Finding creators with filters

Use platform toggles and layered filters to build a targeted creator list.

Creator Search — the page headed “Find the right creators!” — lets you pull a list of creators that match your brand’s niche and audience, without paying per search. Searching is free; what’s metered is exporting creator emails.

Pick a platform and set the basics

  • Toggle the platform you want: Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok (Twitter shows as Coming Soon)
  • Set the basic filters: niche keywords, country, category, gender, language, and follower and engagement ranges
  • Hit Apply Filters to run the search, or Reset to start over

Go deeper with See more

Click See more to open the advanced filters: age group, account type, average views and likes, hashtags, bio keywords, promoted products, posting frequency, and the Email available toggle. If the list is destined for outreach, filter by “Email available” up front — it saves you from exporting creators you can’t contact.

Reading the results table

Each row shows Creator, Platform, Followers, Engagement, Avg. Views, Location, Verified, and Email Available. Expand a row for extra stats.

One habit worth building: sort by engagement rate, not raw followers. A 20k creator at 6% engagement usually outperforms a 200k creator at 0.5% — and engagement rate is the fair way to compare creators of very different sizes.
