Understanding Your Social Ranking: What It Means & How to Improve It.
3 min read
What is Social Ranking?
Social Ranking is Social Page's influence scoring system. It's a star rating (1-5 stars) that reflects your overall social media presence, engagement, and reach. Think of it as a trust signal — a quick way for brands, collaborators, and visitors to gauge your influence at a glance.
Unlike follower counts alone, Social Ranking considers multiple factors across all your connected platforms, giving a more accurate picture of your actual influence.
Your ranking reflects real influence, not just vanity metrics.
Why Social Ranking Matters
1. Search Visibility
Higher-ranked profiles appear first in Social Search results. When brands search for 'Fitness Coach' or 'Food Photographer,' they see top-ranked creators first. Your ranking directly impacts your discoverability.
2. Credibility Signal
A 4-star or 5-star ranking instantly communicates credibility. Brands don't need to manually verify your following across platforms — your ranking does the work. It's social proof, automated.
3. Partnership Leverage
When negotiating brand deals, your Social Ranking backs up your rate card. It's objective data that shows you've built real influence, not just bought followers.
A strong ranking gives you leverage in negotiations.
How Social Ranking is Calculated
Your Social Ranking is calculated from multiple data points across your connected social accounts. Here's what influences your score:
- Total followers across connected platforms
- Engagement rates (likes, comments, shares relative to followers)
- Platform diversity (presence on multiple networks)
- Account verification status
- Profile completeness on Social Page
- Linked Connections with other ranked profiles
The algorithm weighs engagement heavily. A creator with 10K highly-engaged followers can outrank someone with 100K passive followers. Quality beats quantity.
The 5-Star Breakdown
Understanding your ranking helps you improve strategically.
How to Improve Your Social Ranking
1. Connect All Your Platforms
Each connected account contributes to your ranking. Don't just connect Instagram — add TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and any other platforms where you're active. More data points = more accurate (and usually higher) ranking.
2. Focus on Engagement, Not Just Followers
The algorithm rewards engagement. Create content that sparks comments, saves, and shares. Ask questions, start conversations, and respond to your audience. An engaged small audience beats a passive large one.
3. Complete Your Social Page Profile
A complete profile signals professionalism. Add a high-quality photo, write a compelling bio, set your Social Title, and populate your pages with links. Profile completeness is a ranking factor.
4. Build Linked Connections
Linked Connections are the social platforms you connect (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X/Twitter). We pull follower and engagement stats from each linked platform and aggregate them into your Social Ranking. More connected, active accounts = a more accurate, higher score.
