A brand voice score is a number that shows how well a text matches your voice rules. It works if the score has clear questions behind it.

A simple score is 0 to 6. Five or six means publish. Four means a small edit. Three or lower means rewrite the weak lines and score again.

Why score your voice at all.

"It does not sound like us" is hard to act on. A number is easy to talk about.

Reason 1

Teams agree faster

Two people can both say 4 of 6 and look at the same two failed lines.

Reason 2

Fixes get specific

The score points to the question that failed, not to a mood.

Reason 3

You see drift

If scores fall over a month, the voice rules need work, or people need the link.

How to read a 0 to 6 score.

Use the same scorecard every time, or the numbers mean nothing.

Three traps when you score.

A score can fool you. Watch for these.

  • Scoring yourself. You hear what you meant. Ask someone else for big pieces.
  • Changing the questions. Fix them for a month, then review.
  • Chasing 6 on everything. Some texts, like a legal notice, need a calmer voice. Use judgment.

A score does not replace a person. It helps one person see faster. For the full review before you post, use the pre publish brand review checklist.

Scores for a whole team.

Scoring by hand works for one writer. For a team, the check should happen where the writing happens.

In a Brand OS Portal, Voice Check checks words against your brand voice, next to Social Studio and the other tools your team uses daily. People see what to fix before the post goes out.

That is how a team stops waiting for one person to approve every line. A designer or brand strategist is still right for new voice rules and a new identity. The portal handles the daily work after.
