Links and reputation
Brand awareness
Also known as: brand awareness
How familiar a defined audience is with a brand.
A practical example
Customers start searching for a company by name.
What should I know?
Branded search growth is only one possible signal.
Links and reputation in practice
Source context and credibility matter, not just link count. Distinguish natural coverage, labeled advertising, and manipulation. Tool providers' proprietary metrics help comparisons but are not official search engine scores.
