Find artists on Instagram (ReachVerse)

The ReachVerse section finds artists for you. You give it some accounts to start from. Verse opens them through your Instagram profile and finds the people connected to them.

Verse saves the right people to Leads, the list of artists you found. For each one, it saves the profile link, category and bio. It also saves email and phone, if the artist shows them.

Before you start, you need an Instagram profile in Profiles that you are signed in to. A new VerseAnty profile needs a warm-up first. Warm-up means you use the account by hand for 48 hours. See Instagram profiles.

Add sources

A source is an account where the artists you want come together. For example, a release page, a music media page, a curator, a producer or a label in your genre. A few small sources usually give more good artists than one huge source.

Where to look

In What to check, tick where Verse should look for people. You can tick more than one.

Check profiles is useful when you already have a list of artists. For example, from Spotify or a spreadsheet. Then Verse only collects details about these artists.

Who to save

In the Who to save block, you choose which profiles go into Leads.

• Save: Only artists, Artists + producers or Everyone.
• Only with contacts: save only people with an email or phone number.
• Followers range: how many followers a profile must have. Turn on Use follower range and fill in From and To. If To is 0, there is no top limit.

How many to check

• Publications per source: how many posts or tagged posts to check for each source. For example, 6 means up to 6 posts. For big media pages you can set up to 2000.
• Followers per source and Following per source: from 1 to 5,000. A safe start is 100 per source. Then raise it slowly.

The trial has extra limits. One run can use up to 2 sources. Each source gets 6 posts and 100 followers.

Your plan's search limit counts only new profiles saved to Leads. Profiles that you already have, or that did not pass the filters, do not count.

How Verse skips what it already checked

Verse remembers which sources, stories, posts and profiles it already checked. It does not spend time on them again. If you stop a search halfway, the next run starts from the same place.

Settings in the Memory block:

Above the source list there is a ⋯ menu. It has two buttons:

• Clean Scouted removes sources that Verse already checked from the list;
• Clear Memory makes Verse forget which profiles, stories, posts and tagged posts it checked. The artists you found stay.

You can keep some accounts out of your results forever. Open Leads → Exclusions. Add usernames one by one, as a list, or from a file with Import TXT. Add your own accounts, other producers you know, and artists you already work with.

How Verse knows who is an artist

Each profile Verse finds gets a category: Artist, Producer, Media or Other. Verse AI picks the category from the profile's details.

Sometimes the AI server is down for a short time. The search does not stop. The profile gets a first guess and is saved. Later, the AI checks it again by itself. If you see AI connection errors in the logs, you did not lose any artists.

Start the search

Work with the artists you found

The table has these columns: User, Email, Phone, Category, Source, Bio and Date. You can search by username, email, phone, source and bio.

• Copy copies the table. You can choose: all profiles, with email, with phone, with email or phone, or with no contacts.
• You can copy one column. For example, profile links for your campaign. Click the copy button in the column header.
• Export saves the list as an Excel file (XLSX). If a copied table looks wrong after you paste it, use export.
• The More menu has Refresh and Clear. Clear deletes all the artists you found.

Move artists to the CRM

The CRM is your contact list. It is one table with every artist and deal.

Labels, notes, source and contacts move together with each profile. If you import again, Verse updates the contacts you already have. It does not make copies.

Now you can message the artists. Start a first campaign or send right from the CRM.
