Who we are: Profound Agency LLC, trading as The Profound Agency, based in Hillsborough, New Jersey, USA. Founded and led by Jason Steinberg.
What we sell: AI visibility, or generative engine optimization: the work that gets a business read, quoted and recommended by answer engines.
Paid editorial placement in 1,600+ publications, each bookable on its own at a published price. The directory.
Paid media across 17 channels, from Meta and TikTok to Connected TV, streaming audio, digital out-of-home and geo-targeted mobile. The channels.
Websites and web apps, printed marketing materials and branded merch, at published prices. All services.
Non-partisan political advertising. Political campaigns.
The publication directory: 1,600+ publications, each with its own page showing its price, Domain Authority, turnaround, region and whether it is labelled sponsored. Prices run from $150 to $88,500; the median is $1,150. Exactly 1,666 as of September 25, 2026.
Buying a placement: Paid in full at checkout, where a 3.5% processing fee is added. We write the article or you send your own draft, and nothing is published without your final approval. If an article is not published within 90 days of purchase, you can have a refund, less processing, administrative and writing fees. Terms of Service.
Paid media pricing: Priced per campaign rather than from a rate card: you send a brief and a person replies with a quote.
How we work: Every engagement runs the same four phases: Research, Strategy, Planning, and Deployment & Monitoring. What the last phase measures feeds the next round of research.
Free AI visibility audit: Scores a website out of 100 on crawler access, structured data, answer readiness, agent files, off-site authority and freshness, from public data only. It does not ask any assistant about you. Request one.
For AI agents: An MCP server lets an agent search, price and order placements and describe the paid channels, with no key; a human always completes payment. See also llms.txt and the glossary.
