Suggestions from Aim

Last updated: October 1, 2026

Suggestions are pieces of work that AI Marketer (Aim) recommends based on your data, such as a page that's losing citations, a publication that describes your product incorrectly, or a topic where a competitor leads in visibility.

Suggestions appear on Profound's home page (Workspace > AI Marketer), on the Projects page, and inside each Project. The Suggestions page lists all of them.


Types of Suggestions

Tasks and Projects

Aim suggests new tasks and Projects.

A task Suggestion is one piece of work: refresh a page, pitch a publication, or add prompts to a topic. A Project Suggestion is an initiative with a goal and a set of tasks.

A task can belong to a Project or run as a stand-alone chat with Aim. From a stand-alone task chat, ask Aim to start a new Project.

Learn more about Projects and tasks in 📄 About Projects.

A task Suggestion shows:

  • Category: Owned, Earned, Social, or Paid.

  • Sources: the data Aim drew on, such as Visibility, Citations, Prompt inventory, or Web research.

  • Summary: what the data shows.

  • Suggestion: the plan and why it matters.

To open the Customize your AI Marketer drawer, select Settings at the top of the Suggestions page, or select Customize Suggestions in Suggestions from Aim on the home page.

Customize your AI Marketer drawer with role, focus area, priority, and custom instruction settings.
  1. Under About you, enter your Job title and choose your Focus areas: Owned (your site and content), Earned (third-party coverage), Social, Paid, or any combination. To see Suggestions across every area, leave them all selected.

  2. Under Priorities, select the Topics, Regions, Personas, and Tags from your Profound configuration that matter most to you. Aim weights its Suggestions toward them.

  3. Under Custom Instructions, write rules or goals in plain language, for example, "Prioritize pages that are losing citation share" or "Don't suggest Reddit or YouTube work."

  4. Select Save, then refresh Suggestions to see the changes.

These settings apply only to you and to the brand you've selected. Your teammates set their own.
