What is Brand Health?
Brand health is the overall perception and evaluation of a brand by consumers, stakeholders, and the general public. It’s a measure of how well a brand is performing in the market and how favorably it is viewed.
A strong brand can do much more than simply sell products or services. It can:
- Increase brand loyalty: Customers are more likely to stick with a brand they trust and admire.
- Command premium pricing: Strong brands can charge a premium for their products or services.
- Attract top talent: Top talent is attracted to companies with strong brands.
- Weather economic downturns: Strong brands are better equipped to weather economic storms.
- Enhance reputation: A strong brand can enhance a company’s reputation and make it more attractive to investors and partners.
Why Monitoring Brand Health is Important
Your brand’s perception is a key factor in determining its success. How the public views your company can make or break your business. Monitoring brand health is like a checkup for your business, ensuring you’re in top shape and ready to face any challenges.
By understanding how people talk about your brand online, you can:
-
- Identify potential crises early on and take steps to mitigate damage.

How Our Brand Health Indicator Works
BHI is an index that measures brand health by evaluating how it is mentioned across different online sources like social media, blogs, websites and forums.The methodology categorizes mentions into three sentiment types: positive, neutral, and negative. These data points are then used to calculate a score that reflects the overall market perception of the brand.
How We Calculate the Brand Health Indicator (BHI)
1. Positive and neutral mentions are summed.
2. This total is then divided by the total number of mentions including negative ones to get a percentage.
3. This percentage is multiplied by 10 to generate a score ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents extremely negative perception and 10 represents extremely positive perception.
For example: if a brand has 305 total mentions with 208 being positive or neutral the calculation would be 208 divided by 305 resulting in approximately 0.682. Multiplying this by 10 gives a BHI of 6.8.
This score indicates a positive brand image within the analyzed context. This methodology provides companies with a clearer and more objective view of brand perception helping to identify areas needing improvement.
The Benefits of Real-Time Sentiment Monitoring
Our methodology offers several features that help companies effectively manage BH. A key feature is real-time sentiment monitoring. This allows you to track brand mentions across various platforms categorizing them in real-time enabling instant assessment of brand health and quick identification of changes in consumer sentiment.
Another important feature is crisis detection and prediction. By analyzing trends in negative mentions, the BHI can predict potential image crises before they escalate, allowing companies to mitigate negative impacts.
Using Comparative Brand Health Analysis for Better Marketing Strategies
The BHI also enables comparative assessment over time or between different campaigns and events. This analysis helps understand which marketing actions impact brand perception most aiding in the optimization of future strategies.
Additionally by analyzing neutral and negative mentions brand health indicator helps identify specific areas where the brand can improve its image. Negative feedback can be transformed into valuable insights for adjustments in products, services or public communication.
Customizable Reports and Visualizations: Making Sense of Brand Health Data
Finally the BHI generates detailed reports and visual graphics that provide clear interpretations of brand health data. These visualizations can be customized to meet the company’s needs facilitating internal communication and data-driven decision-making.
