Influencers vs. ads

Free

What giving free visits to a few local creators really costs you. Shown next to buying the same reach from Meta or Google ads.

How to use it

  1. Open Marketing, then Creator discovery. It is the first panel on that screen — it used to be its own menu entry called Influencers vs. ads, and the old address still takes you there.
  2. Type how many free visits you would give away. Each one is costed at your unit cost from Settings, not the menu price.
  3. Type the views a typical local creator gets.
  4. Type what local ads cost you per thousand views.
  5. Read the two side by side: the real cost to you, your cost per thousand people reached, and the difference.

What it does

  • The screen is careful on purpose. It counts views, not likes. It assumes nobody sees a post twice. It ignores that a creator’s recommendation carries more weight than an ad.
  • A $28 meal at 30% food cost costs you $8.40. Ten of them cost $84. That is the whole point, in your numbers.
  • This screen is free. Finding the creators is the paid step.
