Read the number properly
One rate. Three questions that make it useful.
A benchmark tells you where the post landed. The audience, conversation quality, and repeatability tell you whether it mattered.
What did they say?
Comments that reveal pain, timing, or disagreement create better commercial context than applause.
Can you repeat it?
Compare topic, format, hook, and audience across several posts before calling one result a pattern.
Practical public benchmarks
Compare like with like.
These ranges use visible interactions divided by impressions. LinkedIn native analytics may show a higher number because it can also count private clicks and expansions.
