TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brand Cloud Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuto Kano), a company engaged in general brand consulting, has disclosed that negative business information is searched for about 4.4 times more than positive information.
A statistical analysis*1 performed on reputational damage countermeasures implemented by Brand Cloud revealed that negative information is searched for about 4.4 times more than positive information. On the other hand, with the number of social media users worldwide expected to increase from 4.59 billion in 2022 to 6.03 billion in 2028*2, and backgrounded on social digitalization, the influence of individuals' communications on the Internet has been increasing every year. Accordingly, they believe that opportunities to encounter excessive "flaming" such as malicious internet postings, slander, and boycott movements as reputational damages on social networking services and news media will also increase.
According to the psychological phenomenon of "negativity bias," people tend to react more strongly and deeply to negative information and events than to positive ones. Such information draws your attention, and increases the likelihood of long-term retention.
According to the results of Brand Cloud's current analysis, the click rates of keywords associated by companies with risk was markedly higher than for positive keywords.
Businesses who implemented reputational damage countermeasures using Brand Cloud's "Reputational Damage Cloud" slander countermeasure service showed an average decrease of over 87% for search keywords and negative information that fan rumors on search engines, and achieved risk amelioration of over 94%. As a result, they have succeeded in accurately delivering "desirable" neutral and positive information to customers.
