A typical post picks up 28 interactions against 260K followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Measured over 75 original posts, its engagement rate beats 24% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 12K times each, and 0.239% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.51% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 75 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 41% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 387 interactions, about 14x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Action Network's engagement rate beats 24% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 14% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.011%, Action Network sits above the 10th percentile of the 205,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,261 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,894 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video91% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link41% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 91% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 41% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 348 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    ๐Ÿˆ SMU vs FSU CFB Week 1 Best Bet ๐Ÿด SMU -2.5 ๐Ÿ‘‡ Add Directly To Your Betslip https://t.co/6tdUUlW3F7 ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ "SMU falls into a trend that has served investors well for a decade. Over the past 10 years, teams in Week 1 playing their first game of the season have covered the spread at a 58% clip against teams that played in Week 0. There are other areas where SMU has the advantage, first with Jennings and a collection of targets against a Florida State defense that allowed explosives to New Mexico State. Starting defensive backs Ashlynd Barker, Ja'Bril Rawls and CJ Richard Jr. all allowed a 20-yard explosive to the Aggies' passing game. With poor tackling, explosive plays allowed and minimal havoc, there is reason to believe SMU will create quality drives. The Mustangs should produce a much more aggressive pass rush than the Aggies, who get into double-digit pressures against Daniels." @Collin1

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 28 interactions against 260K followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Measured over 75 original posts, its engagement rate beats 24% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 12K times each, and 0.239% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.51% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 75 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 41% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 387 interactions, about 14x its own typical post.

What is Action Network's engagement rate on X?
Action Network (@ActionNetworkHQ) has an engagement rate of 0.011%, based on the median interactions across 75 original posts from the last 30 days against 259,897 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.011%, Action Network sits above the 10th percentile of the 205,261 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @ActionNetworkHQ have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 24% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @ActionNetworkHQ post?
Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.93 posts per day across the measured window.
