Service  /  Brand Mentions

Brand mentions.

Repeated, positive mentions in the right context teach answer engines what your brand stands for and why they should surface it.

  • Seed your brand into reviews and listicles on relevant, trafficked sites.
  • Control the narrative with your own USPs and context.
  • Give LLMs the positive signals they use to cite and recommend brands.
  • Hands off and done for you.
Process  /  How it works

You brief us. We seed the story.

You keep full visibility at every stage, and you can approve both the site and the content before anything goes live. Campaigns flex to your goals, so you can start small or scale up as you grow.

01
We learn your brand

We start with your USPs, positioning and the context you want associated with your brand, so every mention reinforces the same story.

02
We find relevant sites

We do the outreach for you, finding trusted, trafficked sites in your industry where a mention will actually carry weight with search engines and AI.

03
You approve the site

Before we go any further, you review each opportunity with full visibility. Nothing moves ahead without your sign-off.

04
We create the mention

We write a natural review or listicle that features your brand with your USPs and context woven in, so it reads as genuine editorial rather than an ad.

05
You approve, then we publish

You review the draft before it goes live. Once published, the page is indexed by Google and available for answer engines to pick up and cite.

Forte takes a very personal and custom approach to building highly relevant, targeted links. We are very happy with the quality and relevance of the online references for our clients.

Why it works  /  The benefits
Shape AI answers

Answer engines lean on what the web says about you. Positive mentions in the right context make them more likely to describe and recommend your brand well.

Control the narrative

We wrap each mention in your own USPs and context, so the story that spreads is the one you want told.

Relevant placements

Mentions land on relevant, trafficked sites in your industry, not random pages that carry no weight.

Reviews and listicles

Get included in positive reviews and 'best of' listicles that help you show up ahead of competitors.

Fuel for search too

The same pages are indexed by Google, so you build brand signals for both classic search and AI at once.

Designed for all

Suitable for SMBs through to in-house consultants and agencies, at a scale that fits your goals.

FAQ  /  Common questions

Answers before you ask.

What is a brand mention and how is it different from a link?
A brand mention is a positive reference to your brand in context, such as a review or a 'best of' listicle. It may or may not include a link. The value is in the signal it sends to answer engines about who you are and why you should be recommended.
How does this help my visibility in AI?
Answer engines build their picture of your brand from what the web says about you. Repeated, positive mentions on trusted sites give them the context they use to describe you accurately and surface you in relevant answers.
Do I get to choose where my brand is mentioned?
Yes. We find relevant, trafficked sites in your industry and share each opportunity with you. Nothing goes ahead until you have approved the site.
Can I approve the content before it is published?
Yes. You review the draft review or listicle before it goes live, so the story that spreads is the one you want told.
What kind of sites do you place mentions on?
Relevant, trafficked sites in your industry with real authority, not random pages that carry no weight. The mention needs to sit somewhere search engines and AI already trust.
Does this help with Google as well as AI?
Yes. The same pages are indexed by Google, so you build brand signals for classic search and answer engines at the same time.
How many mentions do I need?
It depends on your goals and how competitive your space is. Campaigns flex to your goals, so you can start small to prove the model and scale up as you grow.
