Why the median?

One viral post should not distort your benchmark.

Posts are grouped by audience size. For each range, MagicPost calculates low, median, high and top 10% reach.

The median represents the middle post: half perform better and half perform worse. One viral outlier barely moves it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

LinkedIn impressions, in practice.

How many impressions does a LinkedIn post get?

In July 2026, the median LinkedIn post received 561 impressions across 24,420 public posts analyzed by MagicPost. Reach varies widely with audience size: the table above gives low, median, high and top 10% reach for each follower bracket.

What is a good number of impressions on LinkedIn?

Above the median for your follower bracket already beats half of comparable posts, and the top 10% column marks an excellent post. Judge your reach against your bracket, not against viral outliers.

Why use the median instead of the average?

One viral post can multiply an average and make it useless as a reference. The median is the middle post: half perform better and half perform worse, so it stays representative month after month.
