The discoverability consultancy
Know where you stand in AI. Get ahead before your competitors do.
Mention Group gets you found and trusted across AI answers, search, maps, and reviews, then runs the ads that capture the demand. We publish the AI Mention Report. Now we run that lens on you.
Trusted by 100+ brands since 2013 · Fortune 500 roots · 60:1 documented peak ROAS · Publishers of the AI Mention Report
Search is becoming the answer. The brands that get cited will own their categories. The rest quietly go invisible.
Who this is for
Built for founder-led companies, regional brands, local operators, attractions, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations that need to be found, trusted, and chosen.
What discoverability means now
Three places people decide whether you exist.
We work the whole picture, not one slice. Because being found in one and absent in the others still loses you the customer.
Search & AI answers
Generative Engine Optimization, with the SEO foundation under it. Whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity cite you when someone asks, and the speed, structure, and authority that make you the source they quote.
Geo & Local
Maps, local packs, and location signals, so you win the nearby, high-intent searches that drive foot traffic, calls, and visits.
Reviews & reputation
The trust signals that decide whether you are recommended, in maps, in reviews, and increasingly inside the AI answer itself.
The real asset is the thinking. Paid media, run well, is how that thinking captures demand once you’re found: paid social, search, programmatic, and event campaigns that sell tickets at a profit. Tested relentlessly, reported plainly.
Be found. Be trusted. Be chosen.
How it works
What happens after you click.
Benchmark
We run your AI Mention Report across AI answers, search, maps, reviews, and competitors, the places customers now decide.
Prioritize
You get a ranked plan: what to fix first, what to ignore, and where competitors are beating you.
Execute
We can run the fixes: content, reputation, SEO, local, and paid media, all under one strategy.
The flagship
Your AI Mention Report.
A strategic read on exactly where your brand stands, where your competitors are beating you, and the prioritized moves to get ahead. The work we love, the clarity you act on.
Built for serious operators, not vanity audits. Most reports are scoped after a short fit call.
What you get
A sourced, dated report showing:
- Where AI cites you, and where competitors appear instead
- What Google sees, and what reviews and local signals say
- The technical issues holding your visibility back
- The top 5–10 moves to improve, ranked by impact
- Optional: we run it, from media to content to reputation
Why trust us with it
We do not theorize about AI search. We publish the benchmark.
We publish the AI Mention Report, a sourced, dated reading of who gets cited in AI answers. It is the same rigor we bring to your report, and the reason our strategy runs on evidence instead of hunches.
Who we do our best work with
Owners and missions, not procurement.
We're a research-led consultancy with Fortune 500 roots, experience no startup shop can claim. But our heart is with founder-led and family-owned companies that move fast, and mission-driven organizations where being found means more donors, families, and good done. We take a small number of engagements and go deep. We pass on commodity work.
We are a fit when you want senior thinking, clear priorities, and measurable execution. We are not a fit when you need bulk posting, vanity dashboards, or commodity web work.
Why Mention
Strategy. Experience. Access.
We're not a social media shop promising leads you could get for free. You pay for the three things you can't: the thinking, the track record, and the bench.
Strategy
Research-led plans ranked by impact, the same rigor that builds the AI Mention Report. We will happily fight the AI for an hour to land the insight that's actually right.
Experience
Fortune 500 roots and a decade of national campaigns across paid social, search, programmatic, and connected TV. Tickets sold, venues filled, profits turned.
Access
A vetted, white-label bench of specialists across PPC, search, social, programmatic, and business development, all run under one Mention strategy and one accountable partner: us.
A note from the owner
When you work with Mention, you work with me.
I bought this firm a decade ago from its founder and rebuilt it into what it is today: a data-driven consultancy focused on strategy, analytics, and paid media. My career started in social inside the Fortune 500, which taught me to see a campaign from every seat at the table: the corporation, the buyer, the customer, and now the owner.
Off the clock I'm an Eagle Scout, a father of two, a baseball coach, and an avid bike rider. The same things that make those work, preparation, patience, and showing up, are how we run your account.
