Share of Voice in Account-Based Marketing
DIRECT ANSWER
Share of Voice (SOV) is the percentage of total category advertising or content impressions that a brand owns relative to all competitors in the category. It is calculated as a brand's impressions (or spend, or mentions) divided by the total impressions across all category competitors. Higher SOV is consistently associated with sustained or growing market share. In Account-Based Marketing specifically, this means Build and maintain a tiered target account list (Tier 1/2/3) using ICP scoring against CRM and third-party data and Monitor target account engagement signals: ad impressions, website visits, content downloads, intent spikes — all of which Hadrian's ABM Agent executes autonomously on your live data.
What share of voice means in Account-Based Marketing
Paid SOV is measured by comparing your ad impressions or spend against total category spend — tools like Google Ads' Impression Share report provide this directly for search. Organic SOV tracks the share of non-branded keyword rankings your domain holds versus competitors. Social SOV measures branded mention volume relative to competitor mention volume.
