What is Net Sentiment?

Net sentiment shows the balance between positive and negative mentions and helps you track how the tone around what you monitor changes over time.

⚠️ Net sentiment has been temporarily removed from the new Analytics and will return. You can still see this metric in a shared analysis. In the new Analytics, you’ll find the distribution of positive, neutral, and negative mentions under Overall sentiment.

How is net sentiment calculated?

Net sentiment is the percentage of positive mentions minus the percentage of negative mentions.

For example, if 75% of mentions are positive, 11% neutral, and 14% negative, your net sentiment is +61% (75 − 14 = 61).

A value above zero means there are more positive than negative mentions. A value below zero means the opposite.
