What's new in Profound

Track Muse Spark, admin allowlist for integrations, and more in Profound

See what the model behind Muse knows about your brand

Muse Spark 1.3 is now available in Answer Engine Insights. It is one of the models that power Meta’s Muse personal agent. Your results reflect how the model itself understands your brand. Strong visibility indicates that your content reaches the model behind Muse, but it does not guarantee what Muse recommends to an individual shopper.

  • See how the model describes you: Compare how Muse Spark talks about your brand, products, and competitors with ChatGPT, Gemini, and the other Answer Engines you track.

  • Add audience context with Personas: Muse draws on each shopper's memory, and Muse Spark has none by itself. Run Muse Spark prompts with Personas to see how its answers change for your priority audiences.

  • Catch inaccurate claims: Spot what the model gets wrong about your brand before it carries into products built on it.

You can add Muse Spark to the engines you already track. To get started, talk to your Profound account team. Learn more about Muse Spark and how it differs from Muse.

Approve an integration once, and your team can connect it

Admins can now choose which integrations their organization can use, and each teammate can connect the approved ones with their own account. When someone needs an integration that’s turned off, they can request it, and admins can approve it from their Profound inbox.

  • Choose what’s available: On the Integrations page, admins can select ‘Manage integrations’ to turn each integration on or off for the whole organization. Enabled integrations are listed at the top of the page, with recommended integrations and their use cases below.

  • Let teammates connect their own accounts: Once an integration is on, teammates can connect it themselves. For integrations that use one shared organization account, an admin connects it once for everyone.

  • Request an integration when you need it: If an integration is turned off, select ‘Request access’. Admins get the request in their Profound inbox, by email, and in Slack, and everyone who asked is notified when it's turned on.

To get started, open the Integrations page in Settings.

Turn AI Search insights into paid campaigns with Profound Ads

Your AI Marketer can now run paid ads too, with the Profound Ads beta. It uses your AI visibility, buyer intent, and competitor ad data to find opportunities across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and ChatGPT, writes the ads, and tracks results through to revenue.

We’re opening the beta to a limited number of existing customers. Register your interest.

Other updates

  • Bring Jira context into your marketing work: Your AI Marketer and Agents can now look up Jira tickets and projects as they work, so plans and drafts reflect your team’s current priorities. Draft a launch brief from the tickets behind a release, or check project status, without leaving Profound. To get started, open the Integrations page in Settings.

  • Let clients explore shared dashboards on their own: When you share a Custom Dashboard as a public link, you can now allow viewers to change the date range, so clients and stakeholders without a Profound login can review any period themselves. The saved dashboard stays as you set it.

Store API keys securely with Secret Manager, understand why bot traffic changes, and more in Profound

Store API keys once and let your team use them without seeing them

You often need an API key or password to reach tools like your CMS or an internal service. Secret Manager now keeps each key in one secure place in Profound. You save Secrets once and access them whenever you need them. Teammates can use an organization's Secret without seeing it, and when a key changes, you only have to update it in one place.

  • Give your AI Marketer credentials securely: When a task needs a credential, your AI Marketer asks for it in a secure form. Save it to reuse later, or provide it for that chat only. Before using a saved Secret, your AI Marketer names it and asks for your permission.

  • Connect Agents and Workflows to your tools: Choose a saved Secret wherever an Agent or Workflow needs an API key. The key never appears in the Agent or Workflow, so anyone who opens it can't read it.

  • Choose who can use each Secret: Select Organization to let every member use a Secret, or Personal to keep it to yourself. Only the person who saved a Secret can view, edit, or delete it.

Secret Manager is available on all plans. Add your first Secret by opening Settings from the organization name menu and selecting Secret Manager. Learn more about Secret Manager.

Understand why bot traffic changed and note what caused it

A change in bot visits is easier to act on when you know what drove it. You can now ask your AI Marketer to investigate your Agent Analytics data, and you can add an annotation to record what caused the change.

  • Investigate a spike or dip: Click a day on a bot visits chart, or drag across a date range, and select Investigate. Your AI Marketer analyzes what happened in that period.

  • Record what changed on your site: Add a chart annotation to mark activities like a site launch, a robots.txt or CDN change, or a content push. Annotations appear on your Agent Analytics charts and on the AI Bot Activity charts in Pages, so the cause sits next to the movement.

  • Keep control of who edits: Everyone can see annotations, while only those with the "manage Agent Analytics" permission can add, edit, or delete them.

Build a dashboard by describing the report you want

Your AI Marketer can now build fully configurable, shareable views of your Profound data. Head to the “Dashboards” tab, click “Create new,” and tell your AI Marketer what you want to visualize. Select “Build it yourself” if you prefer to set up a dashboard manually.

Ask your AI Marketer why a table or heatmap metric moved

Hover over any metric in an Answer Engine Insights table or heatmap, such as a platform's visibility on a topic in the Visibility Ranking heatmap, and select Investigate when it appears. Your AI Marketer opens to explore what is driving changes in that metric and recommends your next action.

Fill context gaps faster, set up Profound Teams, and more in Profound

Fill gaps in context faster by seeing what shapes it

Your AI Marketer draws on your Brand and Personal Context to respond like someone on your team. The new Overview tab in Context Manager visualizes your context, making it easy to identify and fill gaps.

  • Close gaps: Turn on Highlight for Gaps, check the record, and select 'Fix gap'. Your AI Marketer asks one question at a time and applies each answer right away.

  • Add missing context: Turn on Highlight for Missing Context, check the record, and select 'Add Context'. Your AI Marketer helps you add the relevant context file.

  • Explore your source files: Browse the files your context draws from without leaving the Overview.

Context Manager is available on Enterprise and Agency plans. Learn more about Context Manager.

Give every brand, region, and business unit its own space with Profound Teams

Admins can now create Teams inside your organization. Each Team can have its own categories, shared resources, and credit wallet, while reporting still rolls up in one place.

  • Manage access by group: Add categories to a Team and access follows membership.

  • Control access to shared work: Share Dashboards, Documents, Sheets, Agents, and Workflows with a Team at the access level you choose, such as viewer or editor.

  • Reserve credits for each Team: Other Teams cannot spend the credits in a Team wallet. To set up Team wallets, contact your Profound account team.

Profound Teams is available on Enterprise. Admins can create Teams from the Teams tab on the People page in Settings. Learn more about Profound Teams.

Bring shopper reviews and questions into your Workflows

You can now connect your Bazaarvoice Conversations account to Profound to enable four new nodes that can import product feedback into Profound:

  • Find Products: Products in your Bazaarvoice account

  • Get Reviews: Shopper reviews

  • Get Product Ratings and Statistics: Ratings and statistics for your products.

  • Get Questions and Answers: Questions customers ask about a product and the answers

Use your AI Marketer to compare shopper feedback with what your product page and FAQ cover. Unanswered questions and rating distributions can help show which products deserve a closer look. To connect, open the Integrations page in Settings and select Bazaarvoice Conversations.

Other updates

  • Send Project tasks to Adobe Workfront: Use a Project's Export menu to send its suggested tasks and chats. To connect, open the Integrations page in Settings and select Adobe Workfront.

Meet the new Agents, work with your AI Marketer in Microsoft Teams, and more in Profound

Build and run Agents in plain language

You can now tell AI Marketer the job you want done, and it will build the Agent for you. It will populate an instruction panel where you can confirm the rules, tools, and schedule. Each run draws on your Profound data and your brand context from Context Manager. With the new Agents, you can:

  • Have your AI Marketer build Agents for you: Describe what you want automated. Your AI Marketer asks follow-up questions and writes the instructions.

  • Build, run, and refine in one place: Edit an Agent and run it from the same page. Saved changes apply to the next run, and each run happens in the Agent's own chat, so you can review the output, request changes, and run it again.

  • Set triggers to keep Agents always on: Turn on a trigger in the Agent's settings, and it runs automatically. Run it on a schedule, when a competitor publishes a new blog post, when your visibility changes by 5%, when someone posts in a Slack channel, or whenever else your work calls for it.

  • Choose the tools each Agent can use: Give an Agent access to tools like Slack, your Knowledge Base, or your Profound data, and set what it can do with each. If a tool isn't connected, your AI Marketer flags the gap and helps you connect it.

What happens to the Agents you already built: Your existing node-based Agents are now called Workflows. They keep running as they do today, and you'll find them on the Agents page filtered by Workflow type. To move one to the new experience, open it and click Migrate. Your AI Marketer converts it into an Agent and leaves the original unchanged. For steps that need to run the same way every time, add a Workflow as a tool inside a new Agent.

The new Agents are rolling out to all Enterprise and self-serve customers. Watch a walkthrough to learn more or jump in to the new experience and ask your AI Marketer to build an Agent for you.

Work with your AI Marketer in Microsoft Teams

A lot of marketing work happens in Microsoft Teams. Profound now connects to it in both directions.

Chat with your AI Marketer in Teams: Once an admin installs the Profound app for your organization, anyone with a Profound account can chat with your AI Marketer one-on-one or @mention it in channels and threads to get answers. To get started, an admin can install the app from the Microsoft Marketplace.

Bring Teams conversations into Profound: Connect your Teams account so your AI Marketer and Agents can read channels and conversations and send messages for you. Ask your AI Marketer to summarize a discussion, or build an Agent that gathers updates from specific channels and posts its findings back to Teams. You can set up this integration on the Integrations page in Settings.

Import Confluence pages into your Knowledge Base

Brand guidelines, messaging docs, launch plans, and campaign retros often live in Confluence. You can now sign in with your Atlassian account, choose your spaces and pages, and import them into a Knowledge Base. Context Manager uses those pages to build the Brand Context your AI Marketer works from, so its outputs reflect how your team already describes your brand and plans its campaigns. Turn on auto-sync, and Profound refreshes those pages so your Brand Context stays up to date as your team updates Confluence.

To get started, open a Knowledge Base, click 'Add files', and choose Confluence. Learn more about Knowledge Bases.

Give your AI Marketer context from the tools you work in

Your priorities and active projects live across task trackers, documents, and meeting notes. You can now connect Asana, Jira, monday.com, Google Drive, SharePoint, Notion, and Granola to your Personal Context and choose the workspaces, boards, files, and notes to include. Profound syncs them daily, so your AI Marketer understands your role and current work and can recommend next steps tied to your goals.

To get started, open Context Manager, go to Personal Context, click 'Add context', and choose 'Connect to workspaces'.

Other updates

  • Finish setting up your context with a checklist: Context Manager now shows a checklist of the personal and brand context to add, and each item takes you straight to the page where you add it.

  • Sign in to each of your company's Profound organizations from Okta: If your company uses separate Profound organizations, IT admins can now copy a direct sign-in link for each one from the Enterprise Setup page. Add it as a tile in Okta or another identity provider, and your team lands in the right organization with one click.

SEO data is now in Profound, analyze dashboards with your AI Marketer, and more

Have your AI Marketer analyze SEO data for every page

Through our partnership with Moz, your AI Marketer can now explore SEO data for every page. Ask "Which pages are driving my AI visibility?" and it can add how each page ranks in Google, how strong it is, and which sites link to your competitors instead of you.

Every page in Pages also has a new Search Visibility tab. You can now:

  • See which keywords each page ranks for: Each keyword comes with its position, monthly search volume, difficulty, and searcher intent.

  • Understand why people land on a page: Search Intent splits the searches that bring visitors to a page into informational, navigational, commercial, and transactional.

  • Spot link opportunities: Citation Opportunities lists sites that link to a competitor's page on the same topic but not to yours.

  • Compare page and site strength: Page Authority and Linking Root Domains are new sortable columns in the Pages table, and Domain and Brand Authority show how strong your whole site and brand are.

  • Start from flagged opportunities: Insights call out things like "8 keywords within reach of page 1," each with one-click investigation from your AI Marketer.

Ask your AI Marketer how to navigate Profound

Your AI Marketer can now answer navigation questions, like where to check your credit usage or how to manage your tracked competitors, and point you to the right page and setting. It follows your organization's access controls, so it only directs people to pages they have permission to open. To try it, ask your AI Marketer where to check your credit usage.

Investigate any date range on your charts with your AI Marketer

Drag across points on an Answer Engine Insights line chart to select a date range, then send it to your AI Marketer to investigate. Clicking a single point still pins one date.

Add context to your charts

Chart Annotations lets you add markers to your Answer Engine Insights charts for events like a campaign launch or a content refresh, so you can see what happened around the time a metric moved. Profound also adds Answer Engine model changes automatically. Place annotations across your organization or scope them to one category. Everyone in your organization can view them, and editors and above can create, edit, and delete them by default.

Multi-category organizations can now better organize their knowledge

If you manage more than one category, you can now assign each Knowledge Base to the categories it applies to. Once you map them, a category's Brand Context draws only from its own Knowledge Bases, so one category's context stops appearing in another's, and only users with access to that category can view or edit them.

A new toggle on each Knowledge Base turns off its Brand Context contribution, so it stores files without shaping context. Synced data sources in Context Manager, like Gong and Slack, can be scoped to categories too, and bulk edit lets you map many Knowledge Bases at once.

Existing Knowledge Bases still apply to every category by default. To limit a category's Brand Context to specific Knowledge Bases, select that category under 'Limit to select categories' on those Knowledge Bases and remove it from the others. Learn more about Knowledge Bases.

Other updates

  • Password-protect shared Document links: Add a password when you share a link to a Profound Document, then add, change, or remove it later from the Share dialog. Visitors are prompted for the password before they can view the document.

  • Export raw data from Custom Dashboards: Use Export at the top right of any Custom Dashboard and choose Export as Zip to download each chart's raw data as a separate CSV file.

Log in to Profound to explore these product updates and please share your feedback on how we can improve.

Meet the new Projects, integrate more context, and more in Profound

Keep all your marketing initiatives in one place with the new Projects

Product launches, industry campaigns, and sentiment fixes take more than a single conversation. Each Project is a workspace for the context, conversations, and outputs behind that work, and your AI Marketer suggests what to do next.

  • Go from insight to action faster: The redesigned homepage allows you to move faster on the opportunities your AI Marketer finds. Click 'Start a Project' to begin from a template, or ask your AI Marketer to start one for you. It proposes a plan for you to review before it acts on anything.

  • Get suggestions backed by your data: Your AI Marketer reviews your data across Answer Engine Insights, Prompt Volumes, and Agent Analytics to recommend new Projects and next tasks for your existing ones. Each suggestion shows the data and sources behind it.

  • Set context once: Add instructions, files, and Knowledge Base documents to a Project, and every conversation inside it has access to them.

  • Start suggested tasks in one click: Click 'Start task', and your AI Marketer opens a conversation and gets to work. Documents, Sheets, and images from every conversation are collected in the Project's Artifacts section.

  • Bring your team in: Projects are private by default. Invite teammates or share with your organization, so everyone works from the same context and conversations.

Projects and the new homepage are live for all Enterprise customers. Watch a walkthrough to learn more about Projects.

New context sources for your AI Marketer

Granola: The decisions and customer insights that shape your marketing often come out of meetings. You can now import meeting summaries and full transcripts from Granola into a Knowledge Base in Profound, giving your AI Marketer more context to work from. Import individual notes or whole folders as a one-time import or an ongoing sync.

Microsoft SharePoint: For many enterprise teams, brand guidelines, campaign briefs, and product decks live in SharePoint. You can now sign in, choose your SharePoint sites, and import those documents into a Knowledge Base, so your AI Marketer and Agents work from the same source material as your team.

To get started, open a Knowledge Base and click 'Add files'. Learn more about Knowledge Bases.

Find Getty Images photos for your content with your AI Marketer

Your AI Marketer can now search Getty Images and find photos for the content it helps create for you. For example, when a Project task calls for a new blog post, your AI Marketer can draft the article and find Getty photos to go with it in the same flow as its research and copywriting.

To get started, sign in with your Getty Images account in Settings under Integrations. Once integrated, choose the Getty connector when working with your AI Marketer.

New integrations for Profound Agents

Update product content in Salsify: Answer Engines describe your products using the details you publish. With Salsify, an Agent can update your existing product content and create new products. Learn more about using Salsify in Agents.

Find new publisher partners with Partnerize: Export your Citation Pages from Agents into Partnerize to see which cited publishers your program already covers, connect partners to the pages where they're cited, and recruit the ones you're missing.

Other updates

  • Bring Prompt Volumes into your other AI workspaces: The Profound MCP connects Profound to the AI tools your team already uses, and two new tools now make Prompt Volumes and intent insights available there. Learn more about the Profound MCP.

  • Choose Tags when you run an Agent: Tags are now an input type in Agents, Sheets, and Projects. Pick Tags from a dropdown instead of pasting tag IDs, and run the same Agent on a different group of prompts each time.

  • See Agency Mode changes in your activity logs: Activity logs now record when workspaces are created, promoted, extended, or moved, and when client workspaces are reactivated.

  • Filter Answer Engine Insights by language: Narrow your prompts by language to see how you show up in each one you track.

Serve content specifically to agents, generate images with your AI Marketer, and more in Profound

Serve a different experience to AI and human visitors

Dynamic Bot Rendering detects when Answer Engines agents visit your site and automatically serves a fully rendered version of the page, without needing to make any change to your CMS. Content that is client-side rendered, loaded via JavaScript, or gated behind a click is invisible to most AI bots today, so it cannot make its way into the answers they serve consumers. With Dynamic Bot Rendering, Profound serves content directly to AI without touching your website, allowing you to market to two audiences at once.

Rendering policies can be set for specific pages, page patterns, or entire domains, and can vary by bot. These policies are configurable from Pages Settings, from a single page's analytics tab, or in bulk from the Pages table. It's currently available for every customer on CloudFront, Cloudflare, or Vercel. You can learn more about setup here.

See your Google Search Console and AI performance in one view

Google Search Console data is now built into Pages, so clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position sit right next to your AI citation data for every page. Watch for when impressions are holding steady while clicks drop, as that's the moment AI answers start taking over the click.

See the AEO Keywords each page is winning

Go beyond knowing when pages are getting cited in AI Search and start understanding which keywords they are getting cited for. Click into any page in Pages and you'll find a new AEO Keywords section, showing which keywords the page is cited for, plus prompt volume, page share, rank, and difficulty.

Generate images with your AI Marketer

Build assets for a campaign or explore a content idea inside Profound. Your AI Marketer can now turn a prompt with any reference images into new visuals with controls for size, quality, and style.

Upload images to your Knowledge Base

You can now upload images to Knowledge Base. Your AI Marketer will reference and reason over these images when answering questions or generating content.

Ground your work in Microsoft 365 context

Your AI Marketer now connects to your Microsoft 365 work context through Work IQ, pulling in your projects, priorities, collaborators, and recent changes to power more personalized chats and Projects. As your AI Marketer picks up details they get saved as personal memories in Context Manager. The sources for any facts in Context Manager are cited, and you can control whether context from Work IQ refreshes manually or on a set schedule.

Set credit limits by teammate
Organization admins can now allocate credit budgets per user, with an org-wide default and overrides for power users. The Usage page within Settings now also breaks down consumption by user so you get visibility into exactly where credits are going.

Other updates

  • Rename your Category from the Assets page.

  • Activity logs now track changes made to prompts within Answer Engine Insights including additions, deletions, disabled prompts, and edited prompts.

Bring your personal context from ChatGPT and Claude into Profound in one import


Personal Context now has an import button that opens ChatGPT or Claude with a ready-made prompt to pull in context you have cultivated from past conversations. Your AI Marketer uses this information to understand how you work and tunes every output to be something you would have written yourself.

Access new capabilities for your AI Marketer in Slack

The Profound Slack bot now authenticates automatically and lets each user set their own org (/profound-org) and category (/profound-category). It can also read uploaded files and you can take actions like reviewing your prompt list and uploading to your Knowledge Base without ever leaving the conversation.

Set up your own Analytics configuration in a few clicks
You can now configure your own categories, assets, prompt allocations, regions, and languages, right from the “Settings” tab under “Organization.” Note: this feature is currently only available to non-agency enterprise organizations.

To set it up, open Context Manager from the sidebar and the onboarding flow walks you through it all. Best results come from adding your source-of-truth documents in Knowledge Base and connecting your conversations with the Profound team from Slack, Email, and Gong.

You can also add your own preferences on the Personal Context tab so future chats reflect how you like to work. Learn more here.

Profound Aim updates, Domain Segments, and SCIM provisioning

Have Aim build and run Agents for you

  • Choose a target folder when creating a Doc from a workflow

  • Link directly to a heading inside a Doc

Content Citation Decay, YouTube citation breakdowns, and more

Know when to refresh a page with Citation Decay

Citation Decay tracks the full lifecycle of every cited URL: first cited date, rise time to peak, peak volume, and half-life, the point where weekly citations drop to half their peak and stay there. Sort your owned pages by half-life and you get a queue of ranked content losing ground. Filter by domain or model to see whether a page is decaying everywhere or just inside one Engine. Compare half-life across page types to find out which formats hold their citations longest. Once you've spotted a page losing citations, hand it to a Profound Agent to draft the update and stage it in your CMS.

Citation Decay is available today for Profound customers, under the Citation view within Answer Engine Insights. If you’d like access, please reach out to your Profound team. Learn more here.

See which YouTube creators Answer Engines are citing

YouTube is the most cited domain in our dataset, and citations used to show up as raw URL. Now you can dig into citation data by channel, video, and video category, so you know exactly which creators are getting cited and can sponsor, pitch, or correct them directly.

Other updates:

  • Have Aim edit your Sheets: Sheets chat is live, so you can ask Aim to read, edit, and analyze any open sheet in plain language.

  • External sharing of Profound Docs: Just open the Share dialog and send an invite to any email address. Once invited, recipients can jump into the document and collaborate live with view, comment, or edit access and the full set of Docs features

  • Lock or auto-update your Agents in Sheets: Pin a sheet to a specific agent version or subscribe to the latest, with a clear before-and-after diff shown any time you switch.

  • Undo and redo everything in Sheets: Every cell, column, and row action can now be undone and redone, even while your team is editing together in real time.

January updates summarized

The team behind Agents has shipped a slew of updates over the last month that unlock brand new capabilities for marketers.

Profound data nodes

We’ve introduced new Profound Data nodes inside Agents, making it incredibly easy to pull Profound’s best-in-class AEO data directly into content creation, optimization, reporting, and monitoring workflows. Instead of exporting reports, stitching together spreadsheets, or manually translating insights into actions, marketers can now turn AI visibility data into automated, repeatable execution.

CMS Integration nodes

Profound Agents now connect natively to WordPress and Sanity, turning your CMS into an active endpoint for automation. Learn more on CMS integrations via our blog.

Slack node

With the Slack integration node, Profound Agents can now:

  • Send alerts when visibility or citation share changes

  • Notify teams when content is published or updated

  • Route drafts and outputs for review and approval

  • Keep stakeholders informed without manual status updates

Conditional node

The Conditional node unlocks even greater customization of Profound Agents, allowing users to branch an Agent’s outcomes depending on the value of certain criteria.

Other updates

Version control

  • Users can see and restore previous published versions.

  • Users can see/navigate between nodes (and their settings) on each previous version.

Auto descriptions

  • Remove the manual step of writing a descriptions for your Agent. Let AI do the work, finding a description that fits all the nodes in your Agent.

Single node testing

  • You can now run individual nodes to test them in isolation. No need to execute the entire Agent to see results. Simply run a single node and iterate.

New LLM model configuration

  • Configure content variation to be more predictive or more creative, enable web search, and include system prompts.

Structured outputs in Prompt LLM node

  • Define a schema and receive consistent response formats, enabling reliable parsing for Agent automation.

Streaming outputs

  • When testing LLM nodes you can now see the output streaming in real-time, allowing for faster review of direction.

Full-view outputs

  • You can now expand outputs to full screen for greater clarity when reviewing.

New pre-built Agents

Introducing Brand Relevant Prompts and New Workflows Templates

New year, same ship speed from the product team at Profound. Today we’re highlighting two new features now available for all users within Enterprise accounts.

Brand Relevant Prompts

One of the most important questions in Answer Engine Optimization is simple but hard to address: which prompts actually matter to your brand?

Now, Enterprise users of Profound can answer that question using Brand Relevant Prompts, the newest feature inside the Prompt Volumes tab.

How it works

Brand Relevant Prompts surfaces the conversations where Answer Engines like ChatGPT chose to cite your brand's or your competitors' websites. For every prompt, see exactly which pages were cited alongside your owned content. Understand who you're competing against in each conversation and identify the pages that consistently appear in your category.

That means you can finally answer:

  • Which prompts are driving citations to your pages right now?

  • Which competitors appear alongside you in the same responses?

  • Where are competitors getting cited that you're not?

Brand Relevant Prompts are available today in Prompt Volumes for all users on Enterprise accounts. Self-serve account users are encouraged to reach out to our team for a demo.

New Workflows Templates

Profound Workflows launched in public beta last month and provides a new automation layer for marketing teams that streamlines content operations built for the AI Search era.

As of this past Monday, Enterprise customers of Profound now have six new Workflows templates to further augment and automate best-in-class AEO strategies.

Article Translator

Automatically translates an article into a specified target language while preserving meaning, tone, and formatting. It enables fast, consistent localization for global audiences with minimal manual effort.

YouTube Metadata Optimizer

Analyze any YouTube video and automatically generate AEO-optimized titles and descriptions designed to increase visibility and improve citation likelihood across AI search engines.

PDP FAQ Generator

Generate an AEO-optimized FAQ section for a Product Detail Page by identifying key product questions, inferred search intent, and relevant People Also Ask queries, then combining them with on-page product information to create clear, high-value FAQs designed for AI-driven search visibility.

Content Optimization Suggestions

Analyze a given article to produce clear, high-impact Answer Engine Optimization suggestions by leveraging our Content Optimization algorithm and relevant AEO insights.

Content Brief Creation

Create a structured content brief from a target topic and user prompt. This workflow analyzes Google results, top-cited LLM sources, and existing brand content to produce a well-researched, writer-ready brief.

AEO + SEO Research Report

Generate an AEO + SEO Research Report that shows which keywords matter, what’s ranking on Google, and how AI systems answer the same query. The output gives you a fast, data-backed view of opportunities and gaps to act on immediately.

Bonus Workflows feature ship: Test individual nodes

You can now run individual nodes to test them in isolation. No need to execute the entire workflow just to see results, simply run a single node and iterate.

Get started

The new Workflows templates mentioned above and the ability to test individual nodes are available today in Profound for all users on Enterprise accounts. Customers can reach out to our team or contact their Engagement Manager for a demo.

New query fanouts tab in Profound

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini a question, the model rarely “knows” the answer. Before these Answer Engines respond, they fan out the user’s prompt into multiple high-intent search queries, retrieve information from the web, and then synthesize everything into a final answer.

For example, if a user asks:

“Which business bank account is best for startups?”

The model might break this into queries like:

  • “best business checking accounts for startups 2025”

  • “online business banking comparison fees”

  • “startup bank account requirements”

This hidden step, the Query Fanout, determines which brands get pulled into AI answers, and which get left out.

Today, we’re making that process fully transparent.

You can now explore all query fanouts for the prompts you track in Profound through the new Query Fanouts page, designed to help AEO teams understand how Answer Engines interpret prompts and uncover the exact queries they use to research your category.

Read more on how to use the tab and interpret the data here.

Why this matters

In 2025, creating content without considering query fanouts is like doing SEO without knowing your keywords.

Answer Engines don’t simply evaluate a user’s question – they transform it into a set of richer, more targeted search queries. That’s what they actually use to decide which sources to cite.

If your content doesn’t rank for what the model searches, you won’t appear in what the user sees. We’ve written previously about how this works in practice in our breakdown of ChatGPT’s query fanout behavior.

At Profound, we analyze this behavior at scale, running millions of prompts through Answer Engines every day and capturing both the answers and the underlying fanouts. This gives AEO teams a first-of-its-kind window into:

  • How AI interprets user intent

  • What queries drive citations

  • Which modifiers matter most

  • Where content gaps and opportunities exist

With Query Fanouts, you can stop guessing how Answer Engines reason about your prompts and start optimizing for how they actually search. Get started by visiting Answer Engine Insights in your Profound dashboard.

Profound adds query fanouts and enhanced citation analysis

Answer Engine Insights

  • Query fanout visibility: We are now capturing and visualizing the search query fanout for specific ChatGPT, Meta AI, and Claude queries.

    This allows you to understand the true queries that are generated when a web search occurs. This is helpful for having a more deliberate content strategy for your top prompts. Learn more about query fanouts in our blog post.

  • On-demand citation analysis: You can now trigger on-demand citation analysis for any page to confirm if your content or asset is mentioned - useful for verifying new placements or recently updated articles.

  • Citation page performance improvements: We refactored the citations page and improved latency and overall performance.


Prompt Volumes

  • Create multiple watchlists: Create and manage separate watchlists by product, campaign, or region. Teams can also view others’ watchlists within the org to stay aligned on shared monitoring efforts.


Workflows

  • Content creation improvements: Easily toggle between briefs and final drafts, while upgraded generation quality reduces hallucinations, strengthens internal linking, and enhances the deep research workflow.

Track all bot traffic with Profound and Akamai

AI bots (indexing, training, citation etc) are the new power users of the internet. Millions of bots are deployed every day and they scan all aspects of your website. Many organizations are blind to AI bot traffic due to gaps in traditional analytics. With this Akamai integration, Profound fills that gap at the network level, making it easier to understand and manage bot engagement. In addition to Akamai, CDN integrations are available for Vercel, Cloudflare, Fastly, and Netlify.

My Website - Dark Theme

Why use Agent Analytics with Akamai?

  • Server-side visibility: Instead of relying on JavaScript or cookie-based analytics (which often miss automated traffic), Profound processes server-side request logs directly at the CDN layer. This ensures full coverage of AI requests, regardless of client-side settings.

  • Enterprise scalability: Built for large, high-traffic sites using Akamai’s infrastructure. The integration extends Profound’s mission to provide secure, stack-agnostic, and non-intrusive analytics that fit into existing enterprise systems.

  • More accurate agent insights: Capture previously hidden interactions from AI models and crawlers, giving teams a clearer picture of how automated systems are engaging with your webpages and content.

How to get started with Agent Analytics on Akamai

Setting up Agent Analytics in Profound only takes a few minutes. Check out these docs to get started or pass them along to your development team.

Layer on audience segmentation with Personas!

We’ve introduced Personas to Profound, giving you a new way to see how Answer Engines respond based on the audience segments you care about.

What’s new:

  • Create and customize Personas with demographics, industries, seniority, job roles, motivators, and pain points

  • Track visibility scores (and more) by Persona for deeper, more actionable insights

  • Layer your existing Personas onto Profound data

  • Slice and visualize results by Persona for more granular analysis

  • Attach specific prompts and topics to Personas for precise tracking

Why it matters:

Marketers think in segments, not just platforms and regions. Personas bring powerful segmentation into Answer Engine Optimization, helping you understand how visibility shifts across the different audience types you care about.

Availability: Personas is available in beta for enterprise customers.

Keyword hierarchies are now available in Prompt Volumes

Why we built keyword hierarchies

Traditional SEO taught us to think in terms of individual keywords: track "running shoes," and optimize for it. But AI conversations don't work that way and keywords must be tracked differently. When someone asks about "running shoes," they don't stop there. There is an inherent need to dig deeper. The conversation evolves and each layer reveals deeper intent:

"running shoes" → "running shoes for women" → "running shoes for women with arch support" → "best running shoes for women with high arches under $150"

Keyword hierarchies let’s you drill into the long tail keywords that will allow you to create highly targeted content experiences for your customers. Get started by visiting the Prompt Volumes feature and clicking the keyword hierarchy tab in your Profound dashboard or contact our sales team for a demo.

Boost the AEO of your existing content with Content Optimization

Since launching AEO Content Creation, teams have used our templates to create and publish content that consistently earns AI citations.

But most brands don’t just need more content; they need a way to improve the extensive content libraries they’ve already built.

That’s why we’re introducing Content Optimization, a new feature that transforms your existing content into answer engine-ready assets.

Thoughtfully structured for answer engines, in seconds

Answer engines don’t evaluate pages the same way traditional search engines do. Instead of looking at keywords alone, they rely heavily on trusted sources with clearly structured content that they can cite directly. If your content doesn’t match these patterns, it’s less likely to appear in the answers people actually see.

That’s where AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) comes in, and why we built this feature.

How Content Optimization works in Profound

With Content Optimization, you can:

  1. Paste a link to any piece of content you’ve already published.

  2. Profound analyzes it against:

    • AEO best practices and techniques (the same ones we use for creation)

    • Top-cited pages currently referenced by answer engines in your category

  3. You’ll receive detailed optimization suggestions that show:

    • Where your content falls short

    • Specific edits and improvements you can make

    • How your page stacks up against the competition

A screenshot of Content Optimization in the Profound platform.

We analyze your existing pages against the structural patterns and content elements that answer engines actually cite, then show you exactly what to change.

Think of it as a gap analysis between where your content is today and where it needs to be to consistently appear in AI responses.

From creation to optimization, Profound ensures your content is ready for answer engines

With Creation, Profound helps you generate new, AEO-optimized content.

With Optimization, you can now align your entire library with answer engine standards.

Together, these features give brands the end-to-end workflow for success in AI-driven discovery.

Content Optimization is live on the Actions page of your Profound dashboard right now. Paste in a URL, get your recommendations in a few minutes, and start seeing AI citations within weeks. Try it on your top-performing blog post-you might be surprised with the results.

Bulk Keyword Analysis and Keyword Research are now live in Conversation Explorer


Why did we build this?

Since launching the Conversation Explorer, our proprietary model that provides insights from 100’s of millions of real user prompts to LLMs, we've been doubling down on helping brands unlock actionable insights from how people interact with AI platforms like ChatGPT. Along the way, we noticed a gap: traditional SEO keyword tools don't capture the real language users type into AI systems every day.

Hence, we're thrilled to announce the general availability of two powerful additions: our Bulk Keyword Analysis and Keyword Research tools - built from real user prompts across the globe.

How does it work?

Inside Conversation Explorer, you can now analyze up to 100 keywords at once, across our over 250M+ list of tracked keywords. The Bulk Analysis tool lets you track and compare search volumes for a range of keywords over the past few months. All results can be exported as a CSV for deeper offline analysis.

The Keyword Research tool works similarly. Just enter a set of keywords, and our system uses advanced matching algorithms to surface hundreds of related terms based on real user prompts. For each keyword, you'll see volume data and trends, and you can export the entire dataset as a CSV.
