LinkedIn company page metrics

LinkedIn


LinkedIn data is organic. Only the paid followers metric refers to paid data and is displayed only if there’s data for the selected period.


ℹ️ Changes in the Stories section – July 28, 2025

This section has been renamed Newsletters, since the posts shown here are newsletters.


Below, you’ll find all the available metrics for your LinkedIn company page:


COMMUNITY · ACCOUNT · DEMOGRAPHICS · POSTS · NEWSLETTERS



Community


✅ GROWTH


Totals:


  • Followers: Total number of followers on the page during the selected period.
  • Paid followers: Number of followers acquired through paid LinkedIn campaigns (if the value is 0, the metric will not be displayed).
  • Average unique visitors: Daily average of unique users who visited your LinkedIn page within the selected date range.
  • Button clicks: Number of times users clicked the custom button on your LinkedIn page (for example, Visit website, Sign up, or Contact us).
  • Page views: Number of times users visited your organization’s page on LinkedIn, including different available sections (such as home, overview, jobs, etc.). Only page views generated within the selected date range are counted.
  • Total content: Total number of posts and newsletters published during the selected time period.


Growth and Averages:


  • Followers: Net follower growth during the selected period. Calculated as the difference between total followers at the end of the period and total followers the day before the start of the period.
  • Daily followers: Average number of followers per day during the selected period. Calculated by dividing net follower growth by the number of days in the period.

  • Content per day: Average number of content pieces published per day during the selected period. Calculated by dividing the total number of content items by the number of days in the period.


✅ FOLLOWER BALANCE


The follower balance tracks all movements of your followers.

If a follower unfollows and then follows you again on different days, this counts as two followers. Deleted or restricted accounts are also included.


The follower balance is designed to help you see how your community reacts to your posts and which days you gain or lose more followers.


  • New followers: Followers gained and lost during the selected period.

ℹ️ What is engagement?

Engagement measures how users interact with your content in relation to how visible or far-reaching it is.

In Metricool, you can choose between different calculation formulas.


Note: The engagement of competitors is calculated differently from your own account. We recommend adding your own account as a competitor to make the data comparable.
