Third-party citations often carry the highest visibility for the categories that matter to your business, so getting mentioned in them is a key part of any AI Search strategy. But landing those placements has meant CSV exports and manual outreach in tools that don't connect to your partner program.
To solve this, Profound has partnered with PartnerStack, the partner ecosystem platform B2B teams use to activate content partnerships, with a Content Marketplace of 65,000+ publishers and creators.
With Profound Agents and the PartnerStack nodes, you can match the domains driving your AI visibility against PartnerStack's network and push the unmatched ones into PartnerStack, where the Content Marketplace handles outreach, contracting, and payment.
What the PartnerStack integration does
Check Network
The Check Network node ingests a list of domains from upstream nodes and matches them against the 65,000+ publishers and creators already in PartnerStack's network. For each match, you see who they are and what content channels they offer. Publishers already on PartnerStack have their rates and formats listed in the Content Marketplace, so this becomes your first cut for activation.
Recruit
The Recruit node takes citation data, typically passed in from the Citation Pages node, and pushes the publishers into your PartnerStack account, where they surface in the AI Cited Content tab. Each one arrives tagged with the prompt and AI platform that surfaced them, so you can frame outreach with the specific reason this publisher matters to your brand. From there, you can activate the deal type that fits the placement, whether flat-fee, affiliate, or hybrid.
How Profound customers can use this
Take action on a PartnerStack target list
Run an Agent on a weekly cadence over the prompts you care most about. It surfaces the highest-cited domains, runs them through Check Network, and sends the unmatched publishers to Recruit. You build your content partnership roster from the publishers already moving your AI visibility, which is the metric your placements need to influence.
Expand into a new category
If you already run a PartnerStack program in one product line and you're launching into a new one, point an Agent at the prompts buyers ask in that new category. The integration finds the publishers shaping AI answers there and sends them into your account. You scale into the category with publishers who have a proven editorial connection to it, instead of cold-list recruits with no track record on your brand.
Get started with PartnerStack and Profound
With this integration, your partner roster grows directly from the publishers shaping AI answers in your category, and PartnerStack's Content Marketplace handles the placement workflow from there.
The PartnerStack integration is available today for Enterprise customers of Profound and self-serve customers with trial Agent runs remaining. You will need a connected PartnerStack account. Reach out to your engagement team to learn more.
If you are not yet a Profound customer and want to see this in action, we encourage you to book a demo.
