Engagement Rateএনগেজমেন্ট রেট
Engagement rate is the fraction of an audience that interacted with a piece of content through likes, comments, shares, saves or click-throughs, usually expressed as engagements ÷ reach × 100. It is the dominant proxy for organic content health on Facebook and Instagram, and should be kept separate from paid CTR and conversion rate.
What is Engagement Rate?
In practice
Engagement rate is the dominant proxy metric on Bangladeshi Facebook and Instagram for organic content health. Healthy benchmarks: 2–5% on Facebook, 3–6% on Instagram for branded posts in the BD market; influencer rates run higher (5–12%). The trap is using ER alone to evaluate paid creative — paid CTAs depress ER mechanically while driving the actual KPI. Public Pulse separates organic ER (community signal) from paid CTR / conversion rate (commercial signal) in every monthly report.

CTR (Click-Through Rate)
Click-through rate (CTR) is the fraction of ad impressions that became clicks, calculated as clicks ÷ impressions × 100. Benchmarks vary by placement: a 1% CTR on Meta feed is industry average, while the same figure on a search ad is poor. CTR works as a creative-quality signal, but downstream conversion rate is the goal.

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)
ROAS, or Return on Ad Spend, is the revenue generated for every BDT spent on advertising; a ROAS of 4× means BDT 4 of revenue per BDT 1 of ad spend. It is the headline metric for e-commerce paid media, but in isolation it can mislead, so it should be read alongside the new-versus-returning customer split.
