I am looking for a developer to build a WordPress-based website that ranks social media influencers within a specific niche community. The platform will track and rank influencers across multiple platforms including: YouTube Instagram TikTok Facebook The site will automatically pull follower/subscriber data using APIs and dynamically rank creators based on metrics such as follower count and growth.

Automated Ranking System The website should automatically rank influencers based on follower or subscriber counts. Example sections may include: Top YouTube Influencers Top Instagram Influencers Top TikTok Influencers Top Facebook Creators Fastest Growing Influencers Newly Added Influencers Rankings should update automatically as follower counts change. 3.
