Analyze metrics like Engagement Rate, Likes, Comments, and Shares to assess how well your content resonates with your audience.

Focus on Follower Growth Rate and Profile Views to evaluate how efficiently you’re attracting new followers and increasing your brand’s visibility. Benchmarking these metrics allows you to identify trends in audience growth and understand how your strategies compare to industry standards. If your follower growth rate is lower than benchmarks, you might need to enhance your content strategy or promotional efforts.
Consider metrics like Reach and Impressions to understand the scope and impact of your content. Benchmarking these metrics helps you gauge whether you’re effectively reaching your target audience. If your reach is below industry benchmarks, it may indicate a need to improve your content’s shareability or optimize your use of Instagram’s features like Stories and Reels
Databox enables you two ways of benchmarking: one by benchmarking your Instagram metrics within our dashboards, and the second by using the Benchmark Explorer where you can save your favorite benchmarks. Always have a quick overview or select specific metrics to compare in reports.
Reach indicates how widely your content is being viewed. Benchmarking this metric helps you understand your content's visibility compared to industry standards. If your Reach is below benchmarks, consider optimizing your posting times, using relevant hashtags, and enhancing your content to increase visibility.
Interactions reflect the level of engagement your audience has with your content. Benchmarking Interactions helps you assess how compelling your posts are compared to others in your industry. If your Interactions are lower than benchmarks, you may need to refine your content strategy to encourage more engagement.
The New Followers metric shows how effectively you're attracting new audience members. Benchmarking this metric allows you to evaluate the success of your growth strategies. If your New Followers count is below industry benchmarks, consider implementing campaigns to increase visibility or improving content to appeal to a broader audience.
