Question 1

What is pre-creative testing?

Accepted Answer

Pre-creative testing scores an ad or social post before you publish or spend on media. Viral Sense uses an ML-primary engine to predict performance against 2025-26 platform benchmarks across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook, then returns a score, platform fit and specific fixes.

Question 2

How does Viral Sense score creative?

Accepted Answer

Viral Sense extracts visual and structural features from your creative with a vision model, then a calibrated gradient-boosted model (GBRT) predicts performance against industry and platform benchmarks. The output is a 0-100 score, dimension breakdown, platform fit and a per-platform playbook.

Question 3

Which platforms are supported?

Accepted Answer

Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook, with format-aware benchmarks for Reels, Shorts, carousels, static posts and video ads.

Question 4

How fast are pre-creative testing results?

Accepted Answer

A Viral Sense score returns in seconds for static and short-form creative. Full pre-test pilots with audience emotion analytics return within 24 hours.
