Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade US tech 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 927,095 accounts with at least 10K followers. The 20 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 20 compare with the American Instagram market

Pink = the 20 US tech influencers above.

Grey = every American Instagram account we measure with at least 10,000 followers, all 927,095 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

Answers on the word tech, who was removed and what the index weighs.

01How were these 20 US tech influencers chosen?

We started from the 927,095 US-based Instagram accounts we track and kept those between 20,000 and 1,000,000 followers that name tech or technology in their own bio. Each had to hold at least half their audience in the United States while clearing our engagement, audience quality, Reel view and recency floors. The 20 here are ranked by the CA Influence Index.

02Why 20 cards and not 25?

Because we would have had to let nail technicians onto a technology page to reach 25. In an Instagram bio the word tech splits roughly evenly between technologists and technicians, and the pool was full of licensed nail, lash and radiology techs. Twenty is what the screen honestly yields, and a shorter list of the right people is worth more than a full one of the wrong people.

03Why does this page combine two searches?

Because the precise word does not fill a page on its own: too few US accounts name technology in full and clear our screen. The broader word, tech, returns far more, including accounts that only mention it in passing. We analyzed both searches and merged them.

04Who was left out, and why?

Licensed nail, lash and radiology technicians. Universities and college sports accounts whose name contains Tech, including four of them. And product brands, which pull reach but are not creators you can brief.

05Why does the American audience share matter on a tech page?

Because a launch, a device and a price all land in one market. The share runs from 52 to 91 percent across these 20 accounts, so two creators with the same follower count can differ by a third of a million American viewers. The index scores it at a quarter of the total, which is why the largest account here does not lead the page.

06How current is this?

Every account posted within 30 days of the Sep 7, 2026 snapshot. Follower counts, engagement, Reel views and audience shares are read at that date and move week to week at this size, so re-check before a campaign.
