When using Discovery, you may notice that some influencers—especially those with under 5,000 followers don’t appear in the results.
First, how the Algorithm Works:
SARAL’s Discovery tools rely on a data-driven algorithm to suggest relevant influencers. These systems work best when there is enough engagement and content data to analyze.
There are two common reasons why an influencer might not show up:
1. Influencers with Fewer than 5,000 Followers
The algorithm sometimes skips very small creators (under 3,000–5,000 followers) because:
They may not have enough public data for our system to index lookalikes
Typically, lookalikes work best for creators with 20,000+ followers, but they can also work for those in the 5,000–10,000 range
2. Some Larger Creators (100k+ Followers) Missing
They don’t use hashtags in their posts.
They leave captions blank, limiting the algorithm’s ability to categorize their content.
Workarounds
If a specific creator isn’t showing up in Discovery, you can still add them manually:
Use the Chrome Extension
Use the “Add Creator” Button from the Relationships tab
