Social listening tools can help you identify what different audience groups say about a topic. However, as those tools rely on absolute frequencies, there will be a lot of commonalities within their conversations.

Using comparative text analysis to pull out the differences between data sets, Relative Insight allows you to see the words and topics that are unique to each data set.
