Engagement Quality Score (EQS)
Engagement Quality Score, or EQS, measures how valuable your engagement actually is, because a save is not a like.
Weight each engagement by the intent it signals, then divide by total actions. That is EQS, shown as 0 to 100 percent. It matters because engagement volume says nothing about intent. A save is a plan, a share is a vouch, a like is barely a nod.

EQS is REACTIQ360 proprietary and the quality signal of the Engage phase. Engagement rate treats every action as equal, which is how empty virality gets mistaken for connection. EQS tells you if your work resonates or merely circulates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Engagement Quality Score?
Engagement Quality Score, or EQS, measures how valuable your engagement actually is, because a save is not a like. It grades what the engagement meant, so intent stops hiding behind volume.
How do you calculate Engagement Quality Score?
Use the formula: EQS = Weighted engagement actions ÷ Total engagement actions. Keep both inputs in the same reporting period and avoid mixing users, sessions, events, or customers unless the formula calls for it.
What data do you need for EQS?
You need total engagements and quality- weighted, pulled from the relevant connected sources and computed for the same period.
What mistakes should you avoid with EQS?
Do not compare EQS across wildly different formats without context, and do not optimise for one heavy action by begging for it. Manufactured saves score like real ones but predict nothing.
When should marketers use EQS?
Use EQS when choosing what content to make more of. It rewards the posts that earned saves and shares over the ones that harvested passing likes, which is the difference a content plan should be built on.
What is a good EQS?
EQS displays as 0 to 100 percent. Good is a rising mix of high-intent actions, judged against your own history and format, since a video feed and a newsletter earn different action mixes by nature.
Sources and methodology. EQS formula and definition derive from standard marketing analytics practice and platform reporting conventions. REACTIQ360 harmonises source data from Platform APIs, Content taxonomy, Harmonisation layer and applies a consistent same-period computation methodology.
