Why Brand Mentions Matter
A mention names you or your brand on someone else’s website without a link. Each one is a publisher vouching for you in public.
Ahrefs found that brand mentions track with visibility in Google’s AI Overviews more closely than backlinks do (0.664 vs 0.218). [Dani: confirm you want stats on the page; link the study]
