We use an advanced automated system to collect YouTube influencer profiles by regularly monitoring the YouTube database. Our system identifies the profiles of New York-based YouTube influencers within the sports niche by focusing on the following key metrics:
Relevance to sports: Our system analyzes each influencer's username, bio, and posts to confirm that their content is related to the sports niche.
Location Verification: Our system checks for the inclusion of city or country names in profiles, and where necessary, we analyze flags, localized posts and profile bio data to confirm the influencer's location in New York.
Public Profiles Only: We exclude private profiles, even if they are New York-based and publish sports-related content. Our system only extracts the public profiles of influencers.
Sufficient Number of Posts: Our system picks the influencer accounts that have a consistent history of posts. It proves that the influencer is active and engaged in their content.
Minimum Follower Count: Our system prioritizes New York-based sports influencers with a minimum of 5,000 followers.
By analyzing these key statistics, our system automatically identifies the most relevant sports influencers located in New York, extracts the data, and adds it to our database. The information is then processed, verified, and classified to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Heepsy uses an Al-powered algorithm to identify the most relevant sports YouTube influencers in New York.
Identifying Influencer Location in New York:
Profile Location Information: First, we check if the influencers profile explicitly mentions city or country. If the profile contains certain specific cities from New York, or any other reference to New York, we automatically mark the profile as New York-based.
Bio and Content Analysis: If no explicit location is mentioned, our system scans the influencer's bio for any references to New York, such as cultural symbols, language spoken within New York, or location- specific hashtags that could indicate the influencer's connection to New York.
Use of Flags and Emblems: In cases when the influencer doesn't mention a specific city or region, we look for flags in the bio that indicates New York or any related symbols suggesting origin from New York.
Localized Content: We analyze the influencer's content for any localized posts that show landmarks from New York, events, or local cultural references. This can help us identify their location and target audience within New York.
Identifying sports relevance:
Identifying Key Terms: We begin by searching for specific sports-related terms, such as 'sports' or any other industry terms in an influencers profile (including their name, bio, and posts).
Expanding with Synonyms and Variations: Our algorithm recognizes related terms within the industry and other sports specializations. We also account for variations, ensuring a comprehensive view of the influencer's expertise.
Multilingual Detection: To ensure a global reach, we use an Al-based multilingual sentence transformer to detect influencers in different languages, so we don't miss out on valuable sports voices around the world.
Assigning Relevance Scores: Each influencer profile is assigned a score based on their relevance to the sports category. The higher the score, the more aligned their profile with your campaign needs.
Prioritizing Top Influencers: In our recommendations we prioritize the influencers with the highest relevance scores. This helps us to ensure that the profiles suggested are the best fit for your marketing strategy.
During the location identification process, we assign a score to each YouTube influencer profile that reflects its relevance to sports and New York.
Then we use these scores to rank the profiles in our listings. Influencers with higher relevance scores in both categories - sports and their connection to New York - are ranked higher in the results.
As a result, when you search for sports YouTube influencers in New York in our database, the most relevant profiles appear first. This makes it easier for you to find the best match for your project.
We update our database monthly to ensure you have access to the most current and relevant sports YouTube influencers in New York. The profiles listed reflect the latest data as of April 2025.
Our automated system continuously monitors YouTube, tracking changes in follower count, engagement levels, and content activity from sports influencers in New York. This ensures that our database remains accurate and relevant and helps you find the best sports YouTube influencers in New York for your campaigns at any given time.
