How to put it into practice

Choose the denominator

Enter the follower or impression count for the same reporting period as the post. Do not substitute reach for impressions without changing the label and explaining the definition.

Enter comparable interaction counts

Add likes, comments and shares using the definitions stated in your report. With 320 likes, 42 comments and 18 shares, the numerator is 380; a 10,000 follower denominator gives 3.80%.

Report the formula beside the rate

The same 380 interactions divided by 20,000 impressions gives 1.90%. Keep the formula and time window next to the result so another person can reproduce the calculation.
