The AI thoroughly analyzes and classifies the bloggers based on audience quality and authentic engagement. The order of the influencers in this list is based on the degree of influence this tool calculates and not just on the number of followers. As a result, you'll find that some people with higher follower counts appear lower down the list than people who we believe have more influence with lower follower counts.
To provide a more nuanced view of influencer impact, Influencer Marketing Hub has collaborated with HypeAuditor to introduce the Ranking Tool for the TOP Influencers by Country and Category.
