What Engagement Rate Should You Require From an Influencer? A Step-by-Step Way to Set Your Own Benchmark

Cross-platform benchmarks don't work—Instagram's median is 0.51% while TikTok's is 9.05%. Learn how to build platform-specific, country-adjusted, category-specific thresholds that actually predict performance.
