Two different approaches

Generate content or fix the whole funnel?

Profound and SearchScore solve different pieces of the same puzzle. Profound gives you content to publish. SearchScore tells you whether the content (and the site behind it) actually converts visitors into customers. Learn more in our GEO vs SEO guide.

Common questions

SearchScore vs Profound, answered.

Can I try SearchScore before paying?

SearchScore offers a full diagnosis free with no email: your AI Search Score, SEO Score and CRO Score, plus what is broken. Profound does not advertise a free tier; its entry plan starts at approximately $100/month.

What makes Profound different from SearchScore?

Profound generates AI-optimised content and tracks how AI bots crawl your site. SearchScore takes a different approach: it scores your AI visibility, SEO and conversion rate in one scan, then ships the fixes for you. Profound is a content tool; SearchScore is a diagnosis-and-fix service.

Does Profound cover SEO or conversion tracking?

No. Profound focuses on AI visibility and agent analytics. If you need SEO scoring (100+ signals) and CRO scoring (30+ signals), SearchScore is the better fit. Being found by AI only matters if your site also ranks on Google and converts visitors.

SearchScore Tracker starts at about $25/month with all six AI engines and cancel-anytime billing. Profound's entry plan is approximately $100/month. Profound's Growth plan with content generation is approximately $399/month.

What are Profound's agent analytics?

Profound tracks how AI bots crawl and interact with your website content. This is useful for understanding whether AI agents can access your pages. SearchScore approaches this differently by scoring whether the AI engines actually recommend you in their answers.
