The best approach to auditing your Instagram engagement rate begins with looking at your average engagement (likes, comments, and shares per post) relative to your follower count over recent months. To accurately judge if your rate is healthy, you need context that goes beyond internal stats. That’s where benchmarking comes in, and a tool like Socialinsider excels here.
With Socialinsider, you can directly compare your engagement rate trends against both your closest competitors and your own past performance to track real progress or spot dips that might need attention. If you want a bird’s-eye view of how your stats compare at the platform level, the
Socialinsider Instagram Benchmark Study provides up-to-date engagement data you can use for a quick dose of reality, helping you understand what’s typical on Instagram right now.
If you want an even sharper industry lens, the
Socialinsider Global Brand Benchmark Directory drills down into engagement benchmarks by industry or region. This way, you see not only how you’re doing globally, but also how you stack up next to brands facing similar challenges and targeting similar audiences. Bringing these perspectives together makes it crystal clear whether your engagement rate is lagging, leading, or right on track for your niche, helping you double down on what’s working and address issues swiftly.
