How the follower ratio works
The follower-to-following ratio compares your audience with the list of accounts you follow. The maths is the same as on Instagram; the culture differs: established X accounts often follow few accounts, so their ratios climb into the hundreds.
The formula, with an example
Ratio = Followers / Following
Example: 12,000 followers and 600 following give a ratio of 20.
Ratio benchmarks by account stage
| Ratio | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Under 0.5 | You follow far more accounts than follow you |
| 0.5 to 1 | Normal for a new account still finding its people |
| 1 to 2 | Balanced; normal for personal accounts and local businesses |
| 2 to 10 | People clearly follow you for your content |
| Over 10 | The pattern of an established creator or brand |
