Three steps, zero learning curve

- 01
How do you measure engagement?
Enter a handle and we pull the creator's live follower count and most recent public posts straight from the source.
- 02
What formula do we use?
We average (likes + comments + shares + saves) ÷ followers across recent posts — and use views for YouTube, the metric that actually reflects reach.
- 03
How do you know if it's good?
We grade the result against real per-platform benchmarks so you instantly know if a creator over- or under-performs.
