Brand Mention

A brand mention is an occurrence of a brand name or one of its recognised aliases in the text of an AI answer, with or without a link.

Technical explanation

Varazm matches mentions with Unicode-aware, word-boundary matching across every alias you register, so Persian and English forms of the same brand count as one entity.

Example

"Varazm Ltd offers managed IT in London" is a mention; it becomes a citation only if the answer also links to varazm.com.

How it differs

Mentions measure awareness inside answers; citations measure sourcing. Both are stored separately.
