Target Competitors' Followers

You sell a product or service, and you know where your audience already gathers: around your competitors. This bot collects the followers of the Instagram accounts you name so you can show them your own ads. 🎯

The idea in brief

You give the bot competitor accounts, it gathers a list of their followers and contact details, and you load the result into an ad account to run targeting. That is how a third-party Telegram app directory describes the work.

The logic is easy to see: people who follow a similar brand are more likely to care about your offer than a random audience.

What the menu offers

• /main_menu. The bot's main menu.
• /run_parsing. Start collecting contacts.
• /tasks_list. The list of collection tasks.
• /balance. Top up your balance.
• /settings. Settings.
• /support. Support.

A balance top-up command points to a paid model: collection costs money. Check the price inside the bot before paying.

Using it step by step

1. List the accounts of your direct competitors.
2. Start collection from the menu and wait for the task to finish.
3. Check the result in the task list.
4. Load the audience into an ad account and test an ad on a small budget.

What to know before paying

Collecting followers usually breaks the social network's own rules, and an account tied to it can get restricted. Never enter the login and password of your main profile into third-party bots.

People's contact details are personal data. In Russia their processing is covered by the personal data law, in Europe by GDPR. Using collected data for advertising without a legal basis can be illegal, and the responsibility sits with you as the advertiser.

Instagram belongs to Meta, which is designated an extremist organization and banned in Russia. If you work in Russia, assess the risks and advertising requirements beforehand. ⚠️

Safer alternatives

If collecting other people's contacts feels risky, there are safer ways to reach the same audience. Ad platforms let you target by interests and behavior, and lookalike audiences are built from your own customers with their consent.

Another route is your own mailing to people who left their contact voluntarily. That audience is smaller, but the response is usually stronger and there are no legal problems.
