What is Share of Voice (SOV)?

SOV = your brand’s measure ÷ the total for the whole market × 100. The “measure” depends on the channel: ad spend or impressions for advertising, mentions for social media and PR, or clicks and rankings for search.

Brands track SOV because, over time, a share of voice above your market share is associated with growing share, and one below it with losing share.

Examples

  • Your brand gets 300 of 1,200 social mentions in your category: 25% SOV
  • You hold 15% of all paid-search impressions for your main keywords
  • Your share of trade-press coverage in a quarter versus three rivals
