Instagram Completion Rate – What is it?

When it comes to Instagram Stories, you probably don’t always watch to the very end of an account’s stories unless they are flipp’n interesting, right?

For example, I aaaalways skip a few Instagram Stories in particular that I know go on for ages without giving me any value.

If you want to know how effective your content is you really need to have your hands on your completion rates for Instagram Stories so that you can improve your content strategy and keep your audience engaged to the very end.

Unfortunately, not even Instagram tell you what your Instagram Stories completion rate is!

Yep, that’s right.

Soon we’ll be sharing what the average Instagram Stories completion rate is, keep an eye out for that in another blog! That way you’ll have an Instagram Stories completion rate benchmark to work off of.

In Instagram business profile insights the only Instagram Stories analytics that you have access to are:

*Clicks back

*Calls

*Emails

*Exits

*Follows

*Clicks forward

*Get directions button clicks

*Impressions

*Link clicks

*Next story clicks

*Profile visits

*Reach

*Replies

*Shares

*Texts

*Website Clicks

And yeah, that is still a lot of information that you can get out of Instagram insights, but your Instagram Stories completion rate? That is GOLDEN!

You can use your Instagram Stories completion rate to find out whether:

  • Your audience loves a particular influencer
  • Your audience respond well to polls and interactive stories content
