Improved visibility on AI answer engines
We were looking for a way to track and improve our visibility on AI solutions. Profound has been a game-changer for our AEO and content strategy.
Increased AI brand visibility 7x
Profound helped us become a top fintech brand in AI search.
3x human visitors from AI; AI bot visits grew from 3,500 to 5,000 weekly
We're tracking three sites now and already need more. Every serious site we manage needs AI visibility tracking.
Made clients visible where competitors can't reach
Six months ago, GEO was an experiment. Now it's our competitive advantage. Clients come to us because we can make them visible where their competitors can't.
