Brand Mention

Definition

Brand mentions are online references to your brand, company, or product. These mentions show up in product reviews, blog posts, social media posts, and news articles.

Brand mentions affect your brand’s reputation, so it’s important to monitor them and address any negative mentions ASAP.
