geo-brand-mentions is a skill for Claude Code from techhorizonlabs/thl-open. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,529 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scanner that checks how often a brand is mentioned on websites and platforms that AI systems use to understand businesses and choose sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review brand mentions across platforms, receive an overall authority score, and get platform-specific recommendations.
Why use it?
It shows which public references may support or weaken a brand's chance of appearing in AI-generated recommendations, without claiming that an AI system actually mentioned it.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Provenance (THL):** tag the score `[scan]` (data fetched this run), `[partial-scan]`, `[heuristic]` (judgement, no data), or `[unmeasured]`, and emit `n/a` in.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

geo-brand-mentions scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 17d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Brand Mention Scanner Skill

Core Insight

Brand mentions correlate more strongly with AI visibility than traditional backlinks. An Ahrefs brand study (2025, ~75,000 brands, cited as reported; see docs/SOURCES.md) found unlinked brand mentions (references to a brand name with no hyperlink) predict whether AI systems cite and recommend a brand better than Domain Rating or backlink count.

This measures off-page authority signals, not answer-engine outcomes. Wikipedia/Wikidata are checked live via their APIs; the other platforms are assessed via search, not by querying the AI engines. A high Brand Authority Score means the signals AI trusts are present. It does not confirm any engine actually names you. For that live check, run the free scan at areyoufoundbyai.com (two buyer questions on ChatGPT and Gemini; the paid measure covers all seven engines).

The critical finding: the platform the mention sits on matters enormously. A mention on YouTube or Reddit carries far more weight for AI citation than one on a low-authority blog, because AI training data and retrieval systems disproportionately index high-engagement platforms.

This inverts a core SEO assumption. In SEO, a backlink from a high-DR site is the gold standard. In GEO, an unlinked mention on Reddit or in a YouTube description may be worth more than a dofollow backlink from a DR 70 blog.

Platforms that matter

AI systems weight a handful of platforms far above backlinks. Each platform's rationale, scan recipe, and 0-100 scoring rubric live in references/platforms.md. Read it before scoring. Ranked by correlation with AI citation:

  1. YouTube (~0.737, strongest): channel + third-party video/description/transcript mentions
  2. Reddit: subreddit discussion, recommendation threads, sentiment
  3. Wikipedia / Wikidata: the entity-recognition foundation
  4. LinkedIn: professional / B2B authority signals
  5. Other: Quora, Stack Overflow, GitHub, forums, news, podcasts (scored as one basket)
