Know when the conversation shifts.

    Handshake tracks sentiment across your brand, your category, and your competitors — and alerts you when the narrative changes so you can respond early.

    The problem

    Sentiment shifts before revenue does.

    By the time you see it in your analytics, the conversation has already moved on.

    You find out about brand crises too late — after refunds spike, press picks it up, or churn accelerates.

    Sentiment shifts before revenue does. By the time your dashboard shows a dip, the damage is already done.

    What it monitors

    Three lenses on your market.

    Brand Sentiment

    Track how people talk about your brand across Reddit, Facebook Groups, forums, and review sites. Spot praise, complaints, and emerging narratives in real time.
