FAQs
What does the R-Index indicate?
The R-Index measures a company’s visibility across social media and media outlets, as well as the level of trust people have in the brand. It shows the correlation between these metrics, providing insights into the brand's reputation.
To calculate it, we assess the overall reach, the coverage of positive news, and the results of sociological surveys regarding brand/company recognition and trust.
How do we calculate the R-Index?
The reputation index for each metric is calculated based on how close a company is to a virtual reputation maximum.
Step 1: For each metric, we determine the maximum value, establishing a virtual reputation maximum (an ideal company that doesn’t exist).
Step 2: For each company, we assess its distance from the maximum for each metric using the formula (1−company value/maximum)2 and add these values.
Step 3: We calculate the overall proximity by taking the square root of the sum obtained in Step 2 and rank the companies (with rank 1 assigned to the company with the smallest distance).
What are the advantages of the R-Index?
Accessibility: The reputation index is available to any company.
Integration: The results of the company's media activity research are combined with findings from sociological surveys.
Comparability: Digital values can be compared across competitors or within an entire industry.
