Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade Boston food influencers

CII is a market-relative score from 0 to 99. It combines local audience fit, engagement against creators of the same size, average Reel views, and estimated real-audience share. The creators above are ordered by this score, not by follower count.

25%of the score

Audience fit

How much of the audience sits in the American market. Full marks once 30% of it is there.

30%of the score

Engagement

Likes and comments against creators of the same size here. Full marks at 3x that median.

30%of the score

View power

Average Reel views against follower count. Full marks at twice the following.

15%of the score

Audience quality

Share of followers reading as real people. Full marks at 90%.

Engagement is scored against the American median for a creator’s own size: around 0.8% under 50K followers, around 0.6% above 250K. Both are rounded, because the study measures them by search rather than by census.

  • A+90-99
  • A80-89
  • B65-79
  • C50-64
  • Dunder 50

The score is capped at 99 so it never implies certainty. Read the full CA Influence Index methodology. The benchmark is national, not global. Here is the market behind it.

Market benchmark

The American Instagram market behind this ranking

The American Instagram study covers 929,228 accounts with at least 10K followers. The 25 selected profiles are compared with that study below.

Read the United States Creator Economy Report, the measurement this chart is scored against.

How the selected 25 compare with the American Instagram market

Pink = the 25 Boston food influencers above.

Grey = every American Instagram account we measure with at least 10,000 followers, all 929,228 of them.

Each bar is the share above the threshold, so a longer pink bar means the influencers above reach it more often than the market does.

Engagement rate of 5% or better

selected: 40%
market: 13%

Averages 100K+ Reel views per post

selected: 4%
market: 4.8%

Source: the Click Analytic American creator market study of 929,228 Instagram accounts, measured 15 September 2026. The market side is read from that study; the pink side is computed from the cards above.

Why Biplaw Rai is the #1 Boston food creator

Biplaw Rai tops this ranking with a CA Influence Index of 99 (A+), the joint highest among the selected accounts on this page.

The score breaks down like this

  • Audience in Boston31.0%100/100
  • Engagement against the market median for this size3.67%, 4.6x100/100
  • Average Reels reach against follower count2.3x100/100
  • Share of the audience that is real86%96/100

The top of this list is tight: 4 creators grade A+, so the component bars on each card are what separate them.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

These cover why a food bio search returns so many businesses, how large these accounts are, and what the score cannot tell you.

01How were these Boston food influencers selected?

We screened 1,404 Boston-based Instagram accounts between 1,000 and 500,000 followers that name food in their own bio, for a 15% Boston audience, 1.5% engagement, 60% real followers, 1,000 average Reel views and a post in the last thirty days, then ranked 25 selected creators by the CA Influence Index.

02Why does a food search return restaurants and bars?

A bio phrase cannot tell a person from a business. Restaurants, cafes, bars, a food tour company and a caterer all name food in their own bio as readily as a reviewer or a home cook does, and every one of them was removed because this page ranks creators, not businesses.

03Why is the audience number a Boston share rather than a national one?

Because creator location and audience location were both screened for Boston. Each percentage on a card is the share of that account's audience living in Boston specifically, graded against the 15% city threshold this programme uses for local pages, not the wider national threshold used on pages with no city.

04How large are these accounts?

From 1,094 to 126,342 followers. The smallest, _alexa.hill_, ranks eighth and the largest, wannabestayathomedad, ranks ninth, which is the clearest illustration of what the index does: it weighs engagement and Reel reach against the following behind them, so a small account with a real, engaged audience can outrank a much bigger one.

05Why is the follower floor as low as 1,000?

This page's floor was set at 1,000 followers, specifically so genuinely small Boston food voices would not be excluded on size alone. At that size a bio can still describe a real trade even without a large following, so the index below leans on engagement, real-follower share and Reel reach rather than on follower count, which is why several highly graded cards here sit in the low thousands.

06What can the score not tell me?

It cannot say what anyone charges, whether they are free this quarter, or whether their last ten posts suit a particular brief. Four measurements taken on one day, compared only against the other accounts here and against the national study, are the whole of it. Treat the order as a reading list and confirm the rest directly.
