Skip likely bots and spam
This setting filters out accounts with spam-like activity, so they aren't targeted. It's turned on by default, and we recommend leaving it on.
Other quality settings
You'll find these under Audience filters → Quality on the Targeting page.
Setting | What it does | Default |
Public accounts only | Only reaches public accounts | Off |
Skip likely bots and spam | Filters out accounts with spam-like activity | On |
Skip business accounts | Focuses on personal accounts | Off |
Min / Max followers of a follower | Only reaches accounts within a follower-count range | Empty |
Using follower-count limits
Setting a minimum and maximum follower count helps you avoid accounts that are unlikely to engage. For example:
A minimum helps skip brand-new or empty accounts.
A maximum helps skip very large accounts that rarely follow back.
Keep the range reasonable. Very tight limits can shrink your audience and slow growth. Check the Audience preview panel after making changes.
Train Kicksta to spot the right people
AI training also improves quality. Saying no to profiles that look fake or off-topic teaches Kicksta to avoid similar accounts.
