To obtain these results, Coin Kickoff stated that they created a seedlist of the 19 most popular metaverse platforms using manual research and the following sites to analyze interest in metaverse sentiment around the world. 

“Next, using the DataForSEO tool, Coin Kickoff obtained the number of search volumes for all 19 metaverses and the term “metaverse” itself in every country and U.S. state. Finally, they calculated the cumulative number of searches in each location per 1,000 people in the population to gauge interest online for the metaverses,” they shared. 

Moreover, they shared that the team also collected 1,662,990 tweets containing keywords such as: “metaverse is,” “metaverse are,” “the metaverse,” “metaverses is,” “metaverses are,” “the metaverses” and calculated the percentage of positive and negative tweets in every country using the HuggingFace AI sentiment tool, with a benchmark of countries with at least 500 tweets. The data was collected in September 2022

Aside from the Philippines topping with the most tweets, the countries with the most search volume for the metaverse are Grenada, Peru, Lithuania, Estonia, Barbados, Brunei, Latvia, Georgia, and Uruguay respectively.
