What direct vs. indirect means
DIRECT content names OHOUP, its product, or a competitor. INDIRECT content never mentions the brand but is commercially relevant — a meme about pretending to work after a 1,400-calorie lunch can matter more than a low-engagement brand mention. Traditional mention monitoring only sees the first kind.
