Creator Search now includes powerful new filters that help you quickly narrow results and eliminate irrelevant accounts—so you can focus on creators that are actually suitable for collaboration.

These filters reduce noise, improve outreach efficiency, and make creator discovery more precise.


What’s New

Creator Search now supports filtering by:

  • Account Category

  • Account Privacy

  • Phone Number Availability

Each filter can be used independently or combined for highly targeted searches.


Filters in Creator Search

1. Category Filter

The Category filter lets you sort accounts by what they represent, helping you remove businesses, organizations, or non-relevant profiles from your search results.

Available Categories

  • Creator
    Influencers and content creators focused on audience-driven content

  • Brand
    Companies, products, or commercial services

  • Media
    News outlets, magazines, and content aggregators

  • Pro Service
    Individuals offering professional services (e.g. photographers, trainers, realtors, coaches)

  • Venue
    Physical locations like restaurants, hotels, retail stores, or event spaces

  • Public Sector
    Government, non-profits, schools, and public institutions

  • Unknown
    Accounts without enough information for confident classification

Common Use Cases

  • Exclude brands and businesses from influencer campaigns

  • Find only brands for B2B or partnership outreach

  • Remove media, venue, or public-sector accounts from creator searches


How We Define Categories

Our classification follows a consistent framework:

  1. Person vs. Organization

    • Personal name, first-person language (“I/me”), collab or PR email → Person

    • Business name, “we/our”, hours, address, “official”, business email → Organization

  2. Organizations are never Creators

    • They are classified as Brand, Media, Venue, or Public Sector

  3. People: Creator vs. Pro Service

    • Pro Service: Clear job or service focus (e.g. “book now”, appointments, professional titles)

    • Creator: Content- or audience-focused accounts (entertainment, UGC, opinions, collabs, discount codes)

    • If unclear, the account is classified as Creator


2. Account Privacy Filter

The Account Privacy filter lets you control whether private accounts appear in your results.

Options

  • Public

  • Private

Why This Matters

  • Private accounts can’t be reviewed or collaborated with in most cases

  • Filtering to Public accounts helps ensure visibility and outreach readiness


3. Phone Number Filter

The Phone Number filter shows only accounts that have a phone number available.

Why This Matters

  • Provides an alternative outreach method when email response rates are low

  • Helps prioritize creators who are easier to contact

  • Useful for high-intent or time-sensitive campaigns


Best Practices

  • Combine Category + Privacy to remove non-creators and private accounts in one step

  • Use Phone Number filtering for priority outreach lists

  • If results feel too limited, expand categories or remove phone filtering to increase volume


Availability

  • Available to all Custom plan customers with Creator Search access
