Audience signal

Behavioral and demographic data computed from a creator's audience — the input that produces clusters.

Also known as: Audience graph · Audience fingerprint

Audience signal is the behavioral data layer underneath every cluster: what a creator's audience watches, buys, repeats, scrolls past, converts on, and which language they primarily operate in. It is distinct from creator-side metrics (followers, posting cadence) and from self-declared categories.

What goes into the signal

  • Cross-creator audience overlap
  • Conversion patterns on previous campaigns
  • Language and regional density
  • Category affinity (computed, not declared)
  • Repeat-purchase cadence

Why it beats keywords

Keywords describe what a creator says they are. Audience signal describes what their audience actually does. The first decays the moment a creator pivots topic; the second refreshes nightly.
