Reputation & Trust
What people are saying about you, before it costs you a customer
For med spas, home services firms, dental practices and solo legal offices that need to hear the conversation about their name, their category and their competitors while they can still act on it.
Every engagement is directed by a technical specialist and reviewed before delivery.
What this is
The Social Listening Briefing is a standing read on what people say about your business, your category and your competitors across public social platforms, review sites, forums and local conversation, delivered as a short briefing you can act on. A specialist sets the topics, the competitor set and the questions worth watching, then each cycle produces a clear write-up: what moved in sentiment, which themes and complaints are surfacing, where trends are heading, and your share of the conversation against your named rivals. It is not a firehose dashboard you have to babysit. It is a filtered, interpreted read with a short list of recommended actions on top. It only ever tracks public conversation from real people, never fake or botted activity, and every briefing is reviewed by a specialist before delivery. The outcome is early warning, sharper positioning, and a Reputation and Sentiment signal you can watch moving inside your Machine-Readiness Score.
The problem
Why this matters now
Most owners find out what people really think of them by accident. A staff member mentions a comment thread, a bad review shows up weeks after the visit that caused it, a competitor quietly wins the customers who were on the fence. The conversation about your business is happening in public, all the time, and you are usually the last one reading it.
The stakes on that conversation have climbed. In Emplifi research published June 2026, 86 percent of consumers said they are more likely to buy from a brand that responds quickly on social, up from 58 percent the year before, and Sprout Social's 2026 data found roughly 73 percent of social users will simply buy from a competitor when a brand does not respond. Nothing can be responded to that you never saw.
There is also a positioning question hiding in the noise. Share of voice, your slice of the total conversation in your category, is one of the better early signals of where a market is heading. A business quietly losing its share of the local conversation is often losing its share of the calls a few months later, and neither shows up in a rankings report.
The problem is rarely a lack of data. It is the opposite. Monitoring tools produce a flood of mentions with no judgment attached, and no busy owner has time to read a live dashboard every day, separate the signal from the spam, or turn a sentiment chart into a decision. What is missing is someone to read it and tell you what to do.
How it works
The mechanism, made checkable
- 01
We define what is worth listening to
A specialist works out the queries that actually matter: your business name and its common misspellings, key people, service terms, location language, and the named competitors you measure yourself against. Spam, bots and irrelevant chatter are tuned out so the read is about real people and real intent, not volume for its own sake. That query set becomes the backbone of every briefing.
- 02
We track the conversation across the surfaces that count
Public conversation is watched where your buyers actually talk: the major social platforms, review sites, community forums, question threads and local groups relevant to your category. Everything monitored is public activity from genuine accounts. The picture is never inflated with fake or botted mentions, and manufactured activity is never presented as real sentiment.
- 03
We read sentiment and surface the themes
Raw mentions are useless without meaning, so a specialist reads what is coming in and pulls out the themes: what people praise, what they complain about, the objections that keep repeating, the questions your category is asking this month. The result is the story behind the sentiment line, not just a number that went up or down.
- 04
We measure share of voice against your named rivals
Your share of the category conversation is calculated against the specific competitors named, showing whether you are gaining or losing ground in the discussion. Share of voice is reported with its method shown and its limits stated, because it is a directional signal, never a promise about revenue.
- 05
We turn the read into a briefing you can act on
Each cycle produces a written briefing, not a dashboard login: what changed, what it means, the two or three things worth doing about it, and anything that needs a fast human response before it grows. It is short on purpose. The work of filtering and interpreting is done in advance, so the briefing is a decision aid, not more homework.
- 06
We tie the movement to your Machine-Readiness Score
The sentiment and share-of-voice read feeds the Reputation and Sentiment pillar of your Machine-Readiness Score, so the conversation is not a one-off snapshot but a signal you can watch moving over time. The movement is reported with context and variance, never a naked metric and never a guaranteed outcome.

What you get
What you get, and how it is priced
The briefing runs at two levels: a one-time setup where a specialist builds and tunes what is being listened to, and a standing subscription that delivers the interpreted briefing on an agreed cadence. Below is what each part covers, how the read is produced, and what lands in your inbox.
| Setup. The specialist build: your query set, competitor list, the surfaces to monitor, spam and bot filtering, and your first baseline read of sentiment and share of voice. You finish setup with a tuned listening system and a clear starting position inside your Machine-Readiness Score. | Quoted |
| Standing briefing. The interpreted briefing on your agreed cadence: sentiment and theme read, share of voice against your named rivals, a trend note, a prioritized action list, and fast-flag alerting between cycles. Month to month, no lock-in, cancellable in the same steps it took to start. | Quoted |
| Briefing plus competitive deep read. Everything in the standing briefing, plus a deeper periodic read on named competitors: their share-of-voice trend, the themes driving their sentiment, and where the gaps and openings sit for you. Scoped for businesses in a crowded or fast-moving local market. | Quoted |
You see the full deliverables and cadence first, then a price built for your business, confirmed in writing.
Straight answers
Questions about Social Listening Briefing
How is this different from the Review and Reputation Engine?
They are close cousins that do different jobs. The Review and Reputation Engine grows and answers reviews from your real customers on your own profiles. The Social Listening Briefing looks outward at the whole public conversation, on social, forums, review sites and local threads, about your business, your category and your competitors, and explains what it means. One earns and manages your reputation. The other listens to the market around you. Many businesses run both, and both feed the same Reputation and Sentiment pillar of your Machine-Readiness Score.
Is this just a monitoring dashboard I have to check myself?
No, and that is the point. Dashboards hand you a flood of mentions and leave the reading to you. Here a specialist tunes what is listened to, reads the sentiment and themes, calculates share of voice, and writes a short briefing with the actions that matter. What arrives is an interpreted read on a cadence, not another login to babysit. The work of filtering signal from noise is done in advance.
Do you count fake mentions or botted activity to make the numbers look bigger?
Never. We track public conversation from genuine accounts only, and spam and bot activity are filtered out on purpose because they corrupt the read. Mentions are never manufactured, share of voice is never inflated, and fake activity is never presented as real sentiment. A briefing is only useful if the picture reflects real people.
Is any of this written by a machine and passed off as analysis?
No. Proprietary technology gathers and organizes the conversation faster and more precisely than manual searching could, but a specialist reads the results, decides what matters, and writes the briefing. Every engagement is directed by a specialist and reviewed before delivery. What arrives is human judgment, not churned-out filler dressed up as insight.
You bill in USD. Are you overseas?
Raveneye Global operates as RavenGroup Global Tech Private Limited, and everything is billed in USD with no surprise currency conversion. Listening work is not tied to geography, it reads public conversation about your business wherever it happens. The work is directed by a specialist and reviewed before it reaches you, and we state plainly who stands behind it.
How do you measure share of voice, and can I trust the number?
Share of voice is your slice of the total conversation across the competitor set named. It is calculated against those specific rivals, the method is shown, and it is reported as a directional signal with variance, never as a promise about sales. It is a strong early indicator of where a category is heading, but it is not a revenue guarantee, and it is never presented as one.
How often do I get a briefing, and what if something urgent comes up in between?
The cadence is set in scoping to fit how much conversation your category produces, weekly or monthly for most local businesses. Between scheduled briefings, anything that needs a human response before it grows is fast-flagged, so a spike in negative sentiment or a spreading complaint does not wait for the next cycle. The response decision stays with you. Being seen in time is what we guarantee.
What do you guarantee?
That the briefing is real. No positive sentiment, share-of-voice number or business result is ever guaranteed, because how a public conversation moves is not within any firm's control. The commitment is a real, specialist-read briefing built on genuine public activity, delivered on cadence, with the movement reported in context and tied to your Machine-Readiness Score.
