Shift Feed Strategy Toward Carousels
The current engagement rate of 0.08% is drastically below the 2.5-5% benchmark for micro-tier accounts, and the Posts ER (0.09%) already edges out the Reels ER (0.08%), suggesting static and carousel content resonates slightly more with the existing audience.

Industry benchmarks show carousels average 0.55% ER versus 0.52% for Reels — prioritize publishing carousel posts that invite swipe-through behavior, such as step-by-step guides or multi-image storytelling, to maximize saves and shares. Aim to make at least 50% of the next 10 posts carousels and track whether median likes (currently at a critical low) begin to recover.
