Understanding Your Creator Ranking: What Does This Visual Mean?

If you’ve downloaded your creator ranking visual from Favikon, congratulations! That means you’ve made it to one of our dynamic and curated Top 200 rankings. Let’s break down what all the numbers and labels mean—using this visual of Greta Thunberg as an example.


🔢 The Biggest Number – Your Main Ranking

The biggest number you see at the top—in this case, #14—is your ranking within a specific Top 200 list. Here, Greta is ranked:

🏆 #14 in the “Top 200 Creators – Environment & Energy · Worldwide English”

This is her position among all English-speaking creators globally who are making an impact in the Environment & Energy space.


📊 Your Other Rankings – Niche and Platform Breakdowns

Beneath your profile, you’ll find two smaller rankings:

  • #1 in Climate Activists & Entrepreneurs Sweden

  • #861 in Instagram Sweden

These indicate how you’re ranked within other combinations of filters. In Greta's case:

  • She’s #1 among all Climate Activists & Entrepreneurs in Sweden.

  • She’s #861 among all creators on Instagram in Sweden, across all niches and topics.


🔍 How Do These Rankings Work?

Favikon’s rankings are dynamic and based on a multidimensional scoring system, which evaluates creators on several key performance metrics like:

  • Engagement rate

  • Community growth

  • Content consistency

  • Audience authenticity

  • Influence in their niche

What makes Favikon’s rankings unique is their filtering capability. Rankings are shaped by combinations of the following axes:

Filter Type

Examples

🌍 Geography

Country (e.g., Sweden), Worldwide

🌐 Platform

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, All Platforms

🧑 Gender

Female, Male, All Genders

🧭 Industry

Tech, Fashion, Education, Environment & Energy

🎯 Niche

Climate Activists, Gaming, Cooking

🗣️ Language

English, French, Spanish, All Languages

This means that your rank can differ dramatically depending on which filters are applied.


📌 Why Do My Rankings Vary?

Let’s say you’re a beauty creator based in Canada. You might have these rankings:

  • #4 in Beauty & Skincare · Canada · TikTok

  • #187 in Beauty & Fashion · Worldwide English

  • #1,502 in Instagram Canada (All Niches)

This shows you’re top-tier in your niche on TikTok in Canada but might be less prominent on Instagram or across broader global categories. That’s completely normal—and helpful! It gives you insight into where your strengths lie, and which markets or platforms are worth doubling down on.


📥 Pro Tip: Download the Ranking Where You Perform Best

If you notice a better ranking shown in the smaller sections (like being #1 in your country or niche), we recommend downloading that specific ranking’s PDF from Favikon. It can be a great asset for your media kit, sponsorship proposals, or brand outreach. Your strongest rank tells a story about your positioning and influence.


Final Word

This visual is more than just a number. It’s a snapshot of your influence, broken down by who you are, where you create, and who you're impacting. Rankings shift dynamically, so keep creating, engaging, and growing—your position will evolve with your journey.
