Use case — Creator & influencer sites

Find the individual-run creator sites, not another corporate publisher

You want people, not brands: solo bloggers, creators, and niche authorities who write in their own voice and whose audience trusts them personally. We pull your vertical from 120M+ classified domains and have an LLM read each site for the individual-vs-company-run signal, personal voice, and creator markers — screened to your ICP.

The job to be done

Separate the person-run sites from the company-run ones

Corporate publishers and creator sites can look identical to a keyword filter. The difference — who is behind the site — is exactly what you need for creator partnerships, and it is only visible when you read the site. Six steps.

1

Pull the vertical universe

Your niche maps to our 120M+ classified-domain database. We pull every active site in scope, including the individual-run long tail no influencer platform has ever indexed.

2

Classify individual vs company

The LLM reads ownership tells — a named person behind the site, first-person voice, an about-me rather than an about-us, a single consistent author — and scores whether it is person-run or a corporate operation.

3

Read personal voice & authenticity

First-person narrative, personal photos, an identifiable creator persona, and a point of view — the markers that distinguish a real creator from a faceless content brand or an SEO shell.

4

Confirm reach & cross-platform presence

Linked, active social profiles, a newsletter, and a community signal that the creator has a genuine audience to activate — not just a domain that sits idle.

5

Screen to your ICP & dedup

Creator markers sit on top of your ICP — topic fit, affiliate readiness, freshness. Company-run publishers and PR shells are removed by the disqualifier set; canonical domains collapse duplicates.

6

Deliver a creator shortlist

A deduplicated CSV scored for individual-run confidence, personal voice, and reach, so your partnerships team reaches out to real people first.

The instrument

Creator signals we screen — who's really behind the site

The individual-vs-company distinction is the whole use case, so it gets read carefully rather than guessed from a domain name. Each signal is extracted from what the site actually shows and shipped with a confidence score.

Individual / duo run (not a company) Named, identifiable creator First-person, personal voice Personal photos / behind-the-scenes About-me (vs corporate about-us) Linked, active social profiles Cross-platform creator presence Personal newsletter Engaged community / replies Affiliate links present Fresh, regular posting Company / brand-run publisher (disqualifier) PR / press-release shell (disqualifier)

Need a signal that isn't here — "has a sponsorship / work-with-me page", "a specific follower threshold", "posts video reviews"? Custom creator signals are defined per engagement and calibrated the same way.

The distinction

Creator site vs corporate publisher — read, not guessed

Both can rank for the same queries and carry the same affiliate links. Only reading the site tells you which one you're talking to.

A note on confidentiality

The profile below is drawn from a real screening run. Because these are independent creators, we follow standard confidentiality practice on public pages: domains are withheld and descriptions generalized, so the profile is intentionally not traceable to the site — including through a web search — which protects the creator without changing the underlying data. Pilot and client deliverables carry the actual domains with every signal, so everything can be verified directly.

The deliverable

One row per creator, scored for who's behind it

The CSV carries the individual-run verdict, personal-voice and reach scores alongside your ICP result and confidence on every field. Here is a single generalized row from a lifestyle creator run.

Why ownership is the signal

Creator programs need a person who can post, film, and vouch. A company-run publisher with the same affiliate links can't do that. Scoring individual-vs-company run separates the two before you ever draft an email.

Reach without invented numbers

We report reach through observable signals — linked active socials, a newsletter, community activity — never fabricated follower counts. You threshold on what can actually be verified.

Questions

Creator-site discovery — FAQ

How do you tell an individual-run site from a company one?
The screen reads ownership tells: a named person behind the site, first-person voice, an about-me rather than an about-us, a single consistent author, and personal photos. Each is scored, so you can threshold to sites that are confidently person-run rather than corporate.
Is this about their website, or their social channels?
The starting point is the creator's own site — that's what our 120M+ domain database indexes. We then read the cross-platform signals the site exposes: linked, active social profiles and community presence. It complements social-first influencer tools by finding creators through the sites they own.
Do you report follower counts?
We never invent audience numbers. Reach is reported through observable signals — linked active socials, a newsletter, engaged community — plus reproducible web-traffic proxies. It's an honest, auditable read, not a guessed metric.
Can you scope by niche and audience size?
Yes. We narrow to your niche and calibrate creator markers against a reviewed sample. Custom signals like a sponsorship page or a specific reach proxy can be added, so you get creators at the size and focus your program targets.
What's in the deliverable?
A deduplicated CSV, one row per canonical domain, with the individual-run verdict, personal-voice and reach scores, your ICP result, per-signal confidence, language and geo focus. It imports straight into a partnerships CRM or outreach stack.
What does the free pilot include?
The full pipeline configured for your niche and ICP, stopped at the first 20 qualified creator sites — free — plus a projected full-run yield and quotes. It is the fastest way to see real creators before committing to anything.
