The problem with basic AI visibility trackers like Profound

Insights without action
Profound dumps static data without helping you act. They show you AI visibility—but don’t help you improve it.
Data that doesn’t match reality
Scraping-based tools like Profound often deliver outdated or broken data. Without real-time inputs, your strategy is built on sand.
One-size-fits-none
When Profound can't understand your business, content strategy, or competitors, they give shallow suggestions—not insights that drive results.

Getting the data in Profound took a very long time, and once we did we had no idea how to act on it. It was up to us to try and figure out a strategy which became a pretty burdensome step that slowed us down – the opposite of where we need to be headed right now.
