SEI’s database currently covers approximately 90% of programs in the market, including “mainstream programs” and programs selected by clients for monitoring. It does not include long-tail programs that have low popularity, low traffic, or no brand sponsorship. The selection of “mainstream programs” considers multiple sources of information, such as discussion popularity on social platforms, promotion by platform operators, and program sponsorships.
It includes programs with high discussion levels on social platforms, programs featured on major TV channels, and mainstream video platforms (iQiyi, Youku, Tencent, Mango), as well as variety shows, documentaries, animations, popular sports, and esports events. It also includes programs from new media platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou. The list of monitored programs is continuously updated as popular programs and shows emerge, and clients who purchase monitoring services have priority in adding programs to the monitoring list.
