Intro
Conductor Searchlight is used to manage your web presence, allowing you to engage customers throughout their buyers' journey. To learn more about the Conductor Searchlight API, visit their website (http://developers.conductor.com).
The Conductor Searchlight connector is a "Cloud App" connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking Cloud App in the toolbar at the top of the window.
You connect to your Conductor Searchlight account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Conductor Searchlight connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Best Practices
These reports can power cards individually, but sometimes it is helpful to combine the reports using Magic ETL so you can look at metrics like your keyword ranks compared to your competitor ranks, or to evaluate the search volume of your top ranked keywords. For more information about Magic ETL, see Magic Transforms.
