How We Collect Data of Instagram influencers in South Africa

We use an advanced automated system to collect Instagram influencer profiles by regularly monitoring the Instagram database. Our system identifies the profiles of South Africa-based Instagram influencers by following key metrics:

  • Public Profiles Only: We exclude private profiles even if they publish content related to South Africa. Our system only extracts the public profiles of influencers.

  • Sufficient Number of Posts: Our system picks the influencer accounts that have a consistent history of posts. It proves that the influencer is active and engaged in their content.

  • Minimum Follower Count: Our system prioritizes Instagram influencers in South Africa with a minimum of 5,000 followers.

By analyzing these key statistics, our system automatically identifies the most relevant South Africa-based influencer profiles, extracts the data, and adds it to our database. The information is then processed, verified, and classified to ensure accuracy and relevance.

How Our Algorithm Identifies Instagram Influencers in South Africa

Heepsy uses an Al-powered algorithm to identify the most relevant Instagram influencers in South Africa.

  • Profile Location Information: First, we check if the influencers profile explicitly mentions city or country. If the profile contains certain specific cities from South Africa, or any other reference to South Africa, we automatically mark the profile as South Africa-based.

  • Bio and Content Analysis: If no explicit location is mentioned, our system scans the influencer's bio for any references to South Africa, such as cultural symbols, language spoken within South Africa, or location- specific hashtags that could indicate the influencer's connection to South Africa.

  • Use of Flags and Emblems: In cases when the influencer doesn't mention a specific city or region, we look for flags in the bio that indicates South Africa or any related symbols suggesting origin from South Africa.

  • Localized Content: We analyze the influencer's content for any localized posts that show landmarks from South Africa, events, or local cultural references. This can help us identify their location and target audience within South Africa.

How We Rank Instagram Influencers in South Africa

During the location identification process, we assign a score to each Instagram influencer profile that reflects its relevance to South Africa.

Then we use these scores to rank the profiles in our listings. Influencers with higher relevance scores are considered to have stronger ties to South Africa and are ranked higher in the results.

As a result, when you search for Instagram influencers in South Africa in our database, the most relevant profiles appear first. This makes it easier for you to find the best match for your project.

How Often Our Listing of Instagram Influencers in South Africa is Updated

We update our database monthly to ensure you have access to the most current and relevant influencer profiles based in South Africa. The profiles listed here reflect the latest data as of April 2025.
