Mention rate

Mention rate is the share of answers that named your business, out of all the times a question was asked.

In a little more detail

It is the number this whole field is trying to move, and it is only meaningful with the number of attempts printed next to it. Two out of two is not a better result than six out of nine; it is a smaller one.
