Stay with Profound if
  • You are an enterprise brand that needs deep prompt-volume and agent-level analytics at scale
  • You need dedicated enterprise support and reporting built for large marketing organizations
  • Your budget already supports a $499+/mo monitoring-only tool
Switch to Climb AI if
  • You want AI-visibility monitoring plus the actual fix files, not just a report telling you something is wrong
  • You want traditional SEO, content writing, and publishing bundled with GEO tracking
  • You're a small or mid-size business that can't justify enterprise pricing for monitoring alone
  • You want a 5-day free trial and 30-day money-back guarantee before committing

What actually happens

Your first five days, hour by hour.

No onboarding call, no implementation project, no waiting on a strategist.

  1. 1
    Day 1

    Setup takes about 15 minutes

    Enter your domain. The agent reads your site and fills in business, audience, competitors, brand voice, schedule and keyword sources. You review and save.

  2. 2
    Day 1

    Your first audit lands

    Technical health and AI visibility are both scored, with a prioritised fix queue and the exact gap against your top competitor.

  3. 3
    Day 2

    Fixes start applying

    Schema, alt text, meta descriptions, internal links, llms.txt. Approve the queue or let the high-priority items apply themselves.

  4. 4
    Day 3

    First articles arrive for review

    Written in your voice, each with a live SEO score and checklist. Edit, approve, or let the schedule publish them to WordPress.

  5. 5
    Day 5

    Decide before you are charged

    Trial ends. Keep going, or cancel and pay nothing. If you keep going, the 30-day money-back guarantee still applies.

Zero risk

Three ways out, before you are ever stuck.

5 days
Free, in full

Both agents, all 13 modules, from the first minute. Cancel inside the trial and you are never charged.

30 days
Money back

If the first month does not earn its place, email us and we refund the charge in full. No forms, no retention call.

Forever
Price locked

When we raise prices for new customers, yours does not move for as long as you stay subscribed.

Switching from Profound

No. Climb AI tracks whether your brand is cited across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek, but it does not report prompt-volume or agent-level analytics the way Profound does.

Fair questions
