Methodology:

Each day consumers are asked about their views on brands across various markets, which allows YouGov to build a picture of how these brands are perceived by the general public.

The rankings are based on YouGov BrandIndex’s positive Recommend score, which measures the percentage of a brand’s customers who would recommend it to a friend or colleague.

Every brand in our Rankings has a minimum sample of *300 and has been tracked for at least 6 months, with all scores being rounded to a single decimal place.

The Rankings data can be further developed with YouGov Recommend+, a fresh approach to understanding consumer advocacy. YouGov Recommend+ is a highly cost-effective NPS® diagnostics approach that gives marketers the full picture on what drives existing and potential promoters by speaking directly to those customers who recommend your brand.

The rankings show the brands with the highest average Recommend score between 1 June 2021 - 31 May 2022 compared to 1 June 2020 - 31 May 2021. The scores are representative of the general population of adults 18+ (some are online representative).
