Share of Voice (SoV) Dashboard

Learn everything about the Share of Voice dashboard and how to use it for your brand.

Written by Evangelia

Share of Voice (SoV) is a key metric that helps you understand your brand’s visibility compared to your competitors. It shows the percentage of mentions your brand receives out of the total mentions within your industry or niche.

In simple terms, SoV represents your share of audience attention. In Mentionlytics, you have your Share of Voice automatically calculated in the corresponding dashboard.

You may access the Share of Voice dashboard through the left-side menu, located under Dashboards. If you can't see it, click on the three dots (next to the date filter), and you'll find it under the Advanced section.
