How to Use Follower Insights

Follower Insights shows you exactly who’s paying attention to your account. You’ll get a snapshot of your audience’s location, age, gender, and overall growth—making this page essential for campaign planning, targeting, or sharing results with sponsors and collaborators.

To get started: Go to Profile Analytics, select the account you want to analyze, then click Followers in the left-hand navigation.


Basic Profile Stats

At the top, you’ll find basic stats about the profile you’re monitoring:

  • Total Followers – How many people follow the account

  • Total Following – How many accounts the profile is following

  • Total Posts – The number of posts published by this profile

These give you quick context before you dig into the audience details.


Follower Location

This section includes a heatmap and a ranked list of top countries.

You’ll see:

  • A global heatmap showing where your followers are

  • Toggle between global and U.S. state-level views

  • A country-by-country breakdown with follower counts and percentages

🔍 Key Insights to Look For

  • Top regions: Prioritize high-engagement countries or states for localized content or paid targeting.

  • Unexpected clusters: Identify emerging markets or audiences you didn’t know were paying attention.

  • Audience shifts: Watch for changes after campaigns—did your location mix shift noticeably?


Follower Gender

This section uses a pie chart to show the gender breakdown of your followers:

  • Male

  • Female

  • Unspecified

🔍 Key Insights to Look For

  • Audience match: Check if your actual audience aligns with who you’re trying to reach.

  • Gender skew: If one group dominates, you might tailor your tone or creative to better balance or lean in.

  • Segment opportunity: An underrepresented group could be a chance to grow or experiment with new messaging.



Follower Age

This bar chart breaks down followers by age bracket, from 13–17 up to 65+.

🔍 Key Insights to Look For

  1. Age concentration: Identify which age group dominates—this helps shape the tone, references, and pacing of your content.

  2. Mismatch warnings: If your content is meant for 18–24 but you’re mostly reaching 45+, something’s not landing.

  3. Audience lifecycle: A younger skew might signal top-of-funnel reach, while older groups could reflect long-term loyalty or buying intent.


Follower Age & Gender

This combined chart shows how your audience breaks down across both gender and age groups.

🔍 Key Insights to Look For

  • Demographic hotspots: See where your audience clusters (e.g., 25–34 Female). That’s your core group.

  • Creative relevance: If one age/gender group dominates, tailor visuals, tone, or format to their preferences.

  • Segment testing: Underrepresented groups may be good candidates for A/B testing or growth campaigns.
