Agent analytics

Agent analytics is Profound's product for tracking how AI crawlers and answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and others) fetch a site, interpret its content, and convert that activity into real referral traffic.

Unlike JavaScript-based web analytics, which AI crawlers do not execute, Profound Agent Analytics works from server logs and CDN integrations (Vercel, Cloudflare, Akamai, AWS CloudFront, plus a WordPress plugin) to surface which AI systems are visiting which pages, how often, and whether those visits are converting into AI-driven referrals. It is a different surface from Profound's separate "Agents" feature, which automates content production workflows.
