I often find clients obsess over vanity metrics that don't really matter. Likes and followers seem to take priority over actual engagement. What's been your experience with this?

Yes agree. Engagement rates and conversions should be the focus. I remind clients that these metrics drive actual business results.

I'd say follower count is the most overrated. It doesn't translate to conversions or engagement, so focus on metrics that matter.
