What the result means

Reach rate shows the percentage of followers or audience size touched by your content. Higher reach with strong engagement means the content is distributing effectively.

Reach Rate = Reach ÷ Followers × 100. Frequency = Impressions ÷ Reach. Engagement per Reach = Engagements ÷ Reach × 100.

A low reach rate can indicate weak distribution, poor timing, or content that does not trigger enough interaction.

Example calculation

With 60,000 followers, 28,000 reach, 76,000 impressions, and 1,900 engagements, reach rate is 46.67% and frequency is 2.71.

Tips for better results

  • Increase shareable hooks to expand viral reach.
  • Compare reach against followers to spot distribution changes.
  • Use native video and timely topics.
  • Improve posting timing based on past reach.
  • Separate paid reach from organic reach where possible.
