What does "Share of Voice" mean and how is it calculated?
Share of Voice (Voice %) measures brand prominence across AI models.
Formula: Share of Voice = Model Coverage × Quality Score
Where:
• Model Coverage = Sum of normalized weights for models mentioning the brand
• Quality Score = Prominence / Max Prominence in dataset
• Prominence = Mentions × (1 / log₂(Position + 1))
Model weights (based on Monthly Active Users):
• OpenAI ChatGPT Latest: 900M MAU (~54.1% weight)
• Google Gemini Flash (latest): 650M MAU (~39.1% weight)
• Perplexity Sonar (with search) (latest): 45M MAU (~2.7% weight)
• X.AI Grok (latest): 39M MAU (~2.3% weight)
• Anthropic Claude Sonnet (latest): 30M MAU (~1.8% weight)
Brands appearing in top positions across high-traffic models achieve higher Share of Voice.
