## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is a good engagement rate?

It depends on the platform. For Instagram, 1-3% is good, 3%+ is excellent. For TikTok, 6-9% is good, 9%+ is excellent. Twitter averages are lower at 0.2-1%. LinkedIn sits around 1-3%, and YouTube 2-4%.

### How is engagement rate calculated?

The formula is: (Total Engagements ÷ Followers) × 100\. Total engagements include likes, comments, shares, and saves depending on the platform.

### How often should I check my engagement rate?

We recommend weekly checks for quick adjustments and monthly reviews for trend analysis. This helps identify what content resonates and where to adjust strategy.

### Why is my engagement rate declining?

Common causes include algorithm changes, inconsistent posting, content fatigue, growing follower count with inactive users, or not adapting to current platform trends.

### Do all engagement types count equally?

No. Most algorithms weight comments and shares more heavily than likes. Meaningful interactions like detailed comments carry more value than simple reactions.
