seo-profound

Profound LLM citation tracker (extension). Time-series brand citation rates across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other LLMs. Pairs with seo-seranking for triangulated AI visibility coverage.

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.
