FAQs

How often do influencer stats and audience snapshots update?

Profiles and audience snapshots refresh on a rolling last-30-days window. Paste a profile and its stats refresh in seconds. Core metrics update continuously across that 30-day slice for fair, near-real-time comparisons.

Can I export these AI‑vetted influencer lists and audience reports?

Yes. After signing in you can export AI‑vetted lists and audience analyses. Outputs include PDF and JSON for individual influencer profiles, CSV for saved lists, Google Sheets for Media Plan Builder, plus CSV/Excel for campaign monitoring. API access is available for automated pulls.

Can I compare Instagram, YouTube and TikTok creators side-by-side?

Yes. We standardize Instagram, YouTube and TikTok metrics so you can view creators in one apples-to-apples grid. ER%, views and posting cadence are normalized. Paste a profile and cross-platform stats refresh in seconds for immediate side-by-side analysis.

How does IQFluence detect fraudulent or inauthentic audience behavior?

We flag inauthentic audiences using multi-signal checks. We analyse engagement patterns, sudden follower spikes, view/like ratios, posting cadence, audience geography and language mismatches, and consistency vs one-offs. Semantic and fraud filters combine to score reachability and likely real viewers.

Can I build a campaign shortlist and export it to Google Sheets?

Yes. Build a shortlist in Discovery, move rows into the Media Plan Builder, then export a live Google Sheet. The sheet contains apples-to-apples creator rows - followers, L30D ER%, min/avg/max views, cadence, audience demographics and outreach fields. Exports require signup.

Do influencer audience locations update in real time across platforms?

Audience locations refresh across a rolling last-30-days window. When you paste a profile, location snapshots update in seconds, and core geo metrics continuously reflect that 30-day slice for fair, near-real-time comparisons.
