Track creator follower growth weekly

Talent managers, creator rosters and benchmark sheets.

Short answer

Put the handles in a column, connect the sheet, point the Profile metrics → Google Sheet tool at it and schedule it weekly with append instead of overwrite. Each week Zaver loads every profile and a reel sample and writes followers, following, posts, average reel views and engagement rate into a new dated column, so growth is a chart away. It costs 250 credits per 1,000 profiles, so a roster of 200 refreshed weekly is 50 credits.

You need

A sheet with handles in one column
Growth or Scale plan for scheduling

Step by step in Zaver

1
Connect and point
Google Sheets → connect. Tools → Profile metrics → Google Sheet: tab, handle column, row range, output column, metrics.
2
Choose append
Append writes into new dated columns instead of overwriting, which is what growth tracking needs.
3
Schedule weekly
Pick the day and time. Email on completion.
4
Chart it
A sparkline per row over the dated columns shows who is growing and who is stalling.
