To regain someone's confidence

Hello everyone,

Does the sentence below sound natural to you?

- How does a brand regain consumer confidence after a crisis?


The sentence above sounds good to me, even though "restore confidence" seems to used more frequently. (according to Google Ngram). So, what do you think? Does "regain + confidence" sound less natural/unnatural?


Thank you.

Gene93 So, what do you think? 'regain' sounds more appropriate in the given context. 'restore' sounds more general to my ear.
