FAQs

What is a good engagement rate?

Instagram: 1-5% good, 5%+ excellent. Facebook: 0.5-1% good. LinkedIn: 2-5% good. TikTok: 5-10%+ common. Smaller accounts typically have higher engagement rates than large accounts.

How do I increase engagement?

Post consistently, ask questions, use interactive features (polls, quizzes), respond to comments, post when audience is active, create shareable content, use relevant hashtags, and collaborate with others.

Why is engagement more important than followers?

Engagement indicates real audience interest and drives algorithm visibility. 10K engaged followers are more valuable than 100K unengaged ones. Brands and platforms reward engagement, not vanity metrics.

What counts as engagement?

Platform-dependent: likes, comments, shares, saves, video views (varies by % watched), clicks, reactions. Each platform weights different engagement types differently in their algorithm.
