Why Benchmarks Matter
Likes, views, and followers are isolated numbers. They tell you nothing on their own. You need one number with a fixed scale and a clear baseline. That is what the IMPRS score gives you. It runs from 350 to 900, like a credit score. And it is validated against revenue, not against vanity metrics.
How the Score Works
Your score is built from 117 signals across 5 platforms: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and X. The metrics roll up into five pillars: Impact, Momentum, Presence, Reach, and Sentiment. Each pillar measures one part of your marketing health. The weighted result is a single number from 350 to 900. You get a fresh audit every week. Your first audit lands minutes after you connect a platform.
What the Validation Study Shows
We do not ask you to trust the score. We test it, against what happened next. The July 2026 V32 retrospective study covered 122 companies and 551 observations across 673 pipeline runs. The size of a score move tracked the size of the next-year revenue move at a rank correlation of +0.395, and +0.563 for consumer brands. Ranking companies by score matched their next-year revenue growth ordering 56.5% of the time overall, rising to 86.6% when the score clearly separated two companies. Random ordering gets 50%.
What Score Should You Target?
There is no single magic number. Direction beats level. Watch your weekly audits and aim for steady gains. Start with your weakest pillar. Small pillar gains compound into score gains. Use your first audit as the baseline. Then judge every content decision against the trend.
