Instagram Lead Generation

Find Instagram creators, influencers, and businesses automatically

Search by hashtag, username, place, or direct URL. Filter by followers, engagement, location, and bio keywords. Fake followers, inflated metrics, and dormant profiles cut before results reach you — so you only see accounts worth reaching, already ranked.

4 ways to search Instagram

Hashtag search

Find creators and businesses posting under specific hashtags. Target niche communities like #DubaiSkincare or #FitnessCoach.

Username search

Look up specific profiles and discover similar accounts. Find competitors' followers and collaborators.

Place search

Search by location tag to find businesses and creators active in specific cities, neighborhoods, or venues.

Direct URL import

Paste Instagram profile or post URLs directly. Bulk import lists of profiles for scoring and enrichment.

Filter to find exactly who you need

Followers

Set minimum and maximum follower counts to target micro-influencers, mid-tier creators, or major accounts.

Engagement rate

Filter by likes-to-follower ratio to find creators with genuinely engaged audiences, not inflated follower counts.

Location

Target creators and businesses in specific countries, cities, or regions. Critical for local campaigns and geo-targeted outreach.

Bio keywords

Search bios for terms like 'founder', 'agency', 'DM for collabs', or industry-specific language.

Verification

Filter for verified accounts or focus on unverified creators who are often more responsive to outreach.

Post frequency

Find actively posting accounts. Filter out dormant profiles that will never see your message.

Who uses Instagram lead generation

Influencer marketing

Find creators in your niche with real engagement. AI scoring filters out fake followers and inflated metrics, so you only reach out to creators who can actually move the needle.

Brand partnerships

Discover businesses and personal brands that align with your product. Cross-reference Instagram activity with LinkedIn presence to validate business legitimacy.

Local business discovery

Find restaurants, salons, gyms, and retail stores in specific cities. Combine Instagram place search with Google Maps data for complete local business profiles.

Competitor analysis

Track competitor collaborations. Search hashtags they sponsor, find creators they work with, and identify gaps in their influencer strategy.

How Instagram lead generation works

1

Describe your target audience

Tell the AI agent who you are looking for: 'Find skincare influencers in Dubai with 10K-100K followers and high engagement.'

2

The bottom 90% never reach you

Every result is ranked by follower quality, engagement rate, bio relevance, and content fit. Dead profiles and bot accounts cut before delivery — you only see the ones worth reaching out to.

3

Review scored profiles

Profiles scoring 80+ are high-quality matches. 60-79 are worth reviewing. Below 60 are filtered automatically. No manual qualification needed.

4

Export and reach out

Export qualified profiles to Google Sheets or Excel. Start outreach with the highest-scored creators first.
