    SOV

    Share of Voice

    How loud you are vs competitors.

    In plain English

    Your brand's share of total market conversation — across search rankings, social mentions, PR coverage, and (now) AI citations.

    Why it matters now

    SOV is a leading indicator of market share. In a new region, growing SOV precedes revenue by 6–18 months.

    How it shows up in practice

    1. 01

      Track SOV across search, social, AI separately.

    2. 02

      Compare vs a defined competitive set, not the whole internet.

    3. 03

      Include local-language tracking in each target market.

    From vocabulary to strategy

    Need SOV to actually move pipeline in a new market?

    We advise technology companies on applying these ideas to cross-border go-to-market — especially between China and Europe.
