If your company doesn't have a GEO strategy yet, it's time.

Today, @tryprofound is launching Aim, the first background agent purpose-built for marketers.

For months, we've been obsessed with one problem: dashboards tell you what's happening, but not how to act on the data.

Aim is the agent harness designed specifically for marketing. Aim is trained from scratch on Profound's proprietary data, grounded in our research, and understands how marketers get work done.

Aim analyzes your AI Search data, Prompt Volumes, competitive insights, and Knowledge Base to surface the opportunities worth acting on. It finds the anomalies that matter so you can spend your time on what moves the needle.

Every Project comes with a data-backed brief and recommended tasks. From there, you can:

• Chat with Aim to refine the plan • Deploy the custom Agent in one click • Track progress automatically

Aim is your newest teammate keeping you moving in the right direction, working 24/7.

The feedback loop appears to be the only helpful thing in this demo.

I’m pushing hard on SEO/GEO bc it’s a land grab

What’s helping me now are my own structured experiments that answer what worked AND how much

V1 set up: ~6 cohorts of 30 pages each Make 1 change per cohort Traffic changes on t=7/14/28

Then compare against control group

Clicks & Citations growing 50%-100% m/m and I haven’t yet launched my backlink efforts

Loss of clicks doesn’t matter if people search/prompt “what’s the best dog app”

And Tails wins

@Super_PK_ Definitely a land grab and a lot of alpha still in being early to it

@Alfred_Lin Been unimpressed by the dozens of AI marketers but I’ll give this one a try.

Analysis feedback loop looks interesting.
