How to check influencer engagement rate

To determine an influencer's engagement rate, take the median number of engagements (likes + comments etc.)across all the influencer's posts on a particular profile, divide by the total number of followers, then multiply by 100.

Using this formula, you'll be able to view the total overall engagements for an influencer's profile.

Modash uses the last two months of content to calculate engagement rate.

Check engagement rates by content format

When reviewing an influencer’s profile, it’s helpful to know what kind of content is driving the engagementrate.

On YouTube, is it Shorts or long-form videos? On Instagram, is it Posts or Reels?
