Nyman Media vs Profound.
Profound is an AI brand-mention tracker. It monitors how your brand is described across answers in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.
Profound and Nyman Media solve different problems. Profound tracks how your brand shows up across answers in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Nyman Media tells you whether your site's structure, schema, and crawlability actually allow those models to find and parse you in the first place.
Both layers matter, and Nyman Media now covers part of the second. Our AI visibility snapshot runs buyer-intent questions on demand and reports your brand mention rate, share-of-voice vs named competitors, and average position in one shot. We do not run continuous monitoring or change alerts. Run the audit and the snapshot to fix the foundation and get a same-session read on whether you show up. Continuous tracking is a separate category we don't ship today.

Start here. Run a free audit to fix the input side, then run our AI visibility snapshot to see your mention rate, share-of-voice, and average position across buyer-intent questions in a single pass. That covers most teams. We don't ship continuous tracking or change alerts. There's no point tracking citation share for a site AI crawlers can't reach, so the order is foundation first, snapshot next.
