How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.
| Compared with | Launches | Median views | This one | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product release the same kind of announcement | 954 | 692K | 1.2x | 419 |
| over 100K followers accounts of a similar size | 611 | 1.4M | 0.6x | 392 |
| Every launch all of them, for scale | 1981 | 688K | 1.2x | 865 |
What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 9.1M followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. The median for over 100K followers is 2.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.
It ranks 392 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 1.2 times the median of 688K views.
The response was thin for the reach: 86 bookmarks, 109 replies, 15 quotes and 71 reposts against 649 likes. Views arrived from people outside the audience the product is for, and they kept scrolling. One bookmark for every 7.5 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The first line is “Linear triggers are now available on”. It carries a 10-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory. The copy runs 25 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it. It went out on a Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 721K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Why posts from large accounts under-reach covers this: a post seen by fewer people than follow the account was held back by the ranking model.
For the next one, read virality without conversion: reach that outruns response is the pattern this guide is about. X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
