# Content Criteria

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://fohr.writedocs.io/llms.txt).

The criteria that find creators by what they post and how it looks.

Content criteria help you find creators based on what they post and how their content looks. All of them are available in the **Content** group of the **Add criteria** menu.

Fohr uses AI to assign **DNA type** (A label Fohr assigns with AI to show how a creator presents themselves and engages with their audience.), **Core topics** (The topics Fohr assigns to a creator's profile with AI. Fohr does not rank them.), and **Visual style** (The overall look and feel of a creator's content. Fohr assigns it with AI from their images and captions.) based on creators' posts and images. Keep the following limitations in mind:

- Creators without a profile do not match these criteria unless you select **None of**.
- Fohr does not refresh profiles on a fixed schedule, so the data may not include a creator's most recent posts.

## DNA type

Use **DNA type** to find creators based on how they present themselves and engage with their audience.

DNA type describes a creator's behavior and approach, while **Profession** describes their job. A creator can match a DNA type without matching a corresponding profession.

The types are organized into the groups **Authority**, **Angle**, and **Mode**.

![The DNA type dialog. A search box reads Filter 16 types. Types sit in groups. Authority holds Credentialed Expert, Niche Specialist, Lived Experience, and Scene Insider. Angle holds Aspirational Icon, Everyday Relatable, Community Voice, and Advocate. Mode holds Educator, Taste Curator, Trendsetter, Practitioner, Entertainer, Adventurer, Founder Builder, and Lifestyle Documentarian. A counter reads 0 selected. Cancel and Apply close the dialog.](https://fohr.writedocs.io/images/pool-criteria-dna-type.png)

### How selected types combine

The matching rules depend on whether your selections belong to the same group or different groups:

- **Within the same group:** Selections work as alternatives (OR (At least one condition has to match.)). For example, selecting **Educator** or **Trendsetter** matches creators with either type.
- **Across different groups:** Selections work together (AND (Every condition has to match.)). For example, selecting **Educator** and **Credentialed Expert** requires a creator to have both types.
- **All of:** Requires creators to match every selected type. This rarely works for multiple types within the same group, because most creators have only one type per group. Some creators also have no **Authority** type.

## Core topics

Use **Core topics** to find creators based on the topics assigned to their profiles.

Topics are not ranked, so a minor topic counts the same as a main topic.

![The Core topics dialog. A search box reads Filter 32 topics. Topics sit in groups. Fashion & Style holds Fashion, Luxury Fashion, Streetwear, Menswear, Sustainable Fashion, and Vintage Fashion. Beauty & Wellness holds Beauty, Skincare, Fragrance, Wellness, and Fitness. Home, Food & Travel holds Home And Interiors, Food And Dining, Travel, and Pets And Animals. Family & Personal holds Parenthood And Family, Relationships, Personal Growth, and Culture And Identity. Work & Money holds Career And Entrepreneurship and Finance And Money. Culture, Media & Tech holds Entertainment, Art And Design, Books And Reading, Gaming, Sports, and Tech And Gadgets. Other holds Music, Comedy, Outdoors And Adventure, Automotive, and Diy And Crafts. A counter reads 0 selected. Cancel and Apply close the dialog.](https://fohr.writedocs.io/images/pool-criteria-core-topics.png)

A creator matches when at least one selected topic appears on their profile. Select **All of** to require every selected topic.

## Visual style

Use **Visual style** to find creators based on the overall look and feel of their content. Fohr evaluates both their images and captions.

![The Visual style dialog. A search box reads Filter 28 styles. Styles sit in groups. Color & Light holds Neutral, Earth Tones, Pastel, High Contrast, Colorful, Bright, and Dark Moody. Mood holds Cozy, Playful, Serene, and Bold. Craft holds Editorial, Minimalist, and Cinematic. Aesthetic holds Feminine, Urban, Vintage, Classic, and Luxury. Other holds Cool Tones, Grayscale, Maximalist, Elegant, Romantic, Bohemian, Edgy, Sporty, and Candid. A counter reads 0 selected. Cancel and Apply close the dialog.](https://fohr.writedocs.io/images/pool-criteria-visual-style.png)

Visual style (The overall look and feel of a creator's content. Fohr assigns it with AI from their images and captions.) uses the same matching rules as **Core topics** (The topics Fohr assigns to a creator's profile with AI. Fohr does not rank them.):

- By default, a creator matches when at least one selected style applies to them.
- **All of** requires every selected style to match.

## Keywords

Use **Keywords** to find creators based on specific terms in their posts, bio, or name.

Each keyword criterion searches one location at a time. To search multiple locations, such as **Posts** and **Bio**, add **Keywords** as a separate criterion for each one.

![The Add Keywords dialog. Look in offers Posts, Bio, and Name, with Posts selected. Match offers Any of, All of, and None of, with Any of selected. A Terms box reads Type a term and press Enter, and a line under it reads Matched against post captions, hashtags and tagged accounts from the last 12 months. Cancel and Apply close the dialog.](https://fohr.writedocs.io/images/pool-criteria-keywords.png)

### Set up a keyword criterion

The dialog has the following settings:

- **Look in:** Choose **Posts**, **Bio**, or **Name**. The description under the terms field explains what Fohr searches.
- **Match:** Choose **Any of**, **All of**, or **None of** to define how the terms must match. With **All of**, terms can match across different posts.
- **Terms:** Enter a term and press Enter to add it. You can add as many terms as needed.

### Where Fohr searches and how terms match

Each **Look in** option searches a different source and uses different matching rules.

| Look in | What it searches | How it matches terms |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Posts** | Post captions, hashtags (A word or phrase after the # sign in a post, used to tag its topic.), and tagged accounts (Accounts that a creator tags in a post.) from the last 12 months. Creator names are not included. | Captions match partial words, so **skin** also matches **skincare**. Hashtags (A word or phrase after the # sign in a post, used to tag its topic.) and tagged accounts (Accounts that a creator tags in a post.) require an exact whole-word match. |
| **Bio** | Instagram and TikTok bios, plus the Fohr tagline and description. | Every word in a term must appear as a whole word in the same bio. |
| **Name** | The creator's name and handle. | Matches every word in the creator's name or the exact handle. |

When a pool uses a keyword criterion, the creator's side panel in the results displays matching posts first. See [Read a Pool's Results](https://fohr.writedocs.io/docs/admin/pool/results/#creator-panel).
