What are brand mentions
Any public reference to your brand, including your product and your founder by name.
Unlinked mentions
- Name you without a link.
- Still count for search and AI answers.
How to track brand mentions
Start with a list of names, not a tool.
Track your brand, product and founder, set a few competitors beside them as a benchmark, and rule out the false hits before you count anything.
Your brand
Your name as people actually spell it, misspellings included.
Up to three competitors
So the numbers have a benchmark.
Words to exclude
If your name is a common word, tell us what it is not.
