What is the best tool to find most influential people/most followers in an industry?

Manually you can search hashtags relevant to the industry. Some posts will have higher numbers of likes and comments which usually means a higher number of followers. Good place to start. You can also search who they are affiliated with and the hashtags they use

I think socialbakers has a tool for this. I’ve used another one called phlanx in the past but I wouldn’t reccomend it.

Awario let’s you sort brand mentions by follower count.

I am working on a tool Twitter tool (a bot) to do the exactly same, apart from realtime keyword monitoring. Please DM me if you need more details.

I see you are looking to find the most influential people/most followers in an industry, but which social media are you wanting to look in. The toold for instgram are different to those for twitter etc.
