Impressions-based engagement benchmarks (2026)

- Great — top 10% of personal profiles≥ 5%
- Good — above average for B2B creators≥ 3%
- Average — sustainable but not exceptional≥ 1.5%
- Below average — content needs work≥ 0.5%
- Poor — algorithm may be throttling reach≥ 0%
Which formula should I use?
Impressions-based — (Engagements ÷ Impressions) × 100. The more honest measure of content quality because it normalizes for reach. Use this if you have access to impressions in LinkedIn Analytics or a creator dashboard.
Follower-based — (Engagements ÷ Followers) × 100. The fallback when impressions aren't available. Tends to look better than reality because not all followers actually see your post — LinkedIn typically shows posts to a small fraction of followers initially, then expands distribution based on early engagement.
