Classification happens per mention rather than per response, so an answer that recommends you for one use case and warns against you for another produces two classifications rather than one averaged verdict. Every classification links back to the probe and the response text behind it.",{"label":108,"content":109},"Why is a high mention rate with negative sentiment worse than no mentions?","Because the engine is not merely failing to recommend you, it is actively steering buyers away and giving them a reason. That reason is usually specific, repeatable and readable in the responses: price, support, a missing integration, a comparison that lands badly. Absence is a discovery problem you fix with content and authority. Negative framing at volume is a positioning problem, and it will not improve by publishing more.",{"label":111,"content":112},"Why split sentiment by question type?","Because the pattern is where the information is. Positive on brand-direct questions and negative on comparison questions is the signature of a competitor whose framing is winning the head-to-head, which is a different fix from being framed badly everywhere. Aggregating the two produces a middling number that describes neither and points at nothing.",{"label":114,"content":115},"What is the difference between a linked and an unlinked mention?","A linked mention comes with a citation to a URL; an unlinked one is your brand named in the text with no source attached. Unlinked mentions indicate the model holds an opinion about you from its training data. Linked mentions indicate it went and read something. They move for different reasons: unlinked shifts with model refreshes you do not control, linked shifts with content and authority work you do.",{"label":117,"content":118},"Can I prove that improving sentiment increased revenue?","Not causally, and TrustData will not present it that way. Sentiment sits in the leading-indicator regime with citation rate and share of voice, reported with an explicit noise level.

Causal claims are reserved for paid media, audiences and smart links, where geo, time and platform holdout tests can carry them with confidence intervals.",{"title":120,"description":121,"links":122},"See how you are being described","14-day free trial.
