How is social media ROI measured in Singapore in 2026? Brands measure social media ROI in Singapore against business outcomes — awareness, consideration, leads or revenue. The dashboard combines saves and shares, engagement rate by reach, click-through to site, on-site conversion, paid social ROAS, and AI Share-of-Voice across major AI engines. Follower count and likes alone are weak proxies for ROI.

The KPIs to discount

AI Share-of-Voice — the new metric

AI Share-of-Voice is the percentage of category-relevant prompts that surface or recommend your brand across major AI engines. It is the AI-era equivalent of branded search share. It is also a leading indicator of generative engine traffic. AI Studio's clients see this metric in their monthly dashboard, alongside traditional engagement and conversion metrics.

Here is why this matters. When a Singapore consumer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for a recommendation in your category, the answer either includes your brand or it does not. Tracking this is the modern equivalent of tracking organic search rank.
