TikTok sentiment analysis shows whether people talk about your brand in a positive, negative, or neutral way, based on video descriptions and comments.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to analyze TikTok sentiment step by step with a real brand example.

Principales conclusiones:

  • Best process for analyzing sentiment on TikTok

    Start by setting up a monitoring project in a tool like Brand24. Filter the data to show TikTok only. Then review the sentiment breakdown, compare different time periods, and analyze high-reach or negative mentions. Finally, use AI tool like Brand Assistant to quickly interpret shifts and prepare actions.

  • Can you do TikTok sentiment analysis manually?

    Only at very small scale. If your brand receives hundreds of mentions per day, manually reviewing every post and comment becomes too time-consuming. You may spot individual complaints, but you won’t reliably detect trends or measure changes over time.

  • Why is TikTok sentiment analysis important for business?

    TikTok plays a big role in how people find and buy products. If negative sentiment starts picking up, it can be an early sign of product problems, campaign backlash, or influencer drama. Keeping an eye on sentiment helps businesses spot issues early and respond before they turn into something bigger.

  • How can AI help in analyzing TikTok sentiment?

    AI-powered tools like AI Brand Assistant can automatically sort through huge numbers of TikTok mentions. Instead of reading them yourself, you can watch sentiment percentages over time, filter the feedback, or ask AI tools what might be causing spikes. They cut down on manual work, help you report faster, and make decisions sooner.

  • Limitations of AI-powered tools in TikTok sentiment analysis

    AI tools can sometimes miss sarcasm, slang, cultural nuances, or what emojis really mean. They also look at written text (like captions and comments), not the spoken audio in videos. So while a few individual mentions might get labeled incorrectly, the bigger-picture trends and percentage changes are still reliable for tracking brand perception.

How to do TikTok sentiment analysis manually?

It may be tempting to do it yourself, but manual TikTok sentiment analysis isn’t recommended.

It’s not only inefficient but also often simply unrealistic to do accurately at scale:

Reason 1. It’s really hard to find every mention by yourself

TikTok notifies you when someone tags your brand, but many discussions happen without hashtags or @mentions, especially in the comments. Also, the products themselves can’t be “officially” tagged.

Reason 2. The volume of data is too high

Imagine revisar cientos o incluso miles de Menciones de TikTokLa mayoría de los informes se elaboran a mano, determinando si son positivos, negativos o neutros.

  

🧠 Something to think about

  

Brands like Gisou are mentioned approximately 100 times daily on TikTok, while larger brands like Nike receive over 1,000 mentions daily.

Even if you spend just 20 seconds per mention, 1,000 mentions = 5.5 hours/day. That’s before taking screenshots, reporting, or acting on what you learn from those insights.   

The only reliable way to determine TikTok sentiment is to use AI-powered tools specifically designed for análisis de opiniones.

How to do TikTok sentiment analysis with AI tools?

You already know performing análisis de opiniones en TikTok requiere la herramienta adecuada.

Here’s how to check TikTok sentiment in Brand24. We’ll use Gisou (a haircare brand) as an example.

Etapa 1: Puesta en marcha del proyecto de seguimiento y recogida de datos

First, create a new monitoring project and add your keyword.

In this case: “Gisou”.

You can also add:

  • Nombres de los productos (like “lip mask” or “hair oil”)
  • Hashtags de la campaña (like #honeypup)
  • Nombres de los competidores (like “Morrocanoil” or “Rituals”)
  • Palabras clave del sector (like “hair care” or “skincare”)

If your brand operates globally, track all languages.

Once you create the project, Brand24 automatically starts collecting mentions.

To focus only on TikTok:

  • 1 Go to the filter panel on the right.
  • 2 Select Source ➡️ TikTok.

That’s it! From now on, you’re looking at TikTok-only data.

You can narrow it further using:

  • Filtro de sentimiento
  • Ubicación
  • Importance score

This already saves hours. Instead of scrolling TikTok manually, you see everything in one place.

Paso 2: Comprobar el desglose de sentimientos

A continuación, compruebe su sentimiento de marca en TikTok. Hay dos maneras de hacerlo:

  1. Utilice la gráfico de sentimiento y comparar manualmente el número de mention negativos frente a los positivos:
  1. Compruebe el desglose de opiniones. Calcula los valores porcentuales de los mention positivos, negativos y neutros. Para obtener una visión más clara, puede excluir los mention neutros:

As you can see in the sentiment breakdown, 96% of Gisou’s mentions are positive, and only 4% are negative.

Step 3: Ask the AI Brand Assistant what’s happening

After checking the sentiment charts, you might still wonder:

  • Why did negative mentions increase?
  • What caused this spike?
  • What changed this week?

Instead of manually going through dozens of mentions, open Asistente de marca.

You can ask or say things like:

  • “Why did negative sentiment increase on TikTok this week?”
  • “What caused the spike on January 12?”
  • “What are the most common complaints on TikTok?”
  • “Summarize current TikTok sentiment.”

Brand Assistant analyzes your mentions and gives you a structured answer based on real data from your project.

This is especially useful when:

  • You need a quick explanation before a meeting.
  • You’re preparing a report.
  • You notice something changed, but don’t yet know why.

Instead of scanning hundreds of comments manually, you get a summary that points you in the right direction.

Paso 4: Compruebe los emojis

TikTok is heavily emoji-driven, so this is surprisingly helpful.

Brand24 extracts emojis from mentions and shows which ones appear most frequently.

In Gisou’s case, the ✨ emoji appears hundreds of times and is typically a sign of admiration or excitement.

If you suddenly start seeing more 🙄, 🤡, or 💀, that usually signals a tonal shift, often sarcastic or negative.

Es not a standalone metric, but it adds context quickly, especially on TikTok, where tone can be subtle.

Step 5: Analyze topics around your brand

Now go to the Análisis temático de la IA ficha.

This section shows what people are actually discussing about your brand.

For Gisou, one of the dominant topics is “beauty morning routines.”

If you wanted to analyze this topic, you’d see that:

  • “Beauty morning routines” generated 257 mentions en TikTok y alcanzó 5.2M people.
  • Su Parte de voz cuentas para 30.98% de todos los debates sobre Gisou en esta plataforma.
  • El desglose por sentimiento muestra que 41% of mentions are positive, 56% are neutraly sólo 2% are negative.

That tells you something actionable: organic recommendations are driving positive sentiment.

If another topic shows rising mentions combined with increasing negative sentiment, that’s usually where you should focus first, whether it’s a product issue, shipping delays, or a controversial video.

Step 6: Monitor sentiment over time

Finally, use the Ficha Comparación to track and analyze how sentiment evolves.

The TikTok sentiment around your brand or product can change in the blink of an eye:

A single influencer video can shift sentiment within hours. Other times, negativity builds slowly across multiple comments and stitches. But both can seriously harm your reputación de marca!

By constantly monitoring sentiment changes on TikTok, you can:

  • Detecte el drama antes de que se convierta en espiral.
  • Responda con prontitud a los mention positivos para construir una comunidad fuerte.
  • Convierta los comentarios de los clientes en información práctica en tiempo real.

Looking at the period-over-period comparison, you can see that Gisou’s positive mentions keep increasing.

PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES

¿Qué es el análisis de sentimientos de TikTok?

El análisis de sentimiento de TikTok determina si los vídeos de TikTok (más concretamente, las descripciones de los vídeos) y los comentarios mentioning de una marca, producto, hashtag o tema específicos son positivo, negativo o neutro.

It uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning to automatically classify text, helping you understand overall brand perception without manually reviewing hundreds of comments.

Important: sentiment analysis works on text (captions and comments), not spoken audio in videos.

¿Por qué es importante el análisis de sentimientos de TikTok?

TikTok users are direct. If something goes wrong, they say it, and often publicly.

Monitoring sentiment helps you:

  • Detect negative trends before they escalate
  • Identificar las reclamaciones recurrentes
  • Medir el impacto de la campaña
  • Respond to positive mentions
  • Understand how your brand compares to competitors

Since TikTok influences product discovery and buying decisions, shifts in sentiment can directly affect sales and reputation.

What are the limitations of TikTok sentiment analysis tools?

TikTok sentiment analysis tools are very powerful, but they’re not 100% perfect.

Like all AI-based text analysis systems, they can sometimes struggle with:

  • Sarcasm and irony
  • Slang and evolving TikTok language
  • Cultural nuances
  • Emoji context
  • Very short or ambiguous comments

For example, a comment like “Well… that’s interesting 💀” sometimes may require human interpretation to fully understand the tone.

However, while individual mentions can occasionally be misclassified, overall trends and percentage shifts remain reliable at scale. That’s why AI sentiment analysis works best when combined with reviewing high-impact mentions manually.

How can you use TikTok sentiment analysis for business decisions?

TikTok sentiment data supports practical business decisions.

Por ejemplo:

  • A spike in negative sentiment may indicate a product issue or a controversial video.
  • A rise in positive mentions after a campaign confirms that messaging is resonating.
  • Topic-level sentiment shows which discussions drive praise or criticism.
  • Period comparisons help evaluate influencer collaborations.

Instead of relying on assumptions, you can base decisions on real conversation data.

How often should you check TikTok sentiment?

For active brands, reviewing sentiment weekly is a minimum.

During product launches, influencer campaigns, or PR-sensitive situations, daily monitoring is recommended.

Alertas en tiempo real help you react quickly when mention volume or sentiment changes unexpectedly.
