In the past, marketing and growth strategies relied on ranking prominently in Google search results. But today, consumers increasingly skip traditional search and go directly to Answer Engines like ChatGPT. Prompt Volumes is Profound’s product that reveals what people are actually asking Answer Engines like ChatGPT. With Prompt Volumes, you can track trending user questions, identify emerging topics before competitors do, and measure sentiment and intent in real-time AI conversations.

Marketers today are forced to stitch together siloed tools to do their jobs. SEO research in one platform, AI/Answer Engine optimization somewhere else, drafting content in another, routing approvals through project tools, publishing in a CMS, and monitoring performance in yet another analytics system. Profound Workflows brings these fragmented steps into one automated, repeatable system built for marketing teams of all shapes and sizes. By turning custom marketing processes into reusable automations, Workflows helps teams move faster while staying focused on the initiatives that actually move the needle in AI search and beyond.

Main use cases of Profound Workflows are content creation and optimization. By integrating AI visibility insights with deep research LLMs, content optimization models, a brand's knowledge base, and other components of marketers' tech stacks, Profound helps translate those insights into concrete outputs including messaging angles, briefs, and complete drafts. Marketers can stop guessing what to say, start align content to real market language, move faster from insight to execution, and produce content that performs because it’s grounded in how buyers actually search and how AI agents actually find and surface information.
