What is Social Media Health Score?
A social media health check evaluates your presence across posting consistency, engagement rate, audience growth, content mix, and community management.
The Formula
Score = (ฮฃ Category Scores รท Number of Categories) ร 100
Worked Example
A brand: consistency 7/10, engagement 5/10, growth 6/10, content mix 6/10, community 4/10.
- Total = 7 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 4 = 28
- Maximum = 50
- Score = (28 รท 50) ร 100 = 56%
๐ Social health is 56% โ consistent posting but engagement, community management, and content variety need work.
