ER Trend vs Benchmark

Key Findings

70%+ static flyers — seminar posters belong on the website, not the feed.

Zero UGC pipeline — 20K+ runners, none curated or reshared.

No visual identity — grid is a collision of sponsor colours.

Countdown Reels work — "100 Days To Go" hit 100K views, 1.63% ER.

Comments avg 0–5/post — nobody is talking.

Collab posts extend reach — partner audiences deliver incremental impressions.

ER Trend vs Benchmark

Key Findings

Largest audience, lowest ER — 137K followers, 0.04%. Most wasted channel.

Zero native video — FB Reels/video get 2–3x organic reach of static.

Wrong page category — "Local business" harms discoverability.

CTA is "Contact us" — should be "Register Now" during entry window.

88% recommendation rate from 1,161 reviews is genuine social proof.
