USE CASE:

Getting audience size right for software vendors on Instagram

This page is about audience size for software vendors on Instagram: the options you actually have, what each one costs, and which one we would pick. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for work like this, and Meta Brand Presence Mapper is the one that reads software vendors on Instagram.

The situation

On Instagram, software vendors stops being a lookup and becomes a project. Instagram is where consumer brands keep their shop window, so an absent account is itself a finding, which shapes audience size for software vendors on Instagram. Worth knowing about software vendors on Instagram, since audience size inherits it: follower counts here are the most heavily inflated of any network. We keep 2 preconfigured tasks for audience size on software vendors on Instagram, across 1 tool.

What is at stake

If you qualify on audience, software vendors on Instagram is where that qualification is most likely to be quietly wrong.

How we would run it

  1. Start with one of software vendors 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 software vendors on Instagram, which carries 2 ready made setups for audience size.
  3. Read ten rows of audience size on software vendors on Instagram by hand before you trust the rest of the list.

Traditional Search Tools

  • The account's own posts, for software vendors 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.
