Sentiment Score

The sentiment score runs from -100 to 100. Zero is neutral, 100 is positive, and -100 is negative. Higher is better.

Sentiment score = mean(sentiment per mention), where each mention is scored -100 to 100 by our model (0 = neutral, 100 = positive, -100 = negative)

How it's calculated

We use our own model to sense how positively or negatively AI talks about your brand in each mention. We then average those scores across all mentions to produce your sentiment score. The scale runs from -100 (negative) to 100 (positive), with 0 as neutral. Higher is better.

How it works

When AI cites or mentions your brand, we analyze the context:

  • Positive: Favorable comparisons, recommendations, praise
  • Neutral: Factual mentions, lists, comparisons
  • Negative: Criticism, unfavorable comparisons, warnings

The sentiment score aggregates this into a -100 to 100 scale (0 = neutral, higher is better).

Why it matters

AI doesn't just recommend relevant brands. It recommends brands it perceives as trustworthy. Reputation works as a direct signal for AI. If AI describes you negatively or neutrally compared to competitors, that affects whether you get recommended.
