Company on top website, no hyperlink

[smartsitting]

Hi - my company's name and website have been mentioned on 3 major websites but there is no hyperlink. Does this totally destroy any SEO value of these mentions? So disappointing, since it's hard to ask a reporter to include a hyperlink / they usually can't.

Hi Lauren,

Mentions carry some SEO benefits, not as much as hyperlinks but they do help.

If you can ask those reporters to add the link that would be much better, but the mention itself does help anyway.

Think also about that if you are mentioned in a major and relevant website, it might be helpful (and will be) - the real people will see your name and try to find you.

Thank you very much!
