Share of Voice
Share of voice refers to the number of conversations about your brand versus your competitors or your market.
SOV and Sentiment Formulas Share of Voice Formula: (positive mentions) + (neutral mentions) / (total mentions for all companies)
So for McDonald’s, You add 77 + 263, which is 340. Now divide this by 1,723 to get 19.73 percent. This is the share of voice for McDonald’s.
(positive mentions × 5) + (neutral mentions × 3) + (negative sentiment × 1) total company mentions
Sentiment Formula:
Use a 5-point scale with positive = 5, neutral = 3, and negative = 1. For each type of mention, multiply by the scale number and divide by the total number of mentions. So for McDonald’s, the calculation would be (77 x 5) + (263 × 3) + (13 × 1) / 353 = 3.36.
Share of Voice: 19.73% Sentiment: 3.36
