Should I use Profound and Grow together?
Yes, in that order. Grow rebuilds the site so it's actually citable, then Profound measures the lift. Running Profound on a site that crawlers can't read just produces a flat line.

Grow vs Profound
Profound tells you how you rank in ChatGPT. Grow makes you rank in ChatGPT.
Profound is an analytics layer that measures your brand's share-of-voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Grow is the build shop that ships the semantic HTML, JSON-LD, and llms.txt those engines actually cite.
Verdict
The short answer
These are complementary, not competitive — but if you have to pick one first, fix the site. A dashboard telling you you're invisible in ChatGPT every week doesn't move the number. Shipping a citable site does. Buy Profound after Grow, not before.
Grow is best for: Teams who need a site that gets cited now, not a dashboard that confirms they aren't.

Switch to Grow if
- Profound shows you a flat share-of-voice line and you don't know what to ship to move it.
- Your AI visibility budget is going to monitoring instead of the underlying markup.
- You want a one-time fixed-price rebuild, not a $1k+/mo SaaS contract.
- You're pre-PMF and need the site itself to work before measuring it.
Stay with Profound if
- Your site is already best-in-class semantic and you need ongoing share-of-voice tracking across 50+ prompts.
- You have an in-house GEO team that needs weekly competitive intelligence to prioritise content.
