Why businesses switch
What we fix
AI answers never name your brand
LLMs cite brands that are consistently mentioned alongside their category. We build that co-occurrence in Saudi and Gulf media.
Your links look unnatural
Real brands get mentioned without links far more often than they get linked. Mentions balance the profile.
Competitors are in every “best of” list
We get you into the roundups and comparison articles buyers read before they search for you by name.

Why mentions matter now
Google’s entity understanding and the large language models behind AI search both rely on how often and where a brand is named next to its category and location. A Riyadh clinic mentioned in ten Saudi health articles is more likely to be recommended than one with no mentions and a few bought links. Mentions also protect a link profile by keeping the linked-to-unlinked ratio natural.
