Build Your Prompt Set
Profound gives you multiple paths to build a list of prompts that reflects how real people ask AI about your brand and category.
Prompt Creation
Add prompts manually, upload a full set via CSV, or generate them with Profound's prompt builder. Use broad coverage prompts to map your full category landscape, and strategic depth prompts to zero in on the queries that are relevant for your brand.
Prompt Volume Validation
Use Profound's Prompt Volumes to validate your tracking list against 1.3B+ AI conversations. See intent breakdowns, volume trends, and anonymized examples of how real users phrase questions in your category.
Segments, Tags & Personas
Apply topics and tags to group prompts by intent, funnel stage, or campaign. Add personas to simulate how different audience segments experience your brand across AI answers.
Platform & Location Filters
Assign prompts to specific countries, cities, or languages to surface the regional differences in how your brand appears. Track performance separately across AI platforms so you don't mix signals from markets that behave differently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tracked prompt in Profound?
A tracked prompt is any query Profound sends to an AI answer engine on your behalf, capturing that engine's full response, citation sources, and visibility data. You define the prompts and Profound runs them daily to build a consistent, comparable dataset over time. You can organize prompts into topics, assign them to platforms and regions, and tag them by campaign or audience segment.
Can I upload my own prompts or must I use auto-generated prompts?
You have full flexibility. Profound gives you three ways to build your prompt set: upload your own list, use auto-generated prompts built from real AI search data, or craft custom queries using the prompt builder. Most teams use a combination-auto-generated prompts for broad category coverage, and custom prompts for strategic topics, brand-specific queries, or competitor comparisons. There's no one-size-fits-all approach, and Profound supports all three.
How often does Profound run prompt tracking?
Prompts run daily by default across all selected AI platforms and regions. This means you get fresh data every 24 hours that captures the answers your audience is seeing in real time. This daily cadence lets you detect performance changes quickly and tie visibility changes directly to content updates or campaigns you've launched.
How do I measure my AI visibility using prompt tracking?
For each tracked prompt, Profound returns a Visibility Score (whether your brand appeared in the AI response), Visibility Rank (your relative position among mentioned brands), Share of Voice (how often you're mentioned compared to competitors), and citation data (which sources the AI referenced). You can filter these metrics by platform, region, topic, and persona to see visibility broken down by the dimensions your team reports on. Trend views show how each metric changes day to day.
Can prompt tracking feed into content creation and optimization?
Yes, prompt-level data on visibility, citations, and sentiment connects directly to Profound's content tools. You can use citation data to identify which pages AI references most often and optimize those pages or create new ones targeting the prompts where your brand isn't appearing.
Is Profound hard to set up?
No, most teams are tracking prompts inside Profound within a day. The platform connects to your existing analytics stack, including Google Analytics and CDN providers like Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, and more, without requiring engineering resources. Onboarding is guided by Profound's team of AEO strategists, who help you configure your prompt set, topics, segments, and integrations from day one.
Is Profound easy to use?
Yes. Profound is built for SEO and content teams, not developers. Building a prompt set, reviewing visibility data, and exporting reports follow consistent workflows regardless of technical background, and the UI is designed to make daily check-ins fast. Profound's customer success team is available via dedicated Slack for enterprise teams, and there's an in-app help widget for all plan tiers.
Does Profound give teams clear next steps based on prompt data?
Yes. Profound shows you which prompts are performing, which citations are driving AI responses, and how sentiment is trending-then pairs that with content tools you can act on directly. Instead of returning a list of findings with no path forward, Profound connects measurement to execution: you can create a content brief, update an existing page, or trigger an Agent workflow from the same dashboard where you review prompt data.
