Competitor Tracking

Track brand and competitor mentions in real time.

The calculator gives you a one-time snapshot. In EmbedSocial, you add your brand and competitors as hashtags, mentions, or keywords, and new posts are collected automatically, so your share of voice stays current. Tracking types vary by network. See how competitor tracking works.

  • Hashtags: campaign reach, UGC volume, and share of voice
  • Mentions: sentiment, complaints, praise, and unprompted comparisons
  • Keywords: category-level trends, not just brand-level

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.
Can I calculate share of voice without an EmbedSocial account?
Yes. Choose Enter mentions, type the number of mentions for your brand and each competitor, and the calculator shows every brand's share. For a full report with charts, sentiment, and keywords, upload a CSV export from EmbedSocial.
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
How do I get the data to calculate Share of Voice?
The best way is to use EmbedSocial as your social listening tool. With EmbedSocial, you can:
- Collect posts from Instagram, Threads, YouTube, etc. via mentions, hashtags, or handles
- Export this content into a CSV or JSON
- Upload the data into the SoV calculator

To get started, use the sample data or start a free trial for EmbedSocial to start generating your own data that will precisely track and calculate the SoV for your brand.

As a sample use case, try uploading posts from Paris Fashion Week that mention fashion brands. The tool will calculate and visualize how brands like Dior, Valentino, and Chanel performed on Instagram and Threads in terms of Share of Voice during the event.

The tool can also evaluate the brand sentiment of each mention (positive, neutral, or negative), giving deeper insights, not just how often you're mentioned, but how people feel about the brand.
What other metrics should I track alongside Share of Voice?
While Share of Voice measures your overall volume of conversation, you should also evaluate post engagement rates using our Instagram engagement rate calculator to understand which specific posts resonate most strongly with your audience.
