seo-profound
Profound is purpose-built for LLM brand-mention tracking. While
SE Ranking samples prompts on demand, Profound continuously polls and
publishes time-series so trend deltas (week-over-week, month-over-month)
are first-class.
Prerequisites
- Run
extensions/profound/install.sh or install.ps1.
- Profound API key.
- Before any tool call, check
~/.claude/settings.json has env.PROFOUND_API_KEY.
Routing
| Command | Purpose |
|---|
/seo profound citations <brand> | Current citation rate per LLM + 30-day trend |
/seo profound prompts <brand> | Top prompts that surface (or fail to surface) the brand |
/seo profound competitors <brand> | Brands cited alongside brand for the same prompts |
/seo profound alerts <brand> | Spike/drop alerts vs. 7-day baseline |
Output conventions
- Cite Profound on every metric: "Profound (live, confidence 0.90)".
- Profound covers ChatGPT + Perplexity natively; for Gemini / AI
Overviews / AI Mode coverage, defer to
seo-seranking.
- For Google AI Overviews citation rate, also cross-reference
seo-dataforseo AI visibility tools when available.
Cross-skill delegation
- For end-to-end AI search audit (passage citability + brand mentions + platform-specific tuning), hand back to
seo-geo.
- For prompt-set design + AI Cleanup pattern detection in cited content, fall back to
seo-content.
