How is engagement rate calculated?

Engagement rate = (Likes + Comments + Shares) / Followers × 100. This gives you the percentage of your audience that actively interacts with your content.

What is a good engagement rate?

A good engagement rate varies by platform: 1-3% is average, 3-5% is good, and above 5% is excellent for most social media platforms.

Should I calculate engagement per post or overall?

Both are useful. Per-post engagement helps you identify your best content. Overall engagement helps you benchmark your account performance.
