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.
