The Significance Of Share-Of-Voice On Your Instagram Page
Understanding the importance of increase Share-Of-Voice in order to give your brand the recognition it needs.

Gaining a voice on platforms like Instagram is not really all about how many monthly Instagram likes you may have, or how many times you post. It is about how your audience talks about your brand, how your product or your service is perceived.
If we look at the bigger picture, it does not matter how much you post, if the audience does not talk about your brand then it will never be seen by them.
In this post, we are going to talk about brand visibility, and how it should be worked on through your social media strategies.
Brand visibility is a measure of how often a brand or product appears in the media or in other advertising materials. The more visible a company's brand, the more likely they are to attract new customers and keep existing ones.
Brand visibility can be determined by calculating the number of times a brand is mentioned in the media. One way to calculate this number is by determining the amount of times a brand name appears in other Instagram users' search history, or how many times they re-share from you or recommend their own followers to use your brand’s product or service.
Traditional ways of calculating digital visibility of your brand is through search engines, news searches, and online articles. Another way to calculate this number is by determining how often brands associated with a certain industry appear in top-ranked web pages.
