You’ll be able to choose which brand domains you want to be compared with across all networks. impact.com reports on all brand domains by crawling partner sites to see the landing brand domain since this is all publicly available information. A higher Share of Voice (SOV) % means that you have more authority within your business niche.

**SOV calculations:** You can calculate your SOV % by dividing the number of **your** affiliate links (A) by the total number of **all** domain’s affiliate links (A+B+C+D+E+F) and multiplying by 100.
