Earned vs owned reach
Of the 2.5k total reach today, 77% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 23% is independent voices. The organic conversation is small relative to brand broadcasting — every headline metric above is the earned 23%.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Eleven | 271 | 1.9k | 88% |
| Circle K | 312 | 0 | 0% |
Earned = organic / independent voices — this drives Share of Voice, sentiment and everything above. Owned = the brands' own official accounts, i.e. what they broadcast. A high owned share means the day's buzz is largely brand-driven, not organic.

Act on this
A customer reported fresh milk tasting sour before its printed expiry date; initial refusal to exchange nearly pushed her toward switching brands before a manager intervened. This is a recurring service friction point around fresh dairy.
▸ Facebook comment thread shows customer had to advocate for herself before getting a swap approved.
