Find more creators like your best performers
Teams scaling a campaign that already has three to five proven creators.
Give Zaver the handles that performed, a number of hops (one to three) and a follower range. It walks Instagram's related-profile suggestions hop by hop, removes duplicates and screens by size, then returns a CSV of lookalike profiles with followers, category, business flag and public contacts where published. Three seeds and two hops typically return several hundred screened profiles for 25 credits per 1,000.
You need
- 3–5 seed handles that worked
- A follower range for the lookalikes
