How to read these numbers

These benchmarks come from real public Instagram profiles categorized as public figures with 10k–50k followers. Engagement rate = (average likes + average comments) ÷ followers, from each account's recent posts — the same formula our free checker uses.

  • Below 0.61% — bottom quartile: your content isn't reaching or resonating; fix hooks and posting consistency first.
  • 0.61%–4.55% — the normal band for this niche and size.
  • Above 4.55% — top quartile: this is the zone brands look for when picking public figures to work with.
