Why Traditional Sentiment Tools Miss the Mark
Altmetric’s Strengths and Blind Spots
Altmetric brings robust AI to sentiment analysis on social media. It moves beyond simple mention counts. It flags positive, neutral or negative reactions using a score range from –3 (strongly negative) to +3 (strongly positive). You get charts, filters and indicators alongside each mention. Perfect for research institutions that need deep dives.
But here’s the catch for small businesses:
– High price points. Enterprise budgets only.
– Steep learning curves. You need a specialist.
– Limited to scholarly outputs. Not built for local shops or cafes.
– Narrow focus on social chatter. Lacks broader AI visibility insights.
The Small Business Crunch
You don’t have a research department. You have a coffee shop, a local clinic or a boutique design studio. You want to see how AI assistants and chatbots talk about you. You need:
– Simple dashboards.
– Quick alerts.
– A budget under four figures per year.
Many tools just miss this sweet spot. They force you into modules you’ll never use. Or they charge for every extra seat. Your time and money deserve better.
