Think of the current digital market as an echo chamber where every brand tries to tell its story, hoping to be heard. But only a few manage to break through. 

The first step to standing out from the crowd is to know where you stand.

Forbes reports that 57% of companies prioritize gaining a competitive advantage among peers. Yet, many marketers struggle to capture a clear, accurate picture of their market standing.

One key metric marketers rely on to gauge the efficacy of their efforts is Share of Voice (SoV). The higher your SOV, the more people are talking about you. SOV holds significant value in SEO as it represents how a website performs on SERPs.

What is SEO Share of Voice?

The Share of Voice for SEO refers to the percentage of all online content and conversations about a particular topic, keyword, or industry that your brand or website possesses compared to your competitors. It essentially measures how visible your brand is in Search Engine Results Pages(SERPs) relative to others within your niche.

For a long time, experts have relied on the Share of Voice for SEO to gauge the market presence of a brand in search engine performance. However, experts have realized that SEO Share of Voice is a half-baked metric, and calculating it is a lengthy, labor-intensive process without desired outcomes. 

Let us try to understand it with an example below,

The Accurate SEO Share of Voice Dilemma

You are an SEO trying to find the SoV for SEO of your brand with a traditional tool like Ahrefs or SEMrush. When you dive into GSC data, you realize there are 3 million queries, and you are now needed to define some head terms or broad keywords for those queries. Why? 

-Because the tool that you are using shows a generalized view of keywords and is not specific to every query in your GSC data.

-And, there’s no way to add all the keywords because it is dictated by the subscription plan you are on. 

The main problem with that is that the traffic that you are gaining comes from a combination of some broad-level, some torso terms and long-tail keywords. Tracking only some of them does not give you the entire picture.

Once you find these values, you then attempt to replicate this entire process for your competitors, only to discover at the end that you’ve missed some emerging players.

But the problems don't end there. Critical aspects like traffic's geographic origin, the devices driving it, or the distinction between branded and non-branded opportunities are either underrepresented or ignored entirely.

This got you thinking that SoV measurement is nothing but an educated guess of half-baked information. You can't help but wonder how misleading these values might be and how much vital information has slipped through the cracks. Dig deeper into the challenges of SEO Share of Voice with this blog.
