How micro-influencers matter for your farm area

A creator with 5 000–50 000 local followers often enjoys higher trust and reply rates than a celebrity account. Their posts feel like friendly recommendations and can quickly spotlight new listings, sales results, or market tips to the exact buyers already interested in your neighbourhood.

A simple 5-step AI workflow

1. Define your buyer persona
   Age, price point, lifestyle, preferred social apps.

2. Build a keyword & location sheet
   Suburb names, local cafés, schools, sporting clubs, hashtags.

3. Run a discovery search
   Drop the sheet into one of the tools below, add follower-range filters (e.g. 3 k–25 k), and export a shortlist.

4. Vet authenticity & alignment
   Check engagement rate, audience location split, previous brand partnerships, and any fake-follower flags.

5. Draft and send outreach emails
   Personalise one clear benefit (exclusive content, neighbourhood insights, giveaway), set a simple call-to-action, and track replies in your CRM.
