USE CASE:

Beauty brands on Instagram and the cost of audience size

Here is how audience size for beauty brands on Instagram actually gets done, what it costs each way, and where each way stops working. The tools we name are Mamba Labs Apify actors, priced per row, and Meta Brand Presence Mapper is the one pointed at beauty brands on Instagram.

Where this starts

On Instagram, beauty the answer is public, scattered, and nobody has time to collect it. Instagram is where consumer brands keep their shop window, so an absent account is itself a finding, and audience size for beauty brands on Instagram has to work around it. Worth knowing about beauty brands on Instagram, since audience size inherits it: a large audience can belong to the founder rather than the brand, and the two get counted as one. Meta Brand Presence Mapper carries 1 ready made setup for audience size on beauty brands on Instagram.

What is at stake

A follower count for beauty brands on Instagram is the easiest number to get and the easiest to misread.

The method

  1. Start with one of beauty brands on Instagram you already know, so a wrong audience size answer is obvious rather than plausible.
  2. Run Meta Brand Presence Mapper across your list of beauty brands on Instagram, which carries 1 ready made setup for audience size.
  3. Read ten rows of audience size on beauty brands on Instagram by hand before you trust the rest of the list.

Traditional Search Tools

  • The retailer's stockist list, for beauty brands on Instagram. Free, and being carried by a major retailer outranks any follower count.
  • The account's own posts, for beauty brands on Instagram. Free, and engagement per post exposes a bought audience in seconds.
  • The platform APIs. Official, accurate and gated. Most now require an app review to read a public follower count, which is weeks of work for one number.
  • Social listening suites. Brandwatch, Sprout and the rest do this among many other things. Priced for a brand team, not for a qualification step in a sales list.
  • SimilarWeb or a traffic estimator. A different proxy for the same question. Better for whether anyone visits, worse for whether anyone follows.
  • Open the profiles. Find the accounts, read the numbers, write them down. Two minutes per brand per network, and completely accurate on the day you do it.
