FAQs

How often do influencer stats refresh in IQFluence?
Stats refresh on a rolling 30-day window. Paste a profile and key metrics refresh in seconds.
Can I export this Top-20 list to Google Sheets or CSV after signup?
Yes. After signing in you can export saved lists. Favorites export as CSV. The Media Plan Builder creates a live Google Sheet with creator rows. Profile analysis and campaign exports are available too as PDF, CSV, Excel or JSON once you’ve imported and saved the Top-20.
Can I compare Instagram, YouTube and TikTok creators side-by-side?
Yes. We standardize Instagram, YouTube and TikTok metrics - ER%, views, cadence - so creators appear apples-to-apples in one grid. Paste any profile and compare engagement, audience gender/geo/language, reachability and recent performance side-by-side.
How does IQFluence detect fraudulent or inauthentic audience behavior?
We flag inauthentic activity by analysing audience patterns, engagement consistency and content signals. We measure sudden follower jumps, abnormal like-to-comment ratios, repeat commenter networks, unreachable audience segments and low reach estimates. Cross-checks use recent 30-day data, ER trends and semantic audience verification.
Can I build a media plan from these Top-20 creators and export it?
Yes. After you sign in you can save the Top-20 to Favorites, then build a Media Plan with apples-to-apples creator rows. The live Google Sheet is exportable. You can also export Profile Analyses and campaign data as CSV, Excel, PDF or JSON once the list is imported and saved.
How granular are audience location and language filters in Discovery?
Filter by country, region, city and language. Audience breakdown shows top countries and cities, plus language buckets and age/gender slices. Apply location + language together to narrow to specific markets and verify reachability with recent 30-day audience snapshots.
