📊 Calculate engagement
Frequently Asked Questions
A good X engagement rate is typically above 1%. Rates over 3% are considered excellent. However, engagement rates vary by follower count and content type. Quality engagement (replies, retweets, likes) matters more than pure volume.
Engagement rates fluctuate based on post timing, content relevance, follower activity, and overall engagement on X at that moment. Posting when your audience is most active, during trending topics, or with engaging content increases rates.
Post consistently at optimal times, ask questions to encourage replies, use relevant hashtags, engage with others' content, and create valuable or entertaining posts. Replies get higher engagement than likes, so focus on sparking conversation.
Engagement includes likes, retweets, and replies. Some tools also count bookmarks and quote posts. Impressions (post views) are separate from engagement. The engagement rate is calculated as total engagement divided by impressions, multiplied by 100.
Retweets are more valuable than likes as they amplify your reach. Replies are even more valuable as they indicate genuine conversation and help X's algorithm prioritize your content. Balance all engagement types for optimal growth.
Track engagement daily to identify patterns, but analyze trends weekly or monthly for a better picture. This helps you understand what content resonates and when your audience is most active.
