Launchmind - SEO and AI articles with measured results
Alex, the Launchmind content colleague, writes 1,800 to 2,200 word articles in your words, publishes them on your own website after your approval and measures the result every day: which share of articles is in the Google top 10 after 90 days (Search Console, last 28 days) and which are cited in five AI engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overview. Our goal: 40 percent of all articles in the Google top 10 and cited by AI.
How it works
Connect your website (WordPress, Shopify, PrestaShop, Webflow, HubSpot, Framer, Laravel, Odoo or Craft). Alex builds a content plan of topic series from your Search Console data and the real Google results, writes each article with facts that carry a source and a year, and sends it to you by email or in the dashboard. Approve it or rewrite it per sentence. No response? Then the article goes live automatically after 48 hours; you can extend that yourself to 7 days. First article within 3 days after connecting.
Measured in Google and five AI engines
Every article gets schema markup, alt texts and IndexNow; hreflang for translations on WordPress, Shopify, PrestaShop and Laravel. AI visibility is checked with five question shapes per keyword (best options, informational, comparison, local, doubt), weekly in the first 90 days and every two weeks after that. Per article you see which question produced a mention. The system learns from Search Console and from AI citations to update the content plan and refresh existing articles.
Pricing
Four plans from 425 to 1,899 euro per month ex VAT for 10 to 50 articles, on a 1, 2 or 3 year contract with a discount; monthly is possible at a 7 percent surcharge. Content in 9 languages; the site itself in 8.
Launchmind vs Profound
An enterprise AEO/GEO tracker versus a published-authority engine that earns citations.
Profound is the most respected pure-play AEO platform on the market. Brand visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini is what they do, and they do it well. Marketing teams in PR, brand, and content leadership use Profound to understand how AI assistants represent them. What Profound does not do at scale: ship the GEO-structured articles that earn those citations in the first place. Launchmind does.
When Profound is the better choice
- You operate an enterprise PR or brand function and need deep multi-LLM monitoring of brand mentions, sentiment, and prompt volume.
- Tracking how AI assistants represent your category is the strategic question - and you have the budget for an enterprise contract.
- You want to understand which prompts drive consumer AI discovery in your industry at portfolio depth.
- Your buyer is a CMO or VP of Communications, not a founder.
When Launchmind is the better choice
- You want to be cited by AI assistants, not just measure how often you are absent from their responses.
- Production of GEO-structured authority content at volume is the real bottleneck.
- Pricing transparency and SMB-to-scaleup band economics matter - Profound is enterprise-priced and gated.
- You publish to WordPress, Shopify, or PrestaShop and want auto-publish included.
- Published, optimized articles are the deliverable, not just dashboards.
- You want more than articles alone: Q&A in your own words, automatic social posts to LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram, lead capture on articles and a personal real-time dashboard are all included.
Track invisibility, or end it.
Profound is genuinely sophisticated at telling you, with elegant dashboards, that you are absent from AI assistant answers. Useful diagnostic for an enterprise brand team. The implicit next step is to commission content, brief writers, optimize for GEO, and publish, all out of scope for Profound. Launchmind is what closes the gap Profound measures.
Profound's typical buyer is enterprise marketing leadership with custom annual contracts. Launchmind's typical buyer is the founder or growth lead at a 5-250 FTE company with €425-1,399/month budgets.
AEO agents versus citation-engineered articles.
Profound ships autonomous agents - FAQ generators, prompt analysis, brand-monitoring workflows. The agents are smart but produce inputs, not published articles. Launchmind ships finished articles structured for AI citation: factual openings, definitions, source attribution, FAQ schema. The agents and the articles solve different parts of the same problem.
Enterprise gating versus self-serve.
Profound's pricing is custom, demo-required, and gated. Public pricing is not visible. The contract structure assumes annual commitments and procurement processes. You pay a one-time setup fee; your first article is live within 48 hours. The buying motion tells you who each company is built for.
Multi-LLM tracking is real value, narrowly applicable.
Profound's coverage across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini is comprehensive. For a Fortune 500 brand, this multi-engine view is strategic. For a B2B SMB or scaleup, the strategic question is not 'which LLMs mention us at what frequency' but 'how do we get cited at all.' Launchmind solves the latter.
Prompt volumes are upstream of asset creation.
Profound surfaces which prompts drive AI discovery in a category - what real consumers ask. That input is genuinely useful. Launchmind absorbs equivalent intent data into article research without surfacing it as a separate dashboard. You get the article that ranks for the prompt rather than the analytics on the prompt.
Two stacks for two strategies.
An enterprise brand running a PR-led AEO strategy might pay Profound for visibility tracking and a separate content team for production. A scaleup running a content-led GEO strategy gets more from Launchmind producing 10-25 cited articles per month. The strategies and stacks differ by ICP.
True monthly cost: Profound stack vs Launchmind
Goal: 17 ranked, cited, published articles per month plus AEO visibility tracking. Here is each realistic stack.
The facts, briefly

FAQ
Is Profound a Launchmind competitor?
Adjacent, not direct. Profound is an AEO tracking platform; Launchmind is a content-to-citation engine. Different parts of the AI-search workflow.
Should I use both?
If you have an enterprise budget and need both deep visibility tracking and content production, yes. For most SMB and scaleup teams, Launchmind alone covers the production and reporting that matters.
Does Launchmind track AI search visibility like Profound?
We track at narrower depth than Profound - weekly checks against ChatGPT and Perplexity for articles we publish, with reporting on Pro and Enterprise plans. For Fortune 500 brand monitoring at portfolio scale, Profound has more depth.
Why is Profound so much more expensive?
Because it is sold to enterprise. Custom pricing, annual contracts, dedicated CSMs, deep integrations. Launchmind is self-serve and monthly - different buying motion.
How does Launchmind earn AI citations without Profound's tracking?
We structure articles for citation. Factual openings, definitions, source attribution, FAQ schema, citation hooks. The optimization happens at write-time rather than measurement-time.
What's the cancellation policy?
Monthly billing, cancel anytime. You pay a one-time setup fee; your first article is live within 48 hours.
