Profound
Tracks brand mentions across AI answers
What is Profound?
Profound is an answer-engine-optimization platform combining brand monitoring with content and PR agents. It tracks brand mentions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and other engines through daily-tracked prompts, analyzing a set number of unique prompts and the AI responses generated from them each month. The platform also includes Prompt Volumes for search-demand data, Agent Analytics that shows how AI crawlers such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity read and interpret a site, and automated "Agents" that generate AEO-optimized content like FAQ pages for landing pages.
Aimed at marketing, content, and PR teams at agencies and brands of varying size. Pricing starts at $99/month for ChatGPT-only tracking of 50 prompts, rises to $399/month for three engines and 100 prompts, and reaches custom Enterprise pricing for up to nine engines with SSO/SAML and SOC 2 compliance. The entry tier tracks only one AI engine, so multi-engine comparison needs the Growth plan or higher.
