    Sentiment, Shopping & Diagnostics

    This covers how Profound generates sentiment data, how to distinguish perception problems from reality problems, what the merchant layer in AI shopping reveals, and how to trace the root cause when visibility drops.

    How does Profound generate sentiment data about your brand?

    If you have any doubts, please go back and rewatch Lesson 15: Reading Your AI Search Sentiment.

    A negative sentiment theme, 'steep learning curve,' keeps growing in your data. You click into the theme and trace it to a single outdated review article. What type of problem is this, and what's the likely fix?

    If you have any doubts, please go back and rewatch Lesson 15: Reading Your AI Search Sentiment.

    In AI shopping results, a brand's products show up in over half of all responses (rank 1 for visibility). But a single retailer captures four times the brand's own checkout share. What does this reveal?

    If you have any doubts, please go back and rewatch Lesson 16: Tracking Your Products in AI Shopping.

    Your strongest topic drops 6.7% in visibility. You check global citation data and find you're rank 1 with growing citation share. Where should you look next to find the root cause?

    If you have any doubts, please go back and rewatch Lesson 17: Diagnosing a Visibility Drop.
