Sentiment Analysis: Decode What People Feel—and Act on It
Sentiment Analysis lets you move beyond “what was said” to “how people felt” and why. With NLP and machine learning, you’ll classify text by polarity, intensity, and emotion to guide smarter marketing, product, and support decisions.
What Sentiment Analysis Does
- Polarity: positive / negative / neutral
- Intensity: strength of feeling
- Emotion type: joy, anger, sadness, frustration, trust
Where to Gather the Right Data
- Social platforms: posts, comments, mentions for social listening
- Reviews: app/store reviews to surface strengths and friction points
- Support logs: chats, emails, call transcripts to locate recurring pain
- Surveys: open-ended answers to explain satisfaction scores
High-Impact Use Cases
Reputation & Crisis Detection
Use sentiment spikes as early-warning signals. Advanced models also catch sarcasm that keyword lists miss.
Product & CX Improvements
Cluster negative reviews by topic (battery, shipping, UX) to set development priorities. Route high-negativity tickets to senior agents.
Emotion-Driven Marketing & Content
Track sentiment before/during/after campaigns. If reactions are neutral while your goal is excitement, iterate the message fast. Benchmark competitor sentiment: if price drives negativity there, double-down on value and quality positioning.
Common Challenges—and Fixes
- Sarcasm & humor: use domain-tuned deep learning models.
- Dialect & multilingual text: choose tools trained on your audience’s languages and context, not keywords alone.
- Messy data: clean typos, symbols, and duplicates before modeling.
