2. Verizon Current Sentiment Index
The Buzzient Brand Sentiment Index measures how Social Media Participants feel about
your brand. It tells you how positively or negatively your brand is perceived by online
users.
The Sentiment Index (at the brand or product level) is an aggregated rating. Buzzient
Enterprise generates the index by analyzing and rating each individual post about you.
The analysis leverages positive/negative keyword modifiers that are specific to you and
incorporates metrics regarding importance of the particular author and source.
The index ranges from +150 (extremely positive opinion) to -150 (extremely negative
opinion). A value of 0 expresses neutral sentiment. Positive values of 25 or above are
typically very good.
Verizon's Sentiment Index of 2.09 indicates a mildly positive attitude towards Verizon.
The current sentiment index reflects how social media users feel about your brand now.
Use this in conjunction with Sentiment Index Trends (in a later section) to determine if
opinion about you is rising, falling or remaining consistent. These insights will help you
craft strategy and tactics to maintain or increase social media opinion about you.

3. Sentiment Index Trends
When monitored over time, Brand Sentiment Index trend lines show changes in attitudes
and opinions toward you and your competitors. User sentiment toward brands can
sometimes fluctuate greatly over time.
The ability to track trends provides you with historical visibility into how marketing
programs or other events have impacted opinion toward you and the competition at
various points in time. You can learn how past activities affected sentiment and use that
knowledge to construct the most effective current and future strategy and tactics.
