Shortlist smaller accounts that actually get engagement
Big accounts are easy to find and expensive to work with. Rank the accounts under a tag by engagement per post instead of by fame, and get a shortlist you can check by hand.
Planning is free and needs no account. Running the plan — the collection, the written report and the CSV — is what an account is for.
What the report answers
- Authors ranked by engagement, not by follower count you cannot see
- How many posts each made in the window, so one viral fluke does not top the list
- Permalinks to their posts under the tag
- The other tags they use, to check they are really in your niche
Who this is for: Anyone building an outreach list without a $200/month tool.
How it works
- Describe the job in a sentence. You get back the plan it would run — which tags, how many posts, over what window, and what it assumed.
- Connect the Instagram account you already control. The session stays yours; nothing here holds an Instagram account of its own.
- Run it. You get the written report and the rows as CSV. Re-run the same brief whenever you want the next window.
