Product Overview
What is Profound?
Profound is a full-stack marketing platform built for the era of zero-click search, where consumers get answers directly from AI chatbots instead of clicking through to websites. It tracks how brands are mentioned, cited, and represented across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, Meta AI, DeepSeek, and Google AI Overviews, then turns those insights into action through autonomous marketing agents. Rather than treating AI visibility as a black box, Profound captures real browser-level responses (not just API outputs) to show exactly what customers see when they query AI about a brand or category, and pairs that data with tools to correct misinformation, close content gaps, and orchestrate SEO and PR workflows at scale.
