About Sentiment (Brand Health)

Sentiment Snapshot

Sentiment is ranked on a proprietary scale, developed by our team of data scientists, from -1 (negative) to +1 (positive). Your brand's sentiment for the past 90 days (or since the date your topic was created) is plotted on the Sentiment Over Time graph using our proprietary scale, with red representing negative sentiment, blue representing neutral, and green representing positive. You can also hover over any date to show that day's exact sentiment score:

In addition, the Top Sentiment Drivers section below the graph displays the posts that have the highest impact on your sentiment score. Select any post to see how many likes and comments it has received; from there, you can also select See Detailed Post Performance to view its dedicated 2-week performance in a new tab.

Comment Monitoring

The Comment Sentiment section breaks down the sentiment of comments on your posts from the last 90 days. Same as above, the sentiment of a comment will be rated as positive (green), neutral (blue), or negative (red) based on our machine-learning model, and plotted in the pie chart accordingly.

Next to it, the Impactful Comments section contains comments on your posts from within the last 7 days that our data model identified as having the greatest impact on your sentiment score:

Benchmarking takes your profile's past performance and uses that data to predict its future performance. In addition, your actual performance (shown in blue) is then benchmarked against this prediction (shown in red):
