Drawing insights and applying lessons

Once you've analyzed another account's followers, ask yourself:

  • Who is their target audience?
  • How does their audience compare to yours?
  • What can you learn from their engagement tactics?
  • Are there any opportunities for collaboration or cross-promotion?

How to analyze an account's Twitter followers

While X doesn't provide direct access to another account's analytics, you can sometimes infer information from publicly available data.

But even then, the number of followers you can see is limited, as you are unable to see all of someone's followers. Not natively on X, at least.

So, even if you want to analyze it manually, the insights you'll be getting will be quite limited.

That's why you may need a comprehensive Twitter management tool like Circleboom Twitter.


Analyze an account's Twitter followers with Circleboom

Circleboom offers a detailed analysis of any account's followers, including demographics, genuinity, and many other details.

With Circleboom, you can search for any profile to see its full follower and following list on Twitter.

Then you can export these followers into a CSV file that you'll become able to work on offline and in more detail.

  • Within that file, you can see how many of an account's followers are verified, telling you how strong that account is.
  • You can also see how many of those followers are fake or inactive. It may indicate whether that profile has bought followers or not.
  • The file will tell you the locations of those accounts also, giving you hints about the locations, languages, and the time zones of the followers or followings of any X profile.
  • By looking at the follower and following count of those accounts that are provided within that list also, you can infer the influential accounts for potential collaboration.
  • You can compare any two exported Twitter follower lists, or a list with your own followers to check the commonalities and overlaps as well as the key differences.

See an example of an exported follower list below:
