Improve your performance with social score

Your social score is a snapshot of how you're performing on social compared to other businesses. We look at your followers, posting frequency, engagement, clicks, audience activity, and more, to see how you stack up against other top performers. We also give you personalized recommendations to help you improve and strengthen your social media presence. Over time, these recommendations get better as we learn more about you, your industry, and your audience.

Understand your scores and how you are doing

For your score, we add your followers, posting, and engagement scores together. The highest possible score is 100. Your scores all update daily.

We take into consideration all connected social accounts when we generate your score. We currently measure Instagram business profiles, Facebook Pages, LinkedIn Pages, and Twitter accounts. We plan to expand these based on feedback from customers like you.

A high social score is anywhere between 81 and 100. Having a high score means you’re on track with other top-performing businesses.

A low social score is anywhere between 0 and 40, while an average score is between 41 and 80. Having a low or average score means there’s room for growth. Check out the personalized recommendations to level up on social and increase your score.
