The document introduces the Semantic Engagement Index (SEI), a new metric that measures word-of-mouth and social conversations. The SEI captures digital conversations across social media, transcripts, call centers, and more. It is based on language and context rather than likes or sentiment. The SEI has been academically validated and can create predictive marketing models. It has been shown to strongly link specific conversations to sales, with correlation rates over 80%. The SEI outperforms other sentiment metrics in directly linking conversations to brand sales.
