Summary
Engagement rate by reach measures interactions against the number of people who actually saw the post, not the total follower count. This gives a more accurate picture of content resonance because it accounts for algorithm-driven distribution. The formula is: (total interactions / reach) × 100. This metric is widely used by media buyers and agencies evaluating influencer campaigns.
