Top Conversations By Sentiment

The Top Conversations By Sentiment report acts as your "Top 10" list. It details the most positive and most negative conversations based on sentiment rating. This report can be scoped by date range and account.

Top Conversations By Sentiment Uses

Agencies will be able to see what types of posts lead to either positive or negative sentiment. Communications teams can look back to see what types of content are connecting with their followers, as well as areas where improvements can be made. Results can be viewed on a month-by-month basis and can be shared with senior personnel, showing the impact of social media on the agency. Instead of presenting raw data and numbers to leadership, this report allows agencies to share actual posts to tell a story.
