How Does It Work?
The Qoruz score is an aspirational step towards making influencer marketing more transparent, effective, and informative for both marketers and influencers around the world.
Scoring Methodology
The Qoruz score includes the following metrics, each given different weightage. The metrics are drawn from within a limited time frame or number of posts to ensure the numbers are up-to-date and unbiased.
Average Likes
Average of all likes excluding posts with abnormally high likes.
Follower Count
Total number of followers for a profile.
Average Comments
Average of all comments excluding posts with abnormally high comments.
Follower Growth Rate
Percentage increase/decrease in followers over limited time-period.
Average Video Views
Average of all video views excluding posts with abnormally high views.
Engagement Rate
Percentage of (Number of engagements on a post/Total number of followers).
Weightage of Parameters
As mentioned before, studies state engagement as a more accurate measure of social media impact. With that as the foundation, we used years of research to fine-tune a highly-accurate weightage system.
Using these methods, the Qoruz Score is calculated separately for each platform.
You may wonder:
Why not a universal social scoring system?
A Combined Social Score Does Not Work
In most cases, an influencer rises to fame due to their activities on a particular social media platform and leverage it to build a presence on other platforms.
There can be multiple reasons for this:
- Maybe they have more expertise in a particular platform than others.
- Maybe their content format/topic works best in a specific platform.
- Maybe a proportion of their audience from the first platform is not present on other platforms.
So when you combine platforms for scoring, a top Instagram influencer's score becomes lower due to their limited activity on Facebook or Twitter.
Engagement Is Better than Follower Count
Many influencers command huge payouts due to their massive follower-base. But many other factors that come into
play when considering influence.
Here are two influencers with widely-differing follower-counts:.
