Frequently asked questions
How is cost per engagement calculated?
Fee divided by expected engagements. Dividing by engagements from your actual market gives the figure that matters, which is usually much higher.
What engagement rate is good?
It falls as follower count rises. Micro creators commonly see 3% to 8%; accounts above a million often sit below 1%. Comparing across tiers without adjusting for that is meaningless.
How do I check audience relevance?
Ask for audience insights showing country, age and gender splits. A creator unwilling to share them is telling you something.
Is engagement the right metric at all?
It is a proxy. Cost per acquisition from tracked codes is better where volume allows it; engagement is what you have to work with when planning a campaign that has not run yet.
