Frequently asked questions

What is Share of Voice (SoV)?
Share of Voice (SoV) is a metric that shows how much a brand is mentioned in comparison to its competitors across a defined set of content, usually social media posts, reviews, or online mentions. It's typically expressed as a percentage.
How is Share of Voice calculated?
SoV =
(Number of Brand Mentions) / (Total Mentions of All Brands) x 100
For example, if Dior was mentioned in 300 out of 1,000 posts where Dior and Valentino appear, Dior has a 30% Share of Voice.
Why does Share of Voice matter for brands?
SoV helps brands:
- Measure brand visibility vs. competitors
- Understand audience attention and buzz
- Benchmark performance across campaigns or events
- Track growth or decline in brand conversations over time
Can I break down Share of Voice by platform or location?
Yes. The calculator can show platform-specific SoV (e.g., Instagram vs Threads) or geo-specific analysis (if your data includes locations). This is useful for analyzing performance during events like Paris Fashion Week across social platforms.
How often should I track Share of Voice?
You can track it:
- Monthly or weekly for consistent monitoring
- In real-time during campaigns or events
- After product launches or PR spikes
