Frequently asked questions

What is a good Facebook engagement rate?+

It varies by page size and niche, with smaller pages often seeing higher rates. Instead of chasing a universal number, track your own rate over time and work to improve it.

Why does engagement rate matter?+

Because Facebook's feed rewards interaction, and sponsors value engaged audiences. A strong engagement rate drives more reach and better brand deals than raw follower count alone.

How do I improve it?+

Post content that sparks emotion or opinion, ask easy questions, favour native video, and reply to early comments. Interaction begets more interaction.
