A backlink is a vote. A mention is a sentence a model can quote.
Search engines rank pages by counting links. AI engines write answers by reading sentences and repeating the ones that answer the question. Those are two different games, and only one of them is still growing.
The usual backlink
- Bought on whatever page will sell one, whether or not anyone reads it
- Sits in a link roundup, an author bio or a footer, away from the actual answer
- Sold on Domain Rating, a number about the domain, not about this page
- Pays off in months, if the algorithm agrees
- Quietly removed six months later and nobody tells you
A Katteb mention
- Bought on pages we can prove are already pulled into AI answers, measured per page from Search Console
- Written into the paragraph that answers the question, which is the part a model quotes
- Priced on that page's own AI answer impressions and real traffic, not a domain-wide score
- Live on the next crawl, and you see the exact sentence before you buy it
- Re-checked every single day, and refunded automatically the moment it disappears
The short version. If you want to rank tenth on a page nobody scrolls to, buy a link. If you want the model to name your brand while it answers, you need to be in the sentence it is reading.

Frequently Asked
Everything advertisers and publishers ask before their first mention.
A short, contextual reference to your brand with a link, placed inside an existing sentence of a relevant article. Our AI finds the best sentence on the page, shows you a preview, and you approve it with one click.
AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews do not invent answers, they assemble them from pages they have crawled and trust. The trick is knowing which pages those are. Every publisher on Katteb connects Search Console, so we can see exactly how many times each page has appeared inside an AI answer in the last 28 days. You buy a sentence on the pages with the highest numbers, and the next time a model answers that question it is reading a paragraph with your brand in it.
Because they solve different problems. A backlink is a vote counted by a ranking algorithm, which is why it is sold on domain-wide scores and takes months to matter. A mention is a sentence, and a sentence is what a language model can actually quote. We price on that individual page's AI answer impressions rather than its domain score, we show you the exact sentence and the exact paragraph it lands after, and we re-check it every day and refund you the moment it disappears. If your goal is a ranking, buy a link. If your goal is to be named in the answer, you have to be in the text.
We count AI answer impressions for every page on a publisher site and correlate them with its organic traffic to set a base price per page, plus a domain average. The final price is dynamic per advertiser: it reflects how well the page fits your goal and filters. If your target audience is Canada and the page's traffic is mostly Canadian, it prices at full value; if the best available page only partly matches your target, it prices lower.
Through native integrations. Katteb connects to the publisher's CMS through its official API (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Ghost and more) and writes the approved mention into the post content itself. It lives in the HTML AI crawlers read, and publishers can remove it with one click.
Each publisher sets a link attribute policy, dofollow or rel sponsored, and it is shown on every opportunity card before you buy. Pricing reflects it, so you always know exactly what you are paying for.
Advertisers only spend wallet credit when a mention is published and verified live. Publishers earn on the same event. We re-check every placement daily and refund automatically if a mention ever disappears.
No. Top up $10, $50 or $100, use the credit whenever you want. Bigger packages add 10% or 25% free credit on top.
