Formula Used

1) Engagement Rate (%) = ((Likes + Comments + Shares + Saves) ÷ Impressions) × 100

2) CTR (%) = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100

3) Save Rate (%) = (Saves ÷ Impressions) × 100

4) Share Rate (%) = (Shares ÷ Impressions) × 100

5) Conversion Rate (%) = (Conversions ÷ Clicks) × 100

6) Negative Feedback Rate (%) = (Negative Feedback ÷ Impressions) × 100

7) Component Score = min(100, (Actual Metric ÷ Target Metric) × 100)

8) Weighted Positive Score = Σ(Component Score × Weight) ÷ Σ(Weights)

9) Penalty = min(25, (Negative Feedback Rate ÷ Maximum Allowed Negative Feedback Rate) × 25)

10) Final Content Quality Score = clamp(Weighted Positive Score − Penalty, 0, 100)

This method balances interaction, retention, sentiment, and business outcomes while reducing the score when audience rejection becomes too high.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does this score measure?

It measures how well a post performs across interaction quality, retention, sentiment, and conversion efficiency. It also subtracts points when negative feedback rises beyond your tolerance level.

2. Why are benchmark targets required?

Targets turn raw metrics into comparable scores. A 2% click rate may be excellent on one platform and weak on another, so benchmarks keep scoring fair.

3. How should I choose the weights?

Use weights to match campaign intent. Awareness campaigns may emphasize completion and shares, while lead generation campaigns often give more weight to clicks and conversions.

4. Can I use this for video and non-video posts?

Yes. Completion rate is especially meaningful for video, but you can also treat it as content consumption depth for carousels, articles, or story sequences.

5. Why is negative feedback a penalty?

A post can attract clicks and still damage audience fit. Hides, unfollows, or negative reactions suggest content friction, so the penalty protects against misleadingly high scores.

6. What is a good content quality score?

Scores above 85 are excellent, 70 to 84 are strong, 55 to 69 are average, 40 to 54 need improvement, and lower scores are weak.

7. Does the score replace manual content review?

No. It supports decision-making, but creative quality, brand fit, compliance, and audience context still require human review before you scale a format.

8. What should I do after finding a weak score?

Inspect the lowest component scores first. Then improve the hook, clarity, value density, targeting, or call to action before testing the next creative variation.
