How to spot fake followers?

Fake followers are artificial accounts (bots) that influencers buy to inflate their follower count. The problem is widespread — according to industry reports, 15-20% of influencer accounts have a suspiciously high number of fake followers.

Collaborating with an influencer who has fake followers means wasted budget — your ads reach bots instead of real people. That's why verifying an account before a collaboration is crucial.

What do we analyze?

Our tool checks 3 key indicators:

  • Engagement Rate vs Benchmark — we compare the influencer's ER against the norm for their platform and category. Too low ER with high follower count is a red flag.
  • View-to-follower ratio (VTR) — if an account has 100K followers but posts get only 500 views, something is off. Normal VTR is 3-50%.
  • Likes-to-comments ratio — bots can like posts, but rarely leave natural comments. A ratio above 500:1 is suspicious.

How to interpret the score?

A score of 70-100 indicates high credibility — the account looks authentic. 40-69 means moderate credibility — worth a closer look. Below 40 suggests possible fake followers or bots. Keep in mind this is a preliminary analysis — a full audit requires deeper inspection of the follower list.
