Influencers

Prove Your Value

Show brands and sponsors your true engagement rate, not just follower count. High engagement rates command higher rates for partnerships.

Brands

Evaluate Influencer Partners

Before partnering with influencers, calculate their engagement rate to ensure you're getting authentic reach, not inflated follower numbers.

Marketers

Track Content Performance

Monitor how your content strategy is performing over time. Compare engagement rates across different content types and posting schedules.

Agencies

Client Reporting

Include accurate engagement rate calculations in your client reports and social media audits.

Pro Tips

1

Track over time, not just once

Calculate your engagement rate weekly or monthly to spot trends. A single snapshot doesn't tell the full story.

2

Compare within your niche

Engagement rates vary by industry. A 2% rate is excellent for a fashion brand but below average for a personal fitness account.

3

Include saves and shares

Saves and shares are increasingly important signals. Include them in your calculation for a more complete picture of engagement.

4

Focus on engagement per post

Use your average metrics per post, not total metrics. This gives you a more accurate representation of your typical content performance.

Common Issues & Solutions

Engagement rates naturally decrease as follower count grows. Accounts with 1K-10K followers typically have 3-6% rates, while accounts with 100K+ may see 1-3%. Focus on trends, not absolute numbers.

Go to Instagram Insights (business/creator accounts only) and look at the average engagement per post over the last 30 days. Or manually average your last 10-20 posts.
