Customer Engagement Rate

What Is Customer Engagement Rate?

It measures the level of interaction and activity customers have with your brand across various channels.

Analyzing engagement helps you prioritize resources, tailor content, and optimize marketing efforts.

How To Calculate Customer Engagement Rate?

The formula varies depending on the specific engagement metric you're tracking:

Social media: (No. of Likes + Shares + Comments) / (no. of  Followers) x 100%

Email marketing: (Open Rate + Click-Through Rate) / (No. of Sent Emails) x 100%

Website: (Unique Visitors + Page Views) / (# Total Sessions) x 100%

Support interactions: (No. of  Resolved Tickets + Positive Feedback) / (No. of Total Interactions) x 100%

An Example Of Customer Engagement Rate

A company website receives 1,000 visits in a month, with 200 unique visitors and 500 page views.

Website Engagement Rate = (200 + 500) / 1000 x 100% = 70%
