FAQs
How fresh are the audience and engagement metrics in this Top-20 list?
Metrics reflect rolling last-30-days activity: views, ER% and cadence refresh in seconds when you paste a profile. Numbers are normalized across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for fair comparisons and include fraud-filtered audience signals and reachability checks.
Can I export these Top-20 profiles and contact details during the trial?
Yes. During the 7-day trial you can export the Top-20 profiles and available outreach fields (email/WhatsApp/phone/etc.) as CSV, PDF or JSON after signing in. Exports and live Google Sheet media plans become accessible once you shortlist and save creators in the platform.
How often do profile stats refresh when I paste a creator into IQFluence?
Profiles pasted into IQFluence pull the latest rolling 30-day metrics instantly - stats refresh in seconds so you see current ER%, views and posting cadence normalized across platforms.
Can I compare video essay creators side-by-side across platforms?
Yes. Our grid shows Instagram, YouTube and TikTok creator rows side-by-side with normalized ER%, min/avg/max views, posting cadence and audience snapshots. Paste handles and profiles refresh in seconds, so you can verify fit, compare reach and engagement, and export matched contact fields for outreach.
How does IQFluence normalize ER and views across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok?
We convert raw likes, comments and view counts into comparable metrics by using last-30-day averages and cadence context - ER% is likes+comments relative to followers over the L30D; views are shown as min/avg/max from recent-post distributions. All numbers are normalized across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for fair cross-platform comparison.
Can I build a media plan CSV or Google Sheet from the Top-20 list?
Yes. Shortlist the Top-20, save them in-platform, then export a share-ready Google Sheet or a CSV from the Media Plan Builder. Exports include apples-to-apples rows (followers, L30D ER%, min/avg/max views, cadence, audience buckets and outreach fields) once you sign in during the trial.
