Sentiment scoring

Sentiment scoring classifies each LLM mention of your brand as positive, neutral, or negative to track reputation inside generated answers.
  • Volume without tone is misleading—pair with Share of Voice.

  • Use it to catch backlashes before they show up in classic social metrics.

Definition

Sentiment scoring in Getllmspy classifies how a model talks about your brand inside a specific answer: positive (endorsement, recommendation), neutral (factual listing), or negative (risk, criticism, warning). It is scoped to the mention context, not global brand NPS. Two answers can differ sharply if one is a buyer guide and the other is a troubleshooting thread.

How it's computed

Each answer in a run is segmented around your brand string and competitor co-mentions. Classifiers map language cues to labels, then results roll up per model and per prompt pack. Fanout queries reveal whether sentiment flips when the prompt angle changes.

How to read it

Watch deltas week over week. A rising negative share with flat mentions is an early warning—often tied to news, reviews, or a factual error you should fix with grounded content and citations.

Sentiment scoring vs LLM-Score

LLM-Score folds sentiment with presence and correctness. Sentiment alone can look good if you are rarely mentioned—always read the trio together.

When to use

  • PR and comms war rooms during incidents.
  • Product launches where early reviews skew models.
  • Executive reporting when you need plain-language tone trends.
