What is Engagement Rate?
Engagement rate measures how actively your audience interacts with your content. It's calculated as the total engagement (likes, comments, shares, saves) divided by your followers or reach, multiplied by 100. A high engagement rate indicates that your content resonates with your audience and the platform algorithm is likely to show it to more people.
