​​Brunswick Corporation is a global leader in marine recreation, manufacturing and marketing a portfolio of iconic boat brands including Boston Whaler, Sea Ray, Harris, Lund, Lowe, and Crestliner. With 15,000 employees worldwide, Brunswick serves distinct audiences across the boating spectrum—from weekend fishing enthusiasts to luxury yacht buyers.

How Conductor helped

Modernized legacy content with Writing Assistant

Brunswick's legacy content sat on valuable, keyword-rich URLs that had built authority over the years. The team didn't want to abandon those URLs, but the content desperately needed updating.

Rather than starting from scratch, Brunswick used Writing Assistant to systematically optimize pages while preserving their existing SEO equity. Writing Assistant assessed content in real-time by assigning a clear content score and pinpointing exactly what needed work—whether that was restructuring for readability, strengthening headlines, or filling coverage gaps. The People Also Ask feature consistently surfaced questions Brunswick's audience was actually asking, turning good pages into comprehensive resources that matched search intent.

This approach worked across the entire portfolio:

  • Boston Whaler refreshed its trusted DIY guides with modern techniques and better metadata
  • Lund turned fishing show transcripts from YouTube into optimized articles, giving that expert content a second life in search
  • Lowe and Crestliner transformed technical product specs into compelling stories that actually convert
  • Sea Ray maintained its luxury voice while optimizing during a complete site migration
  • Harris updated existing blogs and created new content that drove meaningful year-over-year traffic growth

[With Writing Assistant] we can take a URL and just completely revamp the content, bring it up to speed, and make it sound up-to-date, more exciting, and engaging, and relaunch it almost like a brand new piece of content.

Scaled SEO expertise

Brunswick's SEO capacity was limited to a handful of specialists who understood the technical complexities that mattered. To modernize content at scale across their portfolio of brands, they needed to expand who could execute on AEO / SEO strategy.

Writing Assistant's real-time scoring and recommendations gave non-technical marketers clear guidance on what to optimize and why. Brand team members could see exactly which headlines needed improvement, specifically where optimizations were needed, and whether content adequately answered target queries—without needing to interpret complex SEO data.

The Research feature provided keyword insights and competitor analysis in accessible formats, allowing content creators to make strategic decisions independently.

When insight meets imagination, SEO stops being technical and becomes transformational. Conductor's tools do more than drive rankings—they help us build relationships through relevance.
