Breakout Q4 and 50+ New Enterprise Wins Confirm Conductor as the Platform of Choice for the AI Search Era

Conductor, the only end-to-end enterprise AEO platform, today announced strong Q4 results. The quarter was defined by record new enterprise logos, customer growth, and accelerated product innovation, as the market shifts investment from traditional websites to the AI-driven web.

With 98% of CMOs now prioritizing AEO, digital budgets are shifting rapidly—moving from 0% to 12% of annual spend. These tailwinds fueled a record fiscal year for Conductor and cemented its leadership in the enterprise. In Q4 alone, the company showcased more than 25 customer case studies demonstrating how its platform delivers superior AI Search performance.

Q4 highlights include:

• 147% attainment of ARR goal, driven by continued demand from enterprise brands investing in AI-powered search visibility and content performance
• 214% attainment of upsell goal, reflecting strong expansion within the existing customer base and increased adoption of advanced platform capabilities
• 125% attainment of gross new bookings goal, adding 50+ logos from top enterprises like Charter, Airbnb, Coca-Cola, and Atlassian, fueled by strong enterprise pipeline conversion and competitive displacement wins
• Launch of MCP (Model Context Protocol), enabling enterprises to connect Conductor’s AEO intelligence directly into AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot to improve accuracy, control, and brand visibility in AI-generated responses
• Included as a verified app in OpenAI’s new enterprise App Directory, the only platform in our category included at launch
• New agency partnerships with leading global firms, including Havas, Publicis, Overdrive, and Clutch, are expanding Conductor’s enterprise reach and joint go-to-market efforts

The results reflect a fundamental shift in how enterprises approach AI search visibility and content performance. As AI search becomes a greater priority, Conductor added over six thousand new users from functions including SEO, content, communications, digital marketing, PR, corporate strategy, and brand.

“Q4 was a major validation moment for both our industry and Conductor,” said Seth Besmertnik, CEO and Co-founder of Conductor. “Three years ago, we decided to go all-in on building a horizontal data platform. Now, our customers have every signal that makes up AI visibility in a singular, AI-native platform that no point solution can deliver. Our customers are taking this moment seriously, and we are proud to lead them into this new future.”

Besmertnik continued, “We make our pricing easy and value-driven. This enabled more than 50 enterprises to begin their AEO journey with us. Meanwhile, a significant portion of our growth was driven by customers increasing their investments with us. Our customer-first strategy is playing out. We grow when customers grow.”

Product momentum also accelerated in the Q4 release of industry-first capabilities to make leveraging and activating AI search insights easier than ever for the enterprise.

“Our focus this year has been expanding Conductor from an optimization platform into a system of intelligence for agentic orchestration in AI visibility,” said Wei Zheng, Chief Product Officer at Conductor. “With MCP and continued investment in unified website and AEO intelligence, we’re giving enterprises more control over how their content is connected to, interpreted by, and represented within AI systems. The growth we saw in Q4 confirms that customers are ready for this next phase.”
