What is Facebook Engagement Rate?

Facebook Engagement Rate is a metric that measures the level of interaction your content receives on the platform. It takes into account likes, comments, and shares relative to your total number of followers. This rate helps you understand how well your content resonates with your audience and how effectively it encourages interaction. A higher engagement rate generally indicates that your content is more appealing and relevant to your followers.
