How creator discovery works
How CreatorTicker search counts on-platform and external creators, and which filters use real records rather than estimates.
One directory, two kinds of record
Search covers creators who have registered and external directory records that have not. Every result says which kind it is. A count is the number of indexed records that match the current filters. It is not a census of every creator on the internet.
Private profiles are not indexed. Follower, view, and engagement filters use numbers only when a registered creator has chosen to share analytics, or when an external record already includes those figures with a source.
What you can search
You can search by name, niche, social handle, or profile URL. Filters cover platform, creator country, language, follower and view ranges, engagement, public rate cards, and data source. City or location matches only a location the creator supplied. Audience country and age band match stored audience snapshots. If a snapshot has no age band, the creator is not given one.
Match score and sponsored performance score stay separate. Paid placement does not change either score. A missing score is shown as unavailable.
Saving a creator
Brands and agencies can save a public record to an organization list. The list is private to that organization. Saving does not invite the creator and does not create representation. Representation still needs the creator to agree.
