Overview
The Audience tab helps you understand who is engaging with an influencer's content by providing demographic and audience insights for their followers and active engagers.
Depending on the social platform, you can analyze different audience segments, such as followers, likers, or commenters, to better understand how engagement varies across communities.
These insights help you determine whether an influencer's audience aligns with your target audience and identify the characteristics of the people most actively engaging with their content.
Audience Types
The audience segments available depend on the social platform being analyzed.
For Instagram reports, audience insights are available for:
- Followers
- Likers
You can switch between these audience types to compare the characteristics of people who follow the influencer with those who actively engage by liking their content.
This comparison can help you understand whether engagement comes primarily from existing followers or from a broader audience.
Note: Audience Type selection is currently available only for Instagram Influencer Reports.
YouTube
For YouTube reports, audience insights are available for:
- Subscribers
- Commenters
In addition to understanding the influencer's subscriber base, you can analyze the audience that actively participates in conversations through comments.
This provides additional context about the community driving engagement around the influencer's content.
Age & Gender Distribution
The Audience tab separates Age and Gender into individual charts rather than combining them into a single visualization.
This makes it easier to independently analyze:
- Gender distribution
- Age distribution
By separating these insights, you can more clearly identify which audience segments are most engaged.
Why Is This Useful?

- Identify the influencer's primary audience.
- Compare followers with active engagers.
- Evaluate how closely an influencer's audience aligns with your target audience.
- Understand engagement patterns across different demographic groups.

Language
The Language section identifies the primary languages used by the influencer's audience.
Language is determined by analyzing captions and other publicly available content from recent activity.

This insight can help you:
- Discover additional influencers.
