    Config & Organization

    This covers the advanced configuration layer: how settings shape what Profound considers true, how name matching prevents ghost mentions, how the entity parser controls what gets extracted, and how tags keep your setup organized and your experiments measurable.

    Your brand is Tempur-Pedic, but AI responses sometimes refer to you as Tempurpedic, Temper-Pedic or Tempur Breeze. Your visibility score seems lower than expected given how often you see your brand mentioned in actual AI answers. What's the most likely cause?

    If you have any doubts, please go back and rewatch

    Advanced Custom Setups

    A PR team wants to measure how often their brand is cited as an authoritative source in AI responses - phrases like “according to [brand]”. Which entity parser setting should they enable?

    If you have any doubts, please go back and rewatch

    Advanced Custom Setups

    You added 30 informational prompts (like 'what is AI visibility?') across several topics. Your aggregate visibility score dropped significantly, but your competitive rank didn't change. What happened?

    If you have any doubts, please go back and rewatch

    Organizing for Scale and Experimentation

    How do tags differ from topics in Profound's organizational hierarchy?

    If you have any doubts, please go back and rewatch

    Organizing for Scale and Experimentation

    Your team is about to launch a content experiment targeting historical data prompts. When should you tag these prompts with the experiment label?
