Follower count is a vanity metric. Here's what actually indicates growth.
Metrics That Matter
Engagement rate: (likes + comments + shares) / followers. Industry average: 1-3%. Below 1% = your content isn't resonating.
Save rate: Saves / impressions. Saves indicate genuine value — people want to come back to your content.
Click-through rate: Clicks / impressions. The true test of whether your content drives action.
Metrics to Ignore
Total follower count (meaningless without engagement). Impressions alone (being seen ≠ being engaged with). Likes (weakest engagement signal).
