What it does

Monitors AI answers
YesCore product: Profound queries answer engines on a stored prompt set and reports where the brand surfaces, on every plan.Profound runs structured prompts across AI platforms daily, analyzing where and how your brand appears in responses, tracking citations, sentiment,…tryprofound.com/pricing
Optimises your content
YesAgent templates analyse a page you already have and return ranked AEO changes; running them consumes the plan's monthly Agent credits.Analyze a given article to produce clear, high-impact Answer Engine Optimization suggestions by leveraging our Content Optimization algorithm and…tryprofound.com/agent-templates
Generates content
YesAgents draft articles, FAQs and translations on credits: a limited allowance on the Trial, a custom pool on Enterprise.The Trial plan comes with limited AI Marketer credits.tryprofound.com/pricing
Publishes to your site
YesAgents can push finished drafts into a connected CMS; WordPress, Contentful, Sanity, Drupal, Framer and Adobe Experience Manager each have connection docs.Once connected, the WordPress site will appear as an available integration and can be selected inside Agents.docs.tryprofound.com/integrations/wordp…
Technical AEO
PartlyCrawler-side work is limited to verified bot logging and pushing new URLs at AI crawlers; I found no schema markup, llms.txt or robots directive management for your own site.Submit new content directly to AI crawlers for faster discovery.tryprofound.com/features/agent-analytics
Done-for-you service
NoProfound sells the platform to agencies rather than doing the work; its in-house agency team is partner support, not campaign delivery.Profound empowers agencies to rapidly evolve the AEO strategy of their brand partners.tryprofound.com/solutions/agencies
