Traackr

Traackr is easy to use and has many useful features.

It has a large database and a good search functionality so it is useful for finding influencers across a range of topics and in different countries.

The network maps and social listening options are extremely useful, as is the functionality for checking articles being shared organically by influencers. Analytics options within the charts give you lots of useful cuts of the data and it's great being able to share the livelink to the charts.

It's a strong option for influencer discovery, relationship management and analytics. I also find the customer service team to be helpful and very prompt with replies, which is really appreciated.

Taking a good screenshot of the network maps can be a bit of a challenge and it can take a little time to dig into the tweets connecting the influencers - it would be great to be able to see that within the map rather than having to check the influencer profile.

Price wise I think it starts at a really competitive price point, which is the reason we've been able to use it on so moany projects, however I would like to see more economies of scale within the pricing so I could sell it in on larger projects

The project and tagging features are really helpful to stay organized when working with so many influencers.

The language used doesn't really line-up to what you're doing if you're working with unpaid influencers. I like the ability to put people into different buckets/stages within a project, but it would be nice if those boxes were customizable.

When looking for influencers in smaller cities, I think the pool of people could be better. Those areas don't have as many mega-influencers and it is hard to find people with 7-15k followers who are very influential locally.

Audience demographics, ease of adding influencers, availability of contact information and reporting capabilities.

Traackr pulls audience demographics, allowing you to see where an influencer's audience is based or what the age range is, which is extremely helpful when vetting new influencers. Additionally, Traackr's database is not an opt-in network, so you can continually identify and add influencers you are interested in working with or need to vet.

Plus, the platform provides influencer contact information, giving our team the ability to reach out directly rather than go through an agency. And the reporting capabilities are extremely insightful and elevate a lot of the manual tracking our department had to do in the past.

Without proper training and the time to consistently use, the platform can feel overwhelming. But like anything, you just need to invest some time.
