Essential Metrics for Selecting Instagram Influencers

Maximize your influencer marketing ROI by analyzing these data-driven metrics:

• Engagement Rate (2-8% is ideal): Calculate by (Likes + Comments) / Followers × 100. Higher rates mean active, interested audiences.
• Audience Demographics: Verify age (18-34 is most engaged), location, gender, and interests match your target customer profile.
• Content Quality & Consistency: Review last 30 posts for brand alignment, posting frequency (3-7x/week optimal), and visual aesthetics.
• Authenticity Score: Check for fake followers using UpGrow's verification - authentic influencers have 85%+ real followers.
• Average Views & Reach: Stories views should be 5-10% of followers; Reels should get 2-5x follower count in views.
