What is Sentiment Analysis?

Keyhole’s Sentiment Analysis feature helps you track how people feel about your campaigns in real time. Each post is automatically categorized as Positive, Negative, or Neutral so you can quickly spot trends, respond to issues, and fine-tune your messaging on the fly.

Use Sentiment Analysis to:

  • Understand the tone of individual posts.

  • Detect trends in how people feel over time.

  • Respond quickly to negative mentions.

  • Refine your campaigns with data-backed decisions.


How to Use Sentiment Analysis

Keyhole’s Sentiment Analysis categorizes each post as Positive, Negative, or Neutral. The sentiment score represents the percentage of positive posts out of the total positive and negative posts (neutral posts are excluded).

1. Go to Listening & Campaigns and select the tracker you want to analyze.

2. View the Sentiment circle graph on the Dashboard, or click Sentiment in the sidebar for detailed insights.

3. In the circle graph, view sentiment distribution:

  • Blue = % Neutral posts

  • Green = % Positive posts

  • Orange = % Negative posts

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Sentiment analysis is limited to English and may not detect certain nuances, names, sarcasm, or inappropriate language.
