Why tracking followers the right way matters

Scale

Instagram is used by over 2 billion people each month. Visibility is competitive.

Business impact

90% of people on Instagram follow at least one business (Meta data).

Average feed engagement for business accounts is often around 0.5-1%. Every improvement counts.

Your job is simple: post better content, grow consistently, and report results. This follower growth tracker helps you do that with honest Instagram analytics. No guessing. No scraping. No account risk.

What makes Yuku different

API-compliant and safe

Yuku uses the official Instagram Graph API. We do not scrape. We do not show lists of users who unfollowed you. We comply with Instagram’s platform rules.

Honest insights without risky shortcuts

We focus on metrics you can trust: growth, engagement, reach, audience insights, and content performance for your own connected account.

Designed for real workflows

Simple dashboards, weekly summaries, competitor context, and exports built for creator, brand, and agency workflows.

The dashboard you’ll actually use

  • Overview: followers, net new, growth rate, reach, impressions
  • Content performance: top posts by engagement and saves
  • Audience: location, age, gender, active hours
  • Trends: daily changes with moving averages
  • Benchmarks: rivals’ public trends and posting pace
  • Reports: ready-made templates for sharing in minutes

Real outcomes our users aim for

Creators: land more brand deals with proof of sustained growth

Brands: plan campaigns using data-backed posting windows

Agencies: standardize reporting and reduce manual work by hours each week

Shops: match content to product drops and track lift in visits from Instagram

Important notes on compliance and what we show

Do

  • Show net follower changes and growth trends for your connected Instagram Professional account.
  • Provide Instagram insights (reach, impressions, content performance, audience breakdown) made available by the Instagram Graph API.
  • Provide competitor comparisons using only public information (follower counts, post cadence, engagement estimates based on public interactions).
  • Offer alerts, exports, and benchmark dashboards.

Don’t

  • Show the names of people who followed or unfollowed you. The Instagram Graph API does not provide follower identity lists.
  • Access private data for competitor accounts.
  • Ask for your Instagram password or rely on unsafe methods.

This approach protects your account, your audience, and your brand reputation.

Data freshness and reliability

Your connected Instagram Professional account
We use official webhooks and scheduled syncs to keep data near real-time where available, then backfill on schedule. Data integrity rules prevent double counting.

Public competitor accounts
We track public data on a reliable schedule and display trends rather than individual user identities. This avoids privacy issues and keeps your account safe.

Exports and reports your team will use

  • PDF: Shareable reports with your logo and chosen KPIs
  • CSV: Raw exports for data science and BI tools
  • Google Sheets: Always-on sync for team dashboards
  • Scheduled delivery: Send weekly or monthly reports to stakeholders

A simple way to plan content with Instagram analytics

  • Look at the growth chart and pick the weeks with stronger momentum.
  • Review top posts to learn what format and topic worked.
  • Check audience active hours to refine posting windows.
  • Set small targets: +0.2% growth rate, +15% reach for Reels, +10 saves per post.
  • Build a two-week test plan. Measure. Repeat.

This step-by-step approach compounds results over time.
