Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade Cincinnati 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 80% 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 Cincinnati 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

These questions cover how the list was built, what its numbers describe, and where the measurements stop.

01How were these Cincinnati influencers selected?

We screened 793 Cincinnati-based Instagram accounts between 20,000 and 500,000 followers for a 20% United States 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.

02Does this ranking cover every Cincinnati influencer?

No. This is an editorial selection of 25 Cincinnati influencers, not an exhaustive directory. It covers accounts between 20,000 and 500,000 followers under the stated screen. The separate United States study of 929,228 Instagram creator accounts supplies the market benchmark.

03Why is the audience measured against the United States and not Cincinnati?

These accounts are measured against a United States audience rather than a Cincinnati one. A city-level audience reading was available for too few accounts to screen on, so both the screen and the score use the national share, and this page makes no claim about how much of any creator’s audience sits in Cincinnati. Across this selection the national median is 87% and the range runs from 36% to 97%. Creator location was a separate filter in the query, so every account here is based in Cincinnati even where its audience is national.

04Why are team, university and business accounts missing?

A city search with no niche filter returns institutions as readily as creators. Professional athletes, two universities and their sports and spirit accounts, fan affiliate pages, a ski resort, bands, a drum shop and a car dealership were removed, because none of them is an independent creator a brand can book for content.

05Which market benchmark does the index use?

The United States Instagram study dated 15 September 2026, whose engagement medians are 0.79% for the 10,000 to 50,000 follower band and 0.56% for accounts above 250,000. Candidate measurements come from 16 September, so the two sources keep their separate dates.

06Does a high grade prove an influencer will deliver sales?

No. The score combines measured audience fit, engagement, relative Reel reach and real-audience share. It does not measure campaign sales, confirm availability or quote a rate. Review recent relevant posts and ask for campaign terms before approaching anyone on this page.
