The Eight Questions

Each one is something you can test in a trial of either tool. A cell that says “not stated” means we found no page that says it, not that the tool cannot do it.

1. Lowest Listed Price

   What the cheapest thing on the price page costs, and what it buys.

   Conductor

   “2,500 AI Search Credits / Year … Request a Demo”conductor.com, read 2026-10-05Our reading: No dollar figure. The plan table lists 2,500 AI search credits a year on Essentials and Growth and a custom amount on Enterprise; Essentials links to a free three-week trial, Growth to a demo.

   AEOSearch

   A free scorecard: 4 questions on ChatGPT and Gemini. A report of your own from $25, priced before you pay.

2. Assistants Measured

   Which AI assistants the numbers come from.

   Conductor

   “Currently, Conductor supports the following engines across over 160 countries: … ChatGPT (Auto) … ChatGPT (Search) … Claude Sonnet … Gemini … Google AI Mode … Google AIO … Grok (Auto) … Microsoft Copilot … Perplexity”conductor.com, read 2026-10-05

   AEOSearch

   ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode. You choose which ones a report asks.

3. Times Each Question Is Asked

   An assistant answers the same question differently from one run to the next, so a number built on one answer per question can move on a reroll.

   Conductor

   “Tracking frequency can be set to Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. … Note that Daily tracking will substantially increase your credit usage for the prompts you track at a daily frequency.”conductor.com, read 2026-10-05Our reading: Daily, weekly or monthly, chosen per topic, and each answer spends credits. The setup guide advises 7–8 answers per prompt before a change counts; how many stand behind one number is not stated.

   AEOSearch

   Once or 3 times per question, chosen before you pay and printed on the report.

4. Model Named on the Answer

   ChatGPT is several models, and they disagree. A number that does not say which one answered cannot be checked against the app.

   Conductor

   “ChatGPT (Auto). This reflects the default experience when using OpenAI’s consumer ChatGPT product … Claude Sonnet. This is the model Claude uses by default.”conductor.com, read 2026-10-05Our reading: Model families, with no version numbers.

   AEOSearch

   Stored with every answer, and printed on the report for each engine whose provider reports it.

5. Web Search Labelled

   An answer written without a web search reports what a model remembers, not what the live assistant says today.

   Conductor

   “Indicates how the search engine retrieved the response. … Live Search uses real-time web data to answer the prompt.”conductor.com, read 2026-10-05Our reading: Collected through the assistants' official APIs wherever one exists, per Conductor, with each answer labelled Live Search or Static Search.

   AEOSearch

   Stored with every answer. The report says, engine by engine, whether web search was on, and for Claude and Perplexity, how many answers searched.

6. Answers You Can Read

   Whether the full answer behind a number opens when you ask for it.

   Conductor

   “the full text of the AI search response for each prompt.”conductor.com, read 2026-10-05

   AEOSearch

   Every answer is stored in full, and the report opens the text behind its numbers.

7. Branded Questions Counted Apart

   A question that already names you is one you will almost always win. Mixed into the headline, it inflates it.

   Conductor

   “Values might be Branded or Unbranded. Specifies whether the prompt explicitly names a company, brand, or unique product (branded) or does not (unbranded).”conductor.com, read 2026-10-05

   AEOSearch

   Yes. Questions that name you or a competitor you track are scored apart from the ones that name none of them.

8. Changes to Your Site

   Whether it edits your site, and whether each edit can be undone.

   Conductor

   “Create high-quality, on-brand content that is fully optimized for AI search—without manual drafting or prompt iteration.”conductor.com, read 2026-10-05Our reading: Writes drafts; no page we read says it publishes to your site or how to undo it.

   AEOSearch

   Only through our plugins, only after you opt in on that site, and every change carries a rollback. The platform itself never edits your site.

Check Us the Same Way

Run the free scorecard: it shows the stored answer for up to three questions you lost, and a paid report opens every answer behind every number, with the model where the provider names one, the search label and the full text. The standard lists the five marks every number carries, and the other comparisons ask the same questions of every tool on the list. Something here wrong about Conductor?
