A Quick Twitter Audit to Find Real Twitter Followers

. 4 min read


Many X (Twitter) accounts are filled with fake, spam, or inactive followers, which can hurt credibility and engagement rates. That’s where a Twitter follower audit comes into play.

Having fake followers may inflate your numbers, but they won’t bring in any engagement or add any real value. With the right tools, you can easily check whether your followers are real or fake.

But first, you need to understand where you're standing.


Check your engagement levels before starting with your Twitter audit

Struggling with low engagement levels despite your growing follower base? Then, it might be possible that bots keep following you on Twitter.

Don't worry though, let's start with diagnostics.

Head towards Circleboom's Twitter engagement calculator to calculate your Twitter engagement level for free.

Below is an example of @TheEconomist, the globally famous magazine.

Oops... Do they have low engagement? Who would have expected that with over 27M followers?

Well, I would, honestly. Because engagement levels should be calculated relative to the follower base.

I mean, if you have 100 followers and you're getting 27 likes and 7 retweets per tweet, then you're awesome, and please teach me your ways!

But if you score the same with over 27M followers, then this is very low.

NOTICE: Low engagement doesn't have to mean that all your followers are fake/bot. It may also have a lot to do with your content strategy. So if you believe that's the case for you, below is a helping hand for you to use while crafting your tweets.
