- Implement filters to exclude spam, bot-generated content, and irrelevant mentions from SoV datasets.
- Define time intervals for SoV reporting—real-time, daily, weekly—based on campaign cycles and stakeholder needs.
- Integrate Boolean search logic into monitoring tools to improve data accuracy and reduce noise.
Module 2: Competitive Benchmarking and Market Positioning
