Howdy everyone! I'm from Chicago born and raised but live in The Land of Enchantment. I'm a PhD in physiological ecology and community ecology. An avid bird enthusiast and an avid White Sox fan and I LOVE the outdoors. I travel the entire western hemisphere with my dog Kaiser to do biological research, hike camp and hunt, meet new people and cultures, and spread education on science. I'm pro-choice because it is scientifically and morally ethical and I'm always down to chat about topics on history, science, sports, movies, old 90s cartoons, and politics!
We use an advanced automated system to collect YouTube influencer profiles by regularly monitoring the YouTube database. Our system identifies the profiles of Chicago-based YouTube influencers within the travel niche by focusing on the following key metrics:
Relevance to travel: Our system analyzes each influencer's username, bio, and posts to confirm that their content is related to the travel 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 Chicago.
Public Profiles Only: We exclude private profiles, even if they are Chicago-based and publish travel-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 Chicago-based travel influencers with a minimum of 5,000 followers.
By analyzing these key statistics, our system automatically identifies the most relevant travel influencers located in Chicago, 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 travel YouTube influencers in Chicago.
Identifying Influencer Location in Chicago:
Profile Location Information: First, we check if the influencers profile explicitly mentions city or country. If the profile contains certain specific cities from Chicago, or any other reference to Chicago, we automatically mark the profile as Chicago-based.
Bio and Content Analysis: If no explicit location is mentioned, our system scans the influencer's bio for any references to Chicago, such as cultural symbols, language spoken within Chicago, or location- specific hashtags that could indicate the influencer's connection to Chicago.
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 Chicago or any related symbols suggesting origin from Chicago.
Localized Content: We analyze the influencer's content for any localized posts that show landmarks from Chicago, events, or local cultural references. This can help us identify their location and target audience within Chicago.
Identifying travel relevance:
Identifying Key Terms: We begin by searching for specific travel-related terms, such as 'travel' 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 travel 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 travel voices around the world.
Assigning Relevance Scores: Each influencer profile is assigned a score based on their relevance to the travel 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 travel and Chicago.
Then we use these scores to rank the profiles in our listings. Influencers with higher relevance scores in both categories - travel and their connection to Chicago - are ranked higher in the results.
As a result, when you search for travel YouTube influencers in Chicago 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 travel YouTube influencers in Chicago. 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 travel influencers in Chicago. This ensures that our database remains accurate and relevant and helps you find the best travel YouTube influencers in Chicago for your campaigns at any given time.
