Follower tiers

Nano, micro, macro and mega: the four follower bands every surface uses.

01

Definition

A follower tier is the band an account's follower count falls in. There are four, and every page, tool and report uses the same bands.

02

How it is computed

  • Nano: fewer than 10,000 followers. Micro: 10,000 to 100,000. Macro: 100,000 to 1 million. Mega: 1 million or more.
  • Brand of the Day shows the creator size mix: the share of the brand's creators in each tier, with the count.
  • Some components of the quality score are ranked against the follower tier.
03

Limits

  • A tier follows the current follower count, so an account moves between tiers as it grows.
  • The mix counts creators who shared the brand in the week, not the audience of those creators.
04

Example

An account with 85,000 followers is micro; at 100,000 it is macro.
