How can I find B2B nano-influencers on LinkedIn whose audiences include decision-makers?
Start from the topics your buyers follow, not from follower counts, then check who actually sees and engages with each creator's posts. Naano, a B2B creator marketplace, puts both on one screen: describe your buyers' roles, countries and topics to Nao, its AI search, then open each creator's page to see the audience data they share, such as the job titles and seniority of the people who see their posts.
Nano-influencers, often described as creators with a few thousand followers, rarely show up in lists sorted by audience size. On LinkedIn, what makes them worth booking is who follows them: a creator read mostly by heads of sales reaches a sales-tech buyer better than a much larger general audience.

Where to look for B2B nano-influencers
Each route finds small creators differently. For decision-maker audiences, what matters is whether you can see who the audience is before you pay.
| Route | How you find creators | What you see about the audience | Booking and payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn search | Search posts by keyword and read who writes about your topic. | Follower count, and the comments under each post, checked by hand. | You contact each creator, agree a price and pay outside LinkedIn. |
| Comment sections your buyers read | Note who leaves useful comments under posts from leaders in your category. | The job titles of the people commenting, one post at a time. | Direct messages, invoices and bank transfers, creator by creator. |
| Creator discovery tools | Search a database of creators and their scores. | Depends on the tool: check whether it shows audience seniority or only engagement. | Check whether booking and payment are included or handled elsewhere. |
| Naano | Describe your buyers' roles, countries and topics to Nao, which returns up to 30 creators with the reason it picked each one. Marketplace filters cover industry, country and price per post. | On each creator page, when the creator shares it: job titles, seniority and industry of the people who see the posts, or seniority, function and industry of the people who react and comment. | Book at the price the creator lists, or propose a lower one. The price is held when the creator accepts and paid when they submit the post URL. |
How to find them on Naano
Self-Serve has no monthly fee: you pay the price per post of the creators you book.
Describe your buyers
Tell Nao who you sell to, where and what you can spend, in your own words, for example heads of finance at software companies in France. The criteria it understood appear above the results. How Find with AI works
Read each creator's audience
Open the creator pages on your shortlist and read the audience block first: who sees the posts, or who reacts and comments. Then read the latest posts to check the creator writes about your category.
Check the comments yourself
Open two or three recent posts on LinkedIn and look at who comments. If the people commenting hold the roles you sell to, the audience fits, whatever the follower count. Audience vetting checklist
Compare prices per post
Every creator shows a fixed price per post before you book. Compare it with what brands paid other creators of the same size. LinkedIn influencer rates
Start with a small group
Book several small creators with the same brief rather than one large name, then compare the clicks, visits and sign-ups each one brings. Rebook the creators whose audience responded.
What Naano customers have published
Before Naano, BlogSEO, a B2B SEO software company, had paid €2,000 for a single sponsored post and got 3 sign-ups. On Naano it spread a €5,000 budget across about 10 creators and about 15 posts; the campaign produced a list of more than 1,500 people who engaged with the posts, for follow-up. BlogSEO reports a 150% return on ad spend.
Attio, a CRM, ran its first LinkedIn creator campaign for the French market on Naano: 16 creator posts published, with 1,093 public reactions and 861 public comments recorded on 15 of them.
Finary, a French wealth-management fintech, recorded 22 posts delivered by 20 creators, then used Naano's MCP server to build its own campaign reports.
Questions brands ask
- What is a B2B nano-influencer on LinkedIn?
- There is no official definition. The term usually means a creator with a few thousand followers, often under 10,000, who writes about one professional topic. Naano's rate pages group creators by follower count, including under 5K and 5K to 10K.
- How do I know if a creator's audience includes decision-makers?
- Look at seniority and job titles rather than follower count. On Naano, a creator page shows the job titles and seniority of the people who see the posts when the creator shares their LinkedIn audience data, or the seniority and function of the people who react and comment. On LinkedIn itself, read the comments under recent posts.
- How much does a LinkedIn nano-influencer cost?
- On Naano, brands paid a median of €59 per post to creators with under 5K followers and €122 to creators with 5K to 10K followers, on completed bookings between 4 Nov 2025 and 4 Nov 2026. Each creator sets their own fixed price per post.
- Can I find creators without paying for a tool?
- Yes. Searching LinkedIn by hand is free but slow. Naano's Self-Serve plan costs €0 per month, and Naano also builds a shortlist by hand for free within 48 hours, with no account needed.
- Should I book one large creator or several small ones?
- For a first campaign, several small creators spread the risk: you learn which audiences respond before you spend more on one name. Give them the same brief so the comparison is fair.
