Get Your Brand Mentioned by AI Assistants
Strategies for increasing how often AI systems mention your brand when users ask relevant questions.
Overview
Brand mentions occur when AI systems name your company, product, or service in their responses. Unlike citations, mentions may not include source links but still drive awareness and credibility.
Why It Matters
When users ask AI for recommendations and your brand is mentioned, it drives awareness and consideration. Brand mentions in AI responses increasingly influence purchase decisions as more users rely on AI for research.
