A good engagement rate depends on both country and audience size. Smaller accounts usually see higher rates than large creators. Use these expected benchmarks to see whether an Instagram profile performs above or below similar accounts in the same market.

Expected rates are calculated from Avalan's machine learning models trained on real Instagram account data across supported countries.

How it works

The engagement rate compares total interactions to follower size:

Engagement Rate =
  (Avg. Likes + Avg. Comments) ÷ Followers × 100

We analyze recent posts to calculate average likes and comments, then compare the result against accounts of a similar size to give you a quality rating.

Why engagement rate matters

Follower count alone doesn't tell the full story. Some influencers inflate their numbers with fake followers. Checking engagement helps you avoid wasted budget and find authentic creators who deliver real results.

  • Identify genuine influence vs. inflated follower counts
  • Compare creators fairly regardless of audience size
  • Make data-driven decisions for influencer partnerships
