Every score tells a story.
Here's how we write it.

Spiike analyzes 6 dimensions of creator performance to give you one clear number out of 100. No vanity metrics. No black box. Just data you can trust to make better partnership decisions.

One number. Six dimensions. Zero guesswork.

Every influencer on Spiike receives a score from 0 to 100. This score reflects how well a creator performs across the metrics that actually matter for brand partnerships — not just how many followers they have.

Elite (90+) Exceptional influence. Maximum campaign ROI.
Expert (80+) Strong, reliable creator. Recommended for most campaigns.
Advanced (70+) Solid creator. Good fit for targeted campaigns.
Established (55+) Moderate influence. Evaluate based on your niche.
Growing (40+) Limited reach, but potential for micro-influencer campaigns.
Emerging (25+) Early stage. Higher risk for brand partnerships.
Beginner (<25) Low impact. Not recommended for paid campaigns.

What goes into the score.

Each dimension is weighted based on how much it impacts real campaign results. These weights are calibrated using industry benchmarks and updated regularly.

Engagement
Highest weight

How actively the audience interacts with the creator's content. Likes, comments, shares — the signals that tell you this audience listens and acts. Benchmarks are adjusted per platform and per audience size, so a creator with 10M followers isn't penalized for having a lower rate than a creator with 10K.

Reach
High weight

Audience size relative to platform benchmarks. A larger audience means broader exposure — but size alone doesn't make a great creator. That's why Reach is one dimension among six, not the whole score.

Real Reach
Significant weight

What percentage of followers actually see the content. A creator with 500K followers but only 5K views per post has a visibility problem. This dimension catches ghost followers and inflated audiences.

Growth Potential
Moderate weight

Is this creator on the rise or plateauing? We look at the ratio of views to total content. Fewer posts with high views signals a breakout creator — the kind you want to partner with before everyone else does.

Activity
Lower weight

How consistently the creator posts. Regular publishing keeps an audience engaged and the algorithm favorable. A creator who posts once a month is a riskier bet than one who shows up every week.

Audience Quality
Calibration weight

Signs of real followers versus bots. We analyze the followers-to-following ratio, the comments-to-likes ratio, and verified status. Accounts with abnormal patterns are flagged.

Built on real data. Not assumptions.

12 recent posts, not all of them.

We analyze the last 12 posts to reflect current performance — not what happened two years ago.

Pinned posts excluded.

Pinned content accumulates engagement over months. It doesn't represent typical performance.

Posts under 48 hours excluded.

Views and engagement need time to stabilize. We wait before counting.

Median, not average.

One viral hit or one underperforming post doesn't skew the score. The median shows you what a typical post actually looks like. This is the industry standard used by the leading analytics platforms.

Benchmarks calibrated per platform.

Instagram engagement works differently from TikTok. YouTube is different from X. Each platform has its own thresholds, based on real market data.

Benchmarks calibrated per audience size.

A 1% engagement rate is excellent for a creator with 10 million followers, but below average for someone with 5,000. We adjust expectations based on the creator's tier.

Two sides of the same creator.

Performance

Reach + Engagement + Activity. How active and engaging the creator is. This tells you what to expect from a campaign in terms of visibility and interaction.

Credibility

Audience Quality + Real Reach + Engagement. How authentic the creator's audience and engagement are. This protects you from wasting budget on fake influence.

A creator can have high Performance but low Credibility — big numbers, but suspicious audience. Or high Credibility with moderate Performance — small but loyal, real audience. The global score balances both.

Your score. Personal to your brand.

The Brand Match score is separate from the global score. It measures how well a specific creator aligns with your brand's industry, audience, tone, and values. Set up your Brand Profile in your account, and every creator you analyze will get a personalized match score — no extra credits required.
