Influencer Campaign Measurement: What to Track

Likes and impressions are vanity metrics. This guide covers the real numbers that tell you whether an influencer campaign worked — and how to track them.

Engagement metrics

Track likes, comments, saves, shares per post. Calculate engagement rate. Compare to creator's typical baseline — a campaign should match or beat their average.

Traffic metrics

Use unique UTM-tagged links per creator. Measure clicks to your site, time on site, pages viewed, bounce rate.

Conversion metrics

Unique promo codes per creator. Track conversion rate, average order value, and total revenue attributed to each creator.

Audience growth

Did your follower count grow during the campaign? How many of those new followers came from the creator's audience?

Cost per acquired customer

Total cost (fee + product + management) divided by new customers acquired. Compare across creators and campaigns.

Tools to help
