Where to find it
Clicking Recommendations opens a side panel in the Overview tab of the AI Search Performance.
Review your recommendations
Scope your recommendations
Conductor generates recommendations in the panel based on the controls and filters you have configured in the report. So, if you have configured the report to show data for one particular website, about responses from one particular AI engine and topic, your recommendations will be scoped to that website, AI engine, and topic.Group your recommendations
When you first open the Recommendations panel, you’ll need to decide where to start. To help, recommendations can be grouped across three different dimensions:- Urgency (the default grouping). Groups recommendations by urgency, so you can focus on what matters most first.
- Goal. Groups recommendations by goal metrics, so you can focus on one signal type at a time.
- Workstream. Groups recommendations by type of work, so you can focus on one action type at a time.

How recommendations work
Conductor’s Recommendations engine constantly evaluates data signals to identify gaps or threats indicated by your data.Source data
Conductor uses data from the most-recent, complete time period to evaluate for recommendations. This means:- If you track prompts weekly, you’ll see recommendations based on responses gathered during your most-recent—but fully completed—week of data.
- If you track prompts monthly, you’ll see recommendations based on responses gathered during your most-recent—but fully completed—month of data.
Prioritization
Each recommendation is assigned a priority score based on how many “priority boosters” are present within the topic for that trigger. Priority boosters are additional data signals that indicate increased severity—for example, your mentions being at 0%, a competitor’s mentions exceeding 50%, or multiple competitors ranking ahead of you. The more boosters present, the higher the priority score. These scores are then translated to a 1–10 scale, with 1 being the highest priority.What makes up a Recommendation?
Each recommendation features:- A Signal: The specific data point that triggered the rule.
- An Interpretation: What this means for your performance.
- Why it Matters: The business impact of the signal.
- Suggested Actions: One to three clear pathways into relevant workflows to address the signal.
