LinkedIn is a professional networking site, everybody knows that!
The importance of involvement in digital marketing initiatives is self-evident. Why is it vital to have a high engagement rate? Because it reveals how well people respond to your LinkedIn material. The rate at which people engage with your material is a good sign of whether they find it fascinating, resonant, and worthwhile to interact with.
Users are more engaged during business hours, according to research. As a result, you must determine when your target audience is available. And make use of it when it’s time to post!
Like we said before, LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals. As a result, it’s no surprise that the following are the best times to post:
- Tuesday and Thursday from 9am – 12pm;
- Wednesday from 9am – 2pm;
While Monday marks the beginning of the work week, it isn’t the best day for publishing. Friday is also a little slower. Sunday is the worst day of the week for LinkedIn posts, so don’t post anything on that day.
What is the formula for calculating the LinkedIn engagement rate? Marketers and organizations can calculate the LinkedIn engagement rate in a variety of ways.
Digital marketing buzzwords
Let’s take a look at some of the most regularly used digital marketing buzzwords before diving into the numerous approaches to calculate LinkedIn engagement rate.

Engagement rate
Now, let’s talk about the numerous sorts of assessment methodologies for LinkedIn engagement rate, as well as their benefits and drawbacks, now that you have a fundamental understanding of these often used social media marketing phrases.
1) Engagement Rate = Total Engagements/Followers
Followers are people who may be directly exposed to your content. This form of calculation determines how engaged each follower is.
2) Engagement Rate = Total Engagements/Reaches
The amount of people who are exposed to your content is referred to as “reaches.” This method of calculation assesses engagement on a per-person basis.
3) Engagement Rate = Total Engagements/Impressions
The amount of times your material is viewed/displayed is referred to as impressions. This kind of measurement assesses engagement on a per-view/per-display basis.
