In depth
Why brand mentions matter more every year
When people ask Google, ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for “the best tool for X”, the answer is built from pages those systems trust: roundups, reviews, comparisons and alternatives articles. If your brand is not named on those pages, you are not in the answer, however good your own website is. Brand mentions put you there.
How AI assistants decide who to recommend
Large language models and AI search features learn which brands belong to a category from how often, and where, those brands are mentioned together with that category. Being named consistently on trusted, relevant pages, with an accurate description of what you do, makes it more likely that you are included when someone asks.
Which pages we target
We start by finding the pages that already appear for your category searches and the sources AI tools cite for them. Then we work on getting you added: “best X software” lists, “X alternatives” articles, comparisons and category reviews. We prioritise pages that rank and are updated regularly.
Linked vs unlinked mentions
Most placements include a link. Some publishers only allow a mention. An unlinked mention still strengthens your brand as an entity that search engines connect with your category. We always tell you which is which before you order.
Measuring the result
Brand mentions work differently from classic backlinks, so we report on where you now appear and track whether AI assistants and search results start naming you for your key category queries, alongside the usual link metrics.
This is right for you if
- You sell a product or service in a category with “best of” and comparison searches
- You want to show up in AI answers, not just blue links
- You have a clear positioning we can describe accurately
It is not the right fit if
- You need link equity to one specific page above all else (guest posts suit that better)
- Your category has no listicles or review content yet
- You want mentions without any control over accuracy (we always check the description)

Why do brand mentions matter for AI search?
Large language models learn which brands are associated with a category from the pages they read and cite. Being named repeatedly in trusted lists and reviews makes it more likely you are recommended.
Do brand mentions include a link?
Most do. Where a publisher only allows a mention, it still strengthens your brand as an entity in search, and we tell you before you order.
Can you get us into a specific article?
Send us the URLs you want to appear in. We check whether the publisher accepts updates and quote for each one.
Is this the same as a press release?
No. Press releases are rarely read or cited. Brand mentions place you inside the content buyers and AI tools already use to make decisions.
How quickly do brand mentions affect AI answers?
It varies by assistant and how often it refreshes its sources. Search-connected tools such as Perplexity and Google’s AI features can reflect new pages within weeks; model knowledge updates less often.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us?
No one can honestly guarantee that. What we can do is get you named on the pages those tools read and cite, which is the main lever you control.
Do you write the description of our brand?
We draft it from your positioning and send it to you for approval before it goes to the publisher.
