    Better at data analysis but not as good at workflow integration

    Looked at AthenaHQ, but even their employee recommended we go with Profound due to internal issues. After the Profound demo and trial, we were sold.

    Semrush is much more mature for SEO but lacks the focus needed to be effective for AEO. Because Profound is build for AEO from the ground up, all of the associated features are optimized to be useful for AEO (for example focusing purely on topic visibility). SEMRush's AI Search …

    They all offer different things, especially Semrush/Ahrefs. Scrunch tracks data with different metrics than Profound, and at times they can tell pretty different stories. I use both tools at this point in time.

    AirOps has more of a focus on workflow creation over data analysis. My company builds all our workflows in house via Claude, so this function isn't very important for the AI visibility tool we select. Profound is also the only AI search tracking platform that has firsthand data …

    We didn’t know of many similar ones to Profound, which is why we were excited about it. We wanted to be ahead of the curve. We really only had evaluated traditional SEO platforms and Google Analytics is what we used previously. Profound integrated well with Google Analytics too.

    Profound is a great AEO platform, with so much information and insights available around what competitors are doing and what prospects are searching for, and how we are cited. The down side is also just too much information and without enough resources or a full time person using the platform, it's difficult to know what to prioritize

    Profound tracks A LOT of data, which is great, but it can also be overwhelming to look at/digest all the raw data without their internal measurements.

    Semrush is much more mature for SEO but lacks the focus needed to be effective for AEO. Because Profound is build for AEO from the ground up, all of the associated features are optimized to be useful for AEO (for example focusing purely on topic visibility). SEMRush's AI Search tools feel a bit muddled in the system they have set up for SEO
