Mention vs citation

A mention names your brand in the answer text; a citation links to your domain as a source.

Why it matters

You can be mentioned without traffic, or cited without the brand name appearing prominently—each needs different fixes.

Visus reports mention rate and domain citation rate separately on monthly checks.
