# Recommendation

> Whether an answer recommends this brand, mentions it, or advises against it.

Separate from sentiment: whether an answer recommends this brand, mentions it neutrally, or advises against it.

## How it is counted

* The analysis labels each classified mention recommended, mentioned or advised against. Like [Sentiment](/reference/metrics/sentiment), it is counted over mentions rather than answers.
* The tile shows recommended mentions as a share of all classified mentions, with the bar beneath it showing all three shares.
* An answer can describe this brand positively without recommending it, which is why the two are counted apart.
