changes ourselves, on a staging copy first where the change carries any risk. You get told what changed and why. The alternative, where an agency emails you a list of recommendations to implement yourself, is where most SEO retainers quietly stall.
It depends on whether people search for what you sell. If they do, organic traffic compounds in a way paid traffic does not, and it keeps working after you stop spending. If your customers come entirely from referrals, or your niche is too small to generate search volume, your money is better spent elsewhere. We will tell you which one you are before you sign up.
Technical SEO is about whether search engines can crawl, render, and index your site properly: speed, structure, sitemaps, schema. On-page SEO is about whether a given page deserves to rank for a given term: the keyword it targets, the title, the headings, and the depth of the content. Technical work removes obstacles. On-page work is what actually earns the position.
Yes. If you serve customers in specific places, local work is included: Google Business Profile setup and maintenance, citation cleanup across the major directories, and location pages built with genuinely different content rather than one page with the city name swapped out. For businesses with a physical presence, this is often where the fastest returns come from.
