How do we select a portal for a brand mention publication?
Not every site is suitable for effective brand mention publishing. We verify organic traffic, topical relevance, indexation history, and the cleanliness of the link profile for every portal in our network.

Portal selection criteria
- 01
Organic traffic, not just DR
We verify real visitor data for every portal. A branded mention on a site with organic traffic is crawled regularly and interpreted by the algorithm in a natural context.
- 02
Article topicality
We select articles whose topic is aligned with the client's industry. Mentions on topical sites only work when the semantic context matches the brand.
- 03
Indexation history
We check whether the portal has a stable history of content being indexed by Google. A brand mention on a site with no track record may never reach the index.
- 04
Clean link profile
We rigorously maintain the structure of our sites, eliminating any risk of link farm patterns. Editorial mentions in a clean environment protect the brand's reputation.
We never select portals based on a single metric alone.

Who are branded mentions for?
Brand mentions in articles are particularly effective for brands looking to build authority and recognition without an over-concentration of backlinks — or as a complement to an existing link-building campaign.
SEO agencies and freelancers
Order branded mentions in white-label mode — for clients without revealing the source. Our own portal network, source pricing, and a report ready for resale.
Brands with extensive link profiles
Brand mentions diversify your profile and give it a natural character. Especially valuable for domains that already have a strong backlink base and want to complement it with brand signals.
SaaS and tech companies
Editorial mentions on IT and B2B portals build recognition among decision-makers. A brand cited in expert articles enters the AI knowledge index as a recommended solution.
Regulated industries
Finance, healthcare, law — branded mentions without a link in expert articles build authority without the risk of penalties for an unnatural link profile.
