Profound

AI answer-engine visibility platform

PaidSEO, growth & newslettertryprofound.com

What it is

Profound tracks how a brand appears inside AI answers across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot, reporting share of voice, sentiment, the citation sources models draw on, and the prompts that trigger you. It also analyses AI crawler and agent traffic hitting your own site.

Why it earns a slot

When research traffic never reaches your site, this shows whether the AI answer cited you or a competitor. Citation data reveals which third-party pages the models trust, so you know where to get mentioned.

Know before you commit

Starter covers ChatGPT alone with 50 prompts; multi-engine coverage means $399/mo billed yearly. Tracked prompts are the real meter and fill up fast for a broad publication.
