The Groundwork Behind Brand Mentions
Even therefore, disagreement between sources forces voice assistants to guess, and a guess is rarely favourable. Where an ad stops working the moment the budget ends, a corrected record does not.
Keep the description factual; the categories carry the relevance work. Across a large enough sample, the correlation between unambiguous data and branded queries is difficult to dismiss. Chasing obscure directories is less valuable than fixing the three sources listing networks actually read. Merely as important, search engines compare the same fields across dozens of sources and weigh the agreement.
