Does BigSentiment schedule social media posts?
No. BigSentiment focuses on sentiment analysis and reporting. Teams that need scheduling should use a social media management platform alongside it.
Social Media Monitoring with Sentiment Analysis
Social media monitoring with AI sentiment analysis for brand, PR, and reputation teams. Track tone, themes, urgency, and reports.
Monitor social conversation for more than mention volume. BigSentiment scores social media tone, themes, urgency, and reputation impact, then summarizes the findings in reports.
What is social media monitoring with sentiment analysis?
Social media monitoring tracks brand mentions and conversations across social channels. Adding sentiment analysis helps teams understand whether those mentions are positive, neutral, negative, mixed, or urgent.
BigSentiment focuses on interpretation and reporting. It is not a social scheduling tool or engagement inbox. It helps teams understand what social conversation means for brand perception, reputation, PR, and customer experience.
Who needs social sentiment monitoring
- Social media teams - Need to understand tone and themes behind social volume
- PR teams - Need to see whether public narratives are spreading or shifting
- Reputation teams - Need alerts when negative clusters start to form
- Executives - Need a readable summary of social sentiment without raw feeds
How BigSentiment handles social signals
- Configure social terms - Set brand names, products, executives, campaign terms, hashtags, competitors, and issue keywords.
- Collect social context - Analyze relevant social posts, Reddit threads, forum conversations, and public discussion.
- Score sentiment and urgency - Mentions are classified by tone, theme, urgency, source, and confidence.
- Separate from direct feedback - Social commentary is reported separately from customer reviews, surveys, and support feedback.
- Summarize in reports - Reports show trend movement, themes, examples, source caveats, and recommended responses.
Social monitoring sources
Social sentiment reporting can include Twitter/X, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn mentions, forums, public communities, and other configured public sources where relevant and available.
Reports include coverage notes so teams understand which channels were represented and which sources may be sparse.
Decisions social sentiment monitoring supports

Why BigSentiment is different
- Sentiment over volume - Reports focus on tone and themes, not just counts
- Executive summaries - Findings are translated into readable reports
- Reputation focus - Urgency and risk are part of the analysis
- Clear boundaries - BigSentiment complements, rather than replaces, publishing and engagement tools
