Example prompt: Can you search Google for brand mentions of 'Notion' and return up to 20 results, excluding notion.so so I can see what third-party sites are talking about them?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real, verifiable web mentions of a brand with sentiment context, clickable URLs, and source classification — particularly useful for reputation monitoring, PR tracking, or competitor research. Prefer it over social-media-specific monitoring tools when you need broad web coverage including news sites, blogs, and forums indexed by Google.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'brand_name' parameter returns a validation error
- Brand name with no Google results returns an empty mentions array
- Overly generic brand names may return noisy, unrelated results
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may return a 402 or 429 error
- Invalid 'max_results' value may cause a parameter error
