# ProfileTrace Agent Guide

Canonical guide: https://www.profiletrace.ai/agents/

ProfileTrace searches public websites for profiles tied to a username. Use it to find public profile leads, review possible impersonation, or audit your own public footprint.

## Access and cost
Start with a free account. The first search is free, with no card required. Further searches use credits; check current pricing before planning more searches or spending credits.

These links open the ProfileTrace web app. The user signs in or creates an account, enters a username, and reviews the results. This guide does not provide an API or an autonomous search connection.

## Find public profiles for a username
Input: An exact public username. If you only have a display name, ask for a handle or public profile URL first.
Steps: Search the handle in ProfileTrace. Review candidate profile URLs and compare public signals before connecting accounts to a person.
Output: A list of candidate public profiles, supporting signals, and unresolved matches.

## Review possible impersonation
Input: A known official public profile and the suspicious handle or public URL.
Steps: Search the suspicious handle. Compare it with the official account and its outbound links. Record URLs and discrepancies without treating a resemblance as confirmed impersonation.
Output: Public evidence and uncertainties for the user to review before reporting an account.

## Audit your own public footprint
Input: A username you use or previously used. Review one handle at a time.
Steps: Search the handle and verify which results are yours. Follow each platform's own settings or support process to update or remove your accounts.
Output: A verified account list and a cleanup checklist. ProfileTrace does not remove accounts for you.

## Interpretation
A matching username is a lead, not proof that accounts belong to the same person. Compare official links, bios, and account history. A missing result does not prove that an account does not exist.

## Boundaries
Public pages only. ProfileTrace does not access private accounts, messages, hidden media, subscriber-only content, or private databases. It is not a background check or a legal conclusion.
